Donations
« on: July 11, 2011, 09:42:38 pm »
You may have noticed a new donate button below the miscellaneous box on the main page. Effectively, you can now donate to Omnimaga!

You know, hosting Omnimaga, its sister site TIMGUL and OmnomIRC isn't free. It costs up to $1000 a year, our founder DJ_O used to pay as much as $600 himself, including Omnimaga and TIMGUL's hosting and the contest prizes (the last $400 being for hosting OmnomIRC on Netham45's VPS), but this year, we have to rely on the community, since DJ left. So feel free to donate some money :) We already found members willing to pay rather huge donations already, so the future of Omnimaga is already safe for now, but we would like to leave everyone the chance to contribute, so we could use the extra money on bigger contest prizes and other miscellaneous goodies such as upgrading the hosting package if we need to.

I would also want to remind you that you have a little more than 3 days left to submit your program to the Axe programming contest. I recommend you to take your time not to rush your release nor to wait at the last minute to send it.

I'm still waiting on my PayPal balance to update, and you know where it's going.

I think our goal for 2011 is about $1000, I told about it in the first post. The hosting alone is about $340, due for Oct. 18.

Why does Omnimaga cost so much?
I mean, it doesn't cost me any money to host my website from my computer (except internet bills).
Could you tell us each thing that costs money and how much?


Can money be sent by mail?
My parents would say no to anything over a dollar.

We have a shitload more traffic than your home computer.  We pay for nice hosting.

Well, I think your upload speed is probably too poor to handle a big website such as Omnimaga.

And, by mail, I don't know, that would be possible. You may want to PM me about that.

I understand that :P

I am just ignorant about how these things are charged.  Like would getting rid of the Spam section save money?  Or should we download some more ram (old joke)

I may pm you Juju when i get the time, but I make no decisions at night and I am extremely busy next week.


I am willing on clicking over 9000 google ads for money :P

Well, let's put it this way.  I'll be donating $100 as soon as PayPal gets its head out of it's ass.  If there are a few others who do similar amounts, and a bunch with small amounts, we'll make the goals.

If I had any money I'd donate. My parents don't even know I'm on this site and they control all of my finances. They disprove greatly of discussions on the internet

I hope you guys get the money for this. I will do anything I can that would help keep omni alive

Just to give a little brief on the scenario:

z80man has already pledged $150
SirCmpwn has pledged an amount I don't know distributed over a period of time
I have pledged an undisclosed amount approximately equivalent to z80man's donation.
the_mad_joob has pledged $30.

The reason Omni is so expensive to host is because we use a lot of disk space to hold all of the downloads/attachments and because we need a lot of bandwidth (60 GB a month on average, if I remember correctly. 90 GB during nDoom). On top of a reliable host, that's expensive.

Right now, I'm 14 and poor :( If I get a summer job (my parents want to keep me off the computer :P) I'll try to donate some money.
