View Full Version : Contributors only
This forum should be visible only to current contributors and admins/mods. We want to use this to deal with financial issues that some of us may not want to be discussed elsewhere.
I will setup a mailing list too, if necessary.
Anybody here has any input on how this should go feel free to post :)
:v408:
Rez, do you think we can use this area to keep a record of how much $$ we have, when payments are due, as well as to post reminders to contributors?
And as Rez said, any and all input is welcome!
I think thats a good idea...costs, receipts, reminders
:5ok: Should make things easier.
BTW, how are we doing for the next payment?
actually I was about to ask you guys... it's been a while since last time we discussed this... so let us know...
and every now and then, a note about these issues should be posted for all to see... maybe some new members are willing and able to contribute, or some older members will be in a better position than 2 months ago to help...
SANT, it looks like I hadn't properly enabled access to this forum eventhough I thought I did when I checked...anyhow...your post is right ofcourse and I will post more numbers and dollars here and ask in the forums too.
One point though, to be honest, it is difficult to have uncertainty about finances every 1 or 2 months, I mean we can't keep going based on 'who can this month but maybe not next month'. That is why we keep posting about regular contributors so we don't have to keep posting 'who can?'
yep, let's start counting how many of us are surely willing to do a monthly donation,
and how much... so we know we're going to be OK in the long run... then it wouldn't hurt to set a date of the month when we all can submit our contribution, that way we can send reminders... and all of us will know we will get them... that way no one feels like we're asking for "PAYMENT" in case someone is having a difficult month, and for that one time, can't contribute...
I do have an excel list of contributors and I will make it 'public' here. A few of us are doing regularly and we just have to be sure that, barring those difficult months, everybody (new and old contributors) does so long term
I'm really sorry you guys, but I doubt that I will be able to make my next contribution this month. My mom is giong overseas to visit family so I will probably have to wait until next month. I know I haven't sent in money for a while, but I'll try ASAP.
Thanks

As far as I can see, there are only 4 contributors. Are our contributions really helpfull? We have so many working class people at MM. Shouldn't you guy take some serious initiatives to make them contribute a bit of their salaries? Whats so strenuous in paying 10 bucks a month?
Anyway,
10.8.06
10.9.06
:)
Thanx very much for your continuing support Rahul.
We have to remind the other contributors and potential new ones to help very soon.

If you have any suggestions or ideas for how to get it across tio the members of MM that we NEED a pool of regular contributors, it would be appreciated. As it is, Rez and I have to ask, beg and remind people all the time. You're absolutely right that if we had enough people, we'd all be chipping in just $10 a month! I think one problem is transferring funds from so many countries. PayPal is the easiest way to do it, and that can be set up with either a credit card or a bank card.
BTW, Rez, goose sent me a contribution which I will cash. Do you want me to send you the $$ or paypal you?
paypal if you can Debs :)
ENIS, David_18 and everybody else, any help is appreciated but more than ever we need regular conributions, like Debs says.
gice me just your bank account david and i will send u some cash to help this site :)
Rez, I will. I'll cash the MO tomorrow and deposit it. See, even if people wanted to send like goose does, every so many months, it would help!
just give me bank account :) and i will sent some money
rez, sent some funds to your paypal acct.
Thank you midori, really appreciated
sorry for the delay. just sent one to you 28 Sept 2006, via Paypal Rez.
Received, thanx very much Kui

