Jeff... that is some bad news sprung on the last minute. :icon_neutral:
I'm sending some $$$ your way. Please tell me you can hold our hosting while others have time to read the news and contribute too.
It's sent!
Sorry for the delay... had to have a little fight with paypal! They wouldn't accept my cards because I was registered in portugal... the only way was to close the account and re-create it again.
Anyways, I'm now armed and ready with a US paypal account for future transactions.
COME ON EVERYONE!!
The clock is ticking... Please help keep the site up!
Thanks Jorge. It is my fault about the last minute notice. They sent me a notice a month ago and then another last night. I completely forgot! I can renew another month to let more folks read this!
How are you liking arkansas?
OK you should have USD20 from me now.
Thanks Vaughan!
It's a good, relaxing and peaceful place, even the capital Little rock is not that big of a city. :)Quote:

But... back to subject... how are we doing Jeff? Have there been anonymous contributors? Are we close to hitting the minimum for 1 more year at least?
Nope, just you and Vaughan so far.Quote:

EDIT: I extended for 3 months. If it doesn't work out, I'll refund you guys your money!
Thanks to Bruce and Ramjet! We have enough for a 1 year but I'd like to
keep going.
Awesome you guys! :)Quote:

Lock in 100 AUD from me on 18th. HTH.
I think with everyone's contribution, we'll have made it for 3 years!
I'll let everyone know for sure and thanks again!!!
Jeff, is there a 4 or 5 year option maybe?
If yes, we could shoot for it. :)
Neogen, are you sure AMDusers is alive after 5 year? Better take one year because we dont know who will happen in the near future.
Lagu
As long as AMD keeps making CPUs.....just making my 2nd Llano system, then I will build a new system for my son, he just received a tax refund.Quote:

The site has been active since 2003 and we have more visitors now than ever.
Is there a way to make the visitors 'pay' for the site (by visiting a page with advertising from one of our affiliatesQuote:

Dirk, you really don't have enough hardware. You need more. Click here: http://stats.amdusers.com/affiliates.html
The affiliates page is in the main menu and the links works as a channel, but the rate of purchase through the channel is low.
Like I said,youeveryone needs new hardware. Click here to satisfy your need: http://stats.amdusers.com/affiliates.html
Yes,
We need hardware, and we CAN click on 'Affiliates', but it would help if a page visit on any page could automatically generate money.
Perhaps the affiliates could be asked whether they would want a small banner on a page which can be clicked.
BOINCStats has banners, FreeDC even has banners aimed at me specifically -In Dutch, for Dutch shops- so why can't we?
It's not FreeDC itself that puts dutch banners, but the advertising companies they use that catch your IP address and geolocate it to provide you banners in your language and products closer to you. It's all in aiming the product to the person. :)
We do have an always present Amazon banner on the top section of the forums here, but I don't know how it works in terms of generating revenue.
That is really good to readQuote:

So Jeff, are we covered at least until 2015? Assuming the world doesn't end this year. :)
By the way, don't we have to renew with vBulletin too every so often? Lets make sure we got all bases covered.
Transfer completed. HTH.
Thanks Dave!! We are renewed for 40 months!
I believe we own a lifetime licence for vBulletin. If my memory serves correctly, when we upgraded to the vBulletin Publishing Suite, we purchased the lifetime license. I think this was in 2010
Thanks again everyone - we should have all of our bases covered for at least 2015.
Yep - we have the lifetime license for vBulletin v4. When v5 comes out, if we decide to purchase, we'll have to buy another license.
As long as they keep supporting and doing security patches for v4 we should be good. Maybe around 2015 we will think about upgrading it? lol :)
