Site Owner tenjuna Posted March 29, 2005 Site Owner Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 ok guys, I have gotten this as far as I can without spending any extra money, but now it's time for me to put out the hat. if you guys want all the stuff I am trying to put together here, and you can afford to pitch in, this is what I need, and what I need it for: I currently need $142.50 to complete the database server, if anyone cares. this is what I ended up finding: dual 1.4 gig pentium 3 fc-pga2 2 gig ram raid 5 ultra waide scsi totaling 36gigs got it for $500, which is a freakin bargain. this will increase database processing by 200%. Edit: Futon - Star information is here http://www.dtrades.org/index.php?showtopic=29099 for those of you who are interested in gaining a star from your donations please PM cain providing proof that you donated. Thanks a lot guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrgnSlayer1289 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Tenjy, may I donate around 5-10$ in items, or sojs, so you would be able to resell for $$$ on Dbay or Ebay? If so, I'll donate DrgnSlayer~ Ps, if you could see my post in scammer accusations, and be able to return the FG I was scammed for, I could also use that and trade for more sojs.

The_Futon_God Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Whatever you can donate would be helpful. Can't take diablo items right now , neither of us have the time to turn that into cash at this time.

Seto Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 could we donate sojs and tell them to send items to either ur paypal account ..(its only way i can donate ..dont have creditcard to start my own paypal acc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I think for the most part tenjuna or futon do not have the time with all the work they are doing right now to accept any d2 item donations. If you really want to help out then just trade whatever you want to donate and sell the sojs, right now about 10-15 sojs will fetch $5.00 which would be an awesome help. Since a lot of people on this forum dont have a visa/paypal account if we could accomplish 160 members to donate about $5.00 each we will be smooth sailing.

AbsolutDB Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 It would be more logical for everyone to just round up some sojs from each member, then once we get a bulk amount sell them. I can make a mule and normally be on everyday to get pickups, then have a massive sale and donate kinda as a group. Just a thought, it would be easier for our younger members.

theallseeingeye Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 maybe we could make a thread and pin it in the non ladder trading area, and a few of us could make some donations to get the ball rolling, im sure others will follow suit if they see how needed it is. there are hundreds of members here and if each gave 1 soj that would make a ton of money. and the more "wealthy" players could offer even more. however, i dont think 1 soj would be enough to label someone as a donor lol, but this would have to be considered by futon and cain i guess. edit: maybe we could make a thread in here and pin it that lists all the people that donate? immortalize there names in a way.

I think maybe you could make a thread on top of the Trading Section asking for Soj /Rune/3/20/20 Donations, and have a moderator hold them and sell them as they get into bulk to get more $$$. Also, I should be donating 5-10$ soon I think... DrgnSlayer~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Owner tenjuna Posted April 4, 2005 Author Site Owner Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I think if someone were to take the initiative and just grab the item donations suggested on this thread, that would be good enough...we are overworked as it is. I currently need $142.50 to complete the database server, if anyone cares. this is what I ended up finding: dual 1.4 gig pentium 3 fc-pga2 2 gig ram raid 5 ultra waide scsi totaling 36gigs got it for $500, which is a freakin bargain.

KoNi Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Yes it is a great deal for the price i mean the boards and processors alone worth 500. So to get it with raid drives as well was killer! Worth donating for since i use these forums all day everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Owner tenjuna Posted April 5, 2005 Author Site Owner Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 yeah easily worth what I paid for it. it has a tyan 2688 Thunder Hesl-t mobo, with an Adaptec 2000s 0 Channel RAID card in it...the 2000s by itself goes for $350 on ebay. I am dropping 5x 9 gig 10k RPM Seagate Cheetah SCSI drives in it for 36 gigs of space. it came with a gig of Crucial registered PC133, and I am adding another gig to it. this should EASILY handle all of our database needs for the forseeable future. plus I can use the old parts to upgrade 2 of the other servers...with one of those upgrades being substantial (the e-mail/communications server will get a 300% boost in power).