Thanx very much Rahul, really appreciated
October pymt sent.....you said end of the month so hopefully this works
Thank you midori, yes its fine and really appreciated
Contribution call for all of us who pledged so. We are into our last 4 days til end of the month. Just a friendly reminder.
DATED 30 OCTOBER 2006
Again as a friendly reminder to all those who have pledged, this is the time where you measure yourself to what you claim. I understand there were at least 10 of us who stated they would help contribute/fund this site. If not yet done so, please paypal or via other sources do so to rezag. Thanks.
FORZA MILAN!
I sent mine in the middle of the month. What's the situation with the finances, how many people have contributed?
Thanx everybody. I will make a list of contributors/finances in the middle of the week after, hopefully, all have sent in their contributions
Out of the list of people that came forward:
midori, mrki, SANT, Vadim, zlatanov, acmilanone, Debs, hitmannq8, kastriot, Kui, rahul.acm
I have received from:
Kui, midori, Vadim, zlatanov, Debs, rahul.acm
I hope I didn't miss anybody here...in the past 3 weeks I got replies from acmilanone, kastriot, mrki and SANT that they will too.
What does everybody think about the response?
6 out of 11?? You don't want me to say what I think of the response. How much did each of us contribute? $15? That's $90 of the $160 we need. The server isn't going to keep us online b/c they like us or b/c of our good looks.
Rez, did any of that server info I sent along to you sound promising? Anything cheaper that gives us the performance we need?
Its $110 with mine. Obviously I think everybody else should do their best, especially if they came forward.
Some are cheaper but as reliable one can never be sure. We/I will use this month to make a final decision on other cheaper solutions and that includes trying to get a discount from the current host.
Nov. $ sent.
So how are we doing commitment/contribution wise?
The ones who did send last month were Kui, midori, Vadim, zlatanov, Debs, rahul.acm plus I received a check from RIO. I gave all the info, including my postal address, to the others who asked for it...
zlatanov
27-11-2006, 12:11
so, that basically means that with 8 (the 7 above+rezag) people on the list, provided that it stays the same, that makes $20/month from each of us, right?
I'll send in mine for this month tomorow or today.
I'll be paypal-ing mine come 3:45 AM EST.
I'll paypal my contribution in today.
Rez, I hate to nag you but have you looked at any other server solutions? At least we're not paying $1500 a month like Jan was!! :u31:
By the way, to those of you I sometimes chat with during the day from work....I'm running Vista and have some weird version of Office running as well. No MSN link on my browser so I have to do a little digging around. PM me if you want to gab at me or email me at work and if you need that address, PM me!! :kotc:
Big thanx to those who keep helping.
I hope everybody, more than last month, do contribuite in the next couple of days.
Debs, I will see how the current host respond to my email asking for a discount and take it from there.
Big thanx to those who keep helping.
I hope everybody, more than last month, do contribuite in the next couple of days.
I'm reading that as, we're coming up short this month!!!
Yes we are, the same goes for last month (see my post above)
btw for those who wonder, the ads don't generate much (around $10/month) but the amount is increasing, very slowly, because it depends on advertisers buying individual text ads.
sorry I have been away... my contribution is still missing... Reza, I will send previous, present and next month's today via PayPal...

Roll Call for all those who pledged so! Rez and Debs I just put mine in for this month. I'm off to Utah for a ski trip. See you all after the New Years probably sometime on the 3rd or 4th of Jan.
zlatanov
31-12-2006, 09:41
mine is in the mail ;)
have fun on that ski trip, Kui :)
LOL! Its been a while. I'm going to have to buy a whole new pair of boots up there. The selection was quite limited here in Hawaii. There are a few shops but the prices were just plain robbery.
I paid yesterday, as soon as I got back from vacation. Reza, can you confirm?

