Time to upgrade the server and get ready for next season

How much money are you going to contribute to this new server????

 

you gonna put up the 10.000 dollars it would require for a new dedicated server?

the link to the tip jar is in my sig...go for it.

otherwise..layoff.

this is not a company run site..it is run by a man with a family and a job. He does this cause he love the Rockets...not to keep a bunch of posters happy.

Server goes down sometimes...deal with it.

 

BTW. Unless I am wrong, Its not like the server is crashing on its own. I believe Clutch shuts it down so that it wont crash on its own. Its usually for a very short period of time right after the game. I dont see what the big deal is about having to wait for 20 mins or so to post your thoughts.

Patience.

 

ouch....

You have been warned. (just in case you are dense)

god, I wish my wife would hit a lotto.....

 

......say the check is in the mail.

 

10,000 bucks. Over 14,000 registered members.

I know it may go against Clutch's beliefs as far as this site is concerned, but I wouldn't be opposed to a one-time required 'registration donation' of a buck. I'm sure most users wouldn't mind it and it sure would help him out.

 

Holy crap...I didn't notice the game was still on! The Damn Yanks tied it all up?!

Noooo! man in scoring position for the Yanks, no outs, top of the 11th.

 

I think the reason that's not possible is because it's illegal and would supposedly count as profit.

The NBA woudn't like it, even if it was like $1 per member.

It's a shame really.

 

I think Mooch has a point...

Even if say 2000 of those members are either duplicate monikers or not around anymore...if only half of the remaining members would up with 5 bucks to the tipjar...Clutch might be able to get some new hardware and maybe pay for alittle of the bandwidth this place surely consumes.

Keep in mind people

Clutch pays for all this stuff out of his pocket. There is NO company behind him..just one little family man and the Crew to help him run this place.

Which reminds me...I actually have a couple of extra bucks...time to give a little back for all that I have taken over the years.

Who's with me?

 

I just went and did it...

Im not gonna say ho wmuch...but why dont you try to outdo this poor white boy...email with how much and Ill tell ya if you beat me.

come on guys... Lets make Clutch have to go to the bank friday..

the new season is almost upon us, and this place is only gonna get busier...which means more bandwidth consumed..

Hell, just a little while ago when I cam on, there was over 300 posters on...

 

if everyone put in 5 bucks, it'd be done rather quickly

 

If you make it an event, and ask everyone to tip at that time (like the local radio stations), I bet you could accomplish much the same thing. A few simple, but nice prizes awarded by lottery could go a long way as well. (think draft lottery; say, $1 buys you a ping-pong ball

I'm not actually a fan of lotteries as ways of generating state revenue, but this is different. And I'm getting way off topic.

 

The $10,000 is inaccurate.

You can get a great server and high capacity hosting setup for much less than that.

 

it wasnt meant to be accurate...I was making a point.

and its not like we could get everyone to come up with that much anyway..but every little bit helps.

 

if everyone could donate a dollar there shouldnt be a problem
