Title: GPZ Donation thread
Post by: Grimmwolf on January 21, 2007, 06:04:25 PM
pkk created a link on the GB main page (http://www.german-borg.de) where you can donate cash for the server bill.
We pay 348,18 Euro per 6 months, pkk will post the balance in this thread every now and then. If the donations don't cover the cost, pkk, Zapper and I will pay it.

If you don't want to donate to a specific server, head over to freeallegiance (http://www.freeallegiance.org) and use the donate button there.

WTF PayPal?
Don't you have a decent bank account? I won't deal through those scoundrels...

If you ask pkk, he will give you the contact details of his bank account. I don't he should post them in a public forum.

PKK every time you type "did" just delete it and type the next word in past tense (usually add a "e()d" at the end), it's driving me nuts  :wink:

Pretty lousy turnout. Considering the server costs hundreds to run...

Next payment due in early summer :)

You guys suck!

Nobody ever told me about this thread on IRC! ... or anywhere else for that matter.

And I had been asking ages and ages ago.

You be needed moar publicity I tell you, then maybe you will get more money.

I will spread the word to RT and tell them to come here and give donations, and you should make a thread or something when the FAO forums come back online and ask tiger to sticky it or put a link next to the Allegiance donation section.

Did I read that right? 348,18 Eu per 6 months? so 69,636 per year - which is like $130,000.00 AU / US a year?? That can not be right...
Title: Re: Euro Server Donation thread
Post by: rojomojo915 on October 05, 2008, 03:21:59 AM
Umm croc, that would 696.36 euro per year, or 963 usd per year
Title: Re: Euro Server Donation thread
Post by: Croc on October 05, 2008, 03:41:54 AM
Then they should make sure its a . not a , between numbers. Thats a lot better - will look into paying up a year for your guys, well, sometime this year. Not sure how I'll write it off against the business but... I'm sure we'll think of something.

In continental europe we use a comma as decimal separator.

(Yes I'm bored...) Well you (as in Europe, not you personally) shouldn't - http://ec.europa.eu/translation/writing/style_guides/english/style_guide_en.pdf (http://ec.europa.eu/translation/writing/style_guides/english/style_guide_en.pdf) - Commas only get used in budget legislation - currency is currency sign, protected space, numbers with protected spaces between groupings of '000's and a decimal to seperate units from subunits ie: € 348.18, not € 348,18

Section 20 from memory. (Sorry - used to do joint EU/Aust stuff back when it all changed.) ;)
Title: Re: Euro Server Donation thread
Post by: Grimmwolf on October 06, 2008, 04:42:10 PM
Well, you just gotta translate it to your decimal pattern, because changing numbers and counting is way more difficult than changing the language of your thoughts. When I stayed in england for a year, I was dreaming in english pretty quickly (of course it was riddled with mistakes.. ;) ). All my math and calculations I had to do in german.

If I did my calculations right, thats about $100 CAD/month, is that right?
E 348.18 (thats a decimal not a comma) for 6 months or $556.330 CAD/6 for $92.72/month.

Is that right? (I think it is)
Wow thats allot... :shock:

Thanks guys.

Maybe it will be replaced by another server, but that isn't decided yet.

Many people that proposed to donate for the server were already donating or poor PHD or std students(nab, grimmw), or they are schwäbische geizhälse, and will never donate more than 25€ per year (lexaal).

There are suggestions to run another one, but I don't think that I'll make a decision until x-mas.