New years bring trouble along with them. Sorry, I will have to delay the payment by 1-2 weeks but I will keep everything balanced. :moan:
Hey Rez & Debs! Will paypal my payment sometime today or tomorrow as agreed/committed for the ending of January.
You know what? While I'm thinking of it and reading Kui's post, today is payday for me so I'll also send in mine. That'll help me at this end as I have to determine how much I can pay towards my roof and how much I have to borrow. Watch your email for the alert, Rez!
ok Rez... sent mine in early Saturday morn.
I wonder if only Debs, Rez and I are the only ones keeping up on this??? I do hope others out there who have made a pledge here keep that pledge.
If we are the only ones, we're going to make some massive changes very soon.
I've sent in 20 bucks a month since August. I'll send in my contribution for January later today.
Thanks much Vadim!
Rezzie, can you keep us posted?
Have just sent payment for January. Reza, can you confirm?
Thanx Vadim.
I will post about how we are doing soon
zlatanov
01-02-2007, 18:58
Mine's in the mail too
You are doing slightly better as the resident forum troll have decided to go the distance and registring at paypal. give a note if you got the money Rezag. :)
Thanx for the help kris, really appreciated :)
Thanx for the help kris, really appreciated :)
I will do anything for my number one dating site. :)
Hey Rez... will send you mine for the time Feb/March sometime tonight.
Done and Done Rez. My usual amount. Thanks for the good work you do keeping it running.
REZA!! Just sent mine. PM me and let me know how we're doing.
And a big THANK YOU here to Rez for working at getting us back online with what seems to me to be very little if any loss of data! :pp20:
BTW, if that down time we just had doesn't drive home to people what life will be like without MM, then they need to start thinking about it. We're STILL having to beg people to chip in, which simply is not right, nor will it continue. At this point, I'm out of ideas for how to drive the point home.
Thanx everybody for continuing to help.
Better and more complete updates coming soon :)
Just sent a payment.
Btw, when I couldn't get online I thought I'd been banned for being late with payment :( :D
just sent in a payment for february, sorry for being late
As it winds down the Month of March unto April, I hope we still have our pledged contributors out there. Those who have done so and continue to do so.... THANKS.
$20 just sent for March, can you confirm, reza?
Rez... just done my part. Paypaled it to you today 02 April, 2007 Monday morning.
Thanx, Kui, Vadim and everybody who continues to support.
Just sent in a payment as well!!!
ooopsss! Its already MAY! I'll pay Rez my usual on like Saturday morn. Sorry for the tardiness.
I'll send mine in today, toots, I think I can spare some extra as well!
Done and done. Just sent my spiel to Rez. I wonder 'bout the other pledges? Eh Debs?
We're going to talk about less expensive servers and make a move. We just have to. It's not fair to have to lean heavily on any one person to keep this place running!
Just sent in 20 bucks, sorry for the long wait people, financial trouble lately. Can you confirm, Reza?
Thank you very much Vadim, and no need for apology
Pay day is Friday, Rez! I'll be sending you a payment.
A gentle reminder to everyone else who's been so kind as to step forward--our main contributor, the person who's been pitching in whatever balance is left unpaid, is incommunicado and is not here at the boards. This could be long-term. I cannot afford to drop $100 a month, neither can Rezag, so please we need you now more than ever! THANK YOU!
$20.00 sent in for June, sorry for the delay :embarass:
Its the end of the month, I hope everybody and more still contributes. Thanx :)
)*^%*%)&(+(*^*%$
Just tried to change my email addie b/c my provider has finally switched from Adelphia to Time Warner/Roadrunner. Never simple, I'm totally screwed as far as having a main email address now. Wil have to make calls! But let me gop paypal you before I even touch the info on that account!!
Please let me know if you got it! :5ok:
Got it, thanx Debs.
Thats internet, and life, for you. Never simple is it?
Got it, thanx Debs.
Thats internet, and life, for you. Never simple is it?
Turns out I was just using the wrong web page for email....but no info I had said to use this one page, so I did a live chat support and that was very cool. Next I have to figure out my new security system b/c it wipes out my history and cookies all the time. That's just plain annoying! At least I don't have to change my email address all over the place--use the adelphia one or the new roadrunner one, the messages end up in the same place!
My PayPal account has been messed up, I'll try to send in the money by Sunday.
Reza, when is the next contribution due? I get paid next Friday, so hopefully after that will be OK. I'll pay the domain renewal in October, probably stick with the 2 year renewal as usual... :5ok:
Not to be a pest like I usually am :) but I want to ask who is still contributing and if so remind them to send in their payments. Thanx :)
I will renew the domain in the next week or so....
Please remember to send in your contributions :)
Just an update too:
I have been kind of kept busy with work recently, had to talk to the host to tweak some settings when the site seemed slow couple of times...its going to be an ongoing effort I guess
$20 sent in for February, can you confirm Reza?
Just sent you a server payment, Rezzie! :3band:
Thank you very much Vadim
Thank you guys for keeping this site up and running!
Thanx Vadim
Sorry didn't this post earlier
Thanx very much Vadim.
I know its been well over a week since you sent, sorry.
Would like to thank Vale46 for helping. I have enabled access so he can view this forum now.
Just sent in $20 for September reza, completely forgot that the month ended.
Thanx very much Vadim, its appreciated any time you can.
Thanx very much for continuing to help :)
I sent you some help, sorry it isn't much. I'm also sorry that I have been absent for a while. I'll try to be more consistent. Keep up the good work!
Oh, I hope I sent it to the right account:
rezag@canada.com
Please let me know if it needs to be corrected.
Thanks
Alfred
