Server donation time once again...

[Kaiine]

Please use PayPal and send the donation (large or small) to:

elite@toj.cc

Again, your help is appreciated and may God richly bless you all!

[Miscellaneous]

Elite, I would love to send a little whenever I have it.  However, I have no credit card or no paypal account.  I *could,* however, mail small payments to you whenever I did happen to have it.

If you want, drop me your mailing address in a pm or something. If you think its freaky giving your mailing address away to someone you met on the computer then don't http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Kaiine]

If you guys want to send money snail mail, that is fine. Just PM me and I will send you my address info.

Thanks!

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Elite if I didn't have to pay for dB's server I would send you some money but all my cs funds are tied up in that for now. Maybe if we get a sponsor later I'll send those funds to you guys. Until then good luck with it!

[Kaiine]

I have a simple solution for Dead Aim. Shut your server down and donate all funds to ToJ.

[Kaiine]

Er...sarcasm doesn't work well over the 'Net....bleh. Sorry, bad joke.

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

LoL I was like umm thats well rude.

I actually need to talk to you about some underlying issues though Alan. I think some people are taking dB the wrong way and I would like to start at the top and work my way down making sure everyone is aware of what dB is about, what its goals are (and the goals its not trying to achieve).

[Kaiine]

Sorry Dead Aim, I should have known better than that. Anyways, feel free to email me (elite@toj.cc) and share whatever is on your heart, bro.

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Hey man no hard feelings, and I'll take you up on the E-mail think as soon as I have time.

Hope you get lots of donations 16man pub server from laggyservers cost some bucks! You'll hear from me soon I'll try to email you sometime this afternoon.

[Mercury]

Elite that made me laugh sooo hard! you the funny man http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Anyway my brother recently took 40 bucks out of my wallet and bought me hitman 2. but then i got it free from a friend. so he returned it and bought speakers with the money. Then he gave me his old subwoofer and speakers. Now i dont have money. just good speakers http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Well Merc, sometimes life isn't fair.

[Que Pasa]

I need speakers...I've got a SB! Live card with 5.1 support. Right now my speakers are driven out of the headphone jack in the front of the computer. They're a nice set, and the amp that I use isn't too bad either.

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Sweetness Que. I need some car speakers. Think Im gonna get 2x 10's 4x new 6x9's. That should be enough for a camaro.

[Kaiine]

Ok, once again it's server donation time again. Thanks to all who sent me donations for last month - your help is appreciated by all!

Paypal: elite@toj.cc

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Hey Elite next month I'll be able to donate. GG. (my clan got sponsored).

Whaa? What is this clan sponsorship you speak of?

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Hey Tek, sry to jump the gun on the sponsor thing....it all fell through b/c of some stupid CAL admin mixups (not our fault) and instead of putting us in CAL-IM we got stuck back in CAL-O which is very depressing. Anywho when the sponsor heard that they dropped us. Now our leader is paying for vent, server, website and hasn't asked for help so far so I may still be able to contribute!

God Bless,

Micah.

[Kaiine]

Uh, ya. It's server donation time again guys. I'm going on vacation starting this weekend for 7 days - I can't afford to make the payment again...

This is the final time I'm asking, plz help.

Does that mean if no one can help you the ToJ server is going to be scrapped?

[Kaiine]

Afraid so...we've been thru once before you joined ToJ...

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Thats sad. I'll see what I can do. Me and myles may scratch up some $$ how much you need? If you don't wanna tell pm me.

[Kaiine]

The server costs $68 per month, for a 17 man server. So far, I have gotten nothing.

Hopefully something happens soon.

[rizz]

Argh why does noone send money to the server...

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Aight man I'll see what I can do, I'll talk to myles we may be able to help out. If not I'll send you some money personally.

[Kaiine]

I appreciate it Dead Aim...it seems that you and a few others care. One other member said he sent some cash via snail mail, which I greatly appreciate - you know who you are.

I will be going on vacation this weekend, and will not be back until August 3rd, I will evaluate the server situation then.

Thanks guys...

[TastyWheat]

no job = no $$

sorry... http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Well I am also going out of town today and won't be back until Monday or possibly friday. It all depends on how my weekend goes. Then I gotta get the money in my acc then my paypal acc then to you. May be a week or 2 before you get money if I can send some.

[LionOfJudah]

bye bye rude post sorry guys i feel bad now

Quote[/b] (LionOfJudah @ July 27 2003,7:26)]i do not want to bash you but guys come on jobs arelike ez to come by
*spews drink in shock* What? Easy to come by? I don't mean to be rude, but it's not wise to assume that every city's job market is as strong as that of the city in which you reside. A few months back, I noticed a headline in the Tulsa World that stated that Tulsa has the second highest unemployment rate in the nation. I'm working at a Walgreens as a photo tech while I have an A+ certification and years of computer experience in my hot little hands.

*cough* Again, I hope that I haven't come across as rude. Just please keep in mind that the job market varies from city to city.

[4t0p]

I'll do the coming across as rude ... even those of us that do work have other expenses and cant always afford what we want lion sry to say that

[Flashon]

Thanks for the tip Tek/4top... it had me baffled when Lion said that http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif I wish i was 18 so i'd get a job.. or somethin to support ToJ with http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif i feel terrible that theres nothin i can do and ToJ shakin to lose the server.

[LionOfJudah]

sry guys abuot the dumb post sometimes i can be very rude and retarded and inconsiterate.

Will you guys please forgive me. i mean yeah i was dumb and when i am dumb just smack me around and be rude to me thers like no other way for me to realize it unless it happens to me.

So in sumary
I am Sorry
When i am rude= Beat me up http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Flashon]

i think if i try to beat u up.. u'll stop me and end up beating me up http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif and besides i think its too far and costly.. i'll jus beat u in SC/CS http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

and.. this topics gone.. uh.. OFF TOPIC lol

[Kaiine]

The fate of the ToJ CS server isn't looking too good right now...

[LionOfJudah]

it will look good soon i hope i love the ToJ server......

[Kaiine]

Thanks to a large donation by an individual member, the server will be staying up awhile longer.

[LionOfJudah]

.d

[Tek7 (Legacy)]

*HINT* If anyone has any information about businesses or ministries that would like to sponsor our Tribe of Judah server, I (and I'm guessing Elite) would like to hear more. I haven't had a chance to seek out potential sponsors yet, but I'm not opposed to the idea.

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

/thinks about what Tek says. Starts talking to ppl.

[Flashon]

/thinks besides Dead_Aim... runs off to talk to others

[Kaiine]

/waits while you guys think and start talking to people.

[SuN]

Well... as soon as classes start again, I'm probably going to be able to run those "fun-draisers" again and send periodic donations to the "cause".

If... the server lasts that long...

On another note, even though I believe is important to have a "home" for CS... has the usage justified the cost? I mean: I've been checking the server lately, and many times there are only a few people showing up.

[Exo-Slayer]

ToJ is usualy the only place I play counter strike, but I hardly play anymore. I think the game is just getting old after 4 years and people are starting to notice other games out and soon to be out.

[Whon]

Elite I promised you a check and don't think I have forgotten I'm just saving up some extra cash here and there to try to make it usefull. Plus now that I should be back online shortly I can start focusing on things beyond manual labor...

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Well my summer job is over so i have no income. I will be trying to get a job soon at BEST BUYS and I plan on donating money to ToJ alot more then.

GG.

[Que Pasa]

I think I found the ultimate hook up for college money, no it's not scholarships, but it's a job that pays $30/hr. However the hours are limited. I shall be teaching trombone lessons as soon as the school year starts! Just need to figure out how to get that job in to my tax report.

[Whon]

Oh come on everyone knows that donating plasma is the college level job...

[Exo-Slayer]

Im starting a new job Monday so pretty soon I think I can donate some money.

[Joelius]

I start school soon so I will be buying blow-pops from Sun on a daily basis. http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

I tried to get a job at Best-Buy yesterday and I filled out an application....they said they can't hire me until October b/c 1)Not 16 yet (will be Sept 25) and 2) they don't need my help until then. So I will start working at best buy in a month. When I do I will def have some extra cash b/c I can work all the hours I want (being so close to Christmas.)

[Kaiine]

Ok, thanks for trying guys. I know you're all doing what you can. But those of you that can actually donate...well, it's that time of month again.

Either PM me for my snail mail address, or send payments to 'elite@toj.cc'.

God bless...

[rizz]

ahh it comes round so fast

[LionOfJudah]

we still good elite?

[Kaiine]

Ok, we got a good donation last month, but I'd like to continue having donations come in so that we don't fall short in the future.

So, with that in mind, please send all your donations to: donations@toj.cc or myself: elite@toj.cc.

If you need snail mail options, then email or PM or IM me and I'll give you my address.

Thanks for saving the server - you know who you are!

[Exo-Slayer]

pmed you.

LoL..

is there any where we can send like quarters or somethin? i mean in cash lol, im still a highskooler with out a credit card, so thats like my only option http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Whon]

I wouldn't suggest sending cash... if you wish to help have someone (family member/ friend) with a check book cut Elite a check and you give them the cash... then send the check that way it's less likely to get "lost" in the mail.

First of all..

If i asked my mom to get a check, she'll ask me why. I'd have to say i'm sending it to Elite. Whos elite? he's a guy from ToJ, NOT TOJ AGAIN? ALBERT U GOTTA GET OUT OF THAT WEIRDO THING... etc. (i'll cut it short)

and i don't think i can ask a neighbor to get a check for me lol http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif i'l hav to wait till i go to college.

[Que Pasa]

Bank accounts are fairly easy to come by these days. If you can get your parents to get you a bank account you can get a paypal account linked to that bank account. Thats how I worked back when I was 16-17 years old. Now I'm 18 and I've got a check card :-D.

Speaking of which I just splurged for a trumpet (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2560687460) on E-Bay. d00t.

[Kaiine]

It's that time once again ladies and gentleman. Please make your donations to either:

donations@toj.cc (specify that they are for the CS server)

-or-

elite@toj.cc

Thanks for your faithfulness! God bless...

[Flashon]

Is there ANY other ways we can send money besidse using paypal? Me don't hav credit card http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Kaiine]

Or - just private message me and I'll send you my snail mail address...


Thanks!

[Gods_Peon]

I've been using the server alot lately. Not a problem. I'll send some money tonight. I can only send in Canadian dollars though.

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Merry Christmas Elite http://www.cgalliance.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Que Pasa]

Canadian dollars? Aren't those a bit like the tickets you get at arcades and redeem for prizes?

[Gods_Peon]

ouch Que Pasa. ouch.

LOL...earlier this year I'd agree. Except last time I checked we were at about 75% of the USD. Compared to just over 60% earlier this year.

[TastyWheat]

Yeah, I was in New Brunswick over [U.S.] Thanksgiving and was saddened that my money wasn't quite worth what I'd thought it would be...

[Kaiine]

Ok, dudes...it's about that time again. The server has been kicking and extremely busy so, please search deep and wide for those donations!

I wanted to thank those who have been faithful in their donations, I know the Lord will bless you for it!

Please send donations either to: donations@toj.cc or elite@toj.cc via PayPal. If you send it to the 'donations' address please let Cory (Thad) know it's for the CS server. Again, if you need to snail mail it, PM me and I'll give you my address.

Thanks!

GG

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

aye, lets see what i can scrounge up...I spent to much on my comp...Ill try and work saturday so i can donate.

[Gods_Peon]

I have a rather silly question...about how much is the ToJ server costing annually?

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

80 a month /me thinks. So thats *does math* $960 a year.

[Zealot]

/me thinks we could find cheaper servers somewhere..

[Plankeye]

If you check out server prices, laggyservers is pretty cheap when it comes to gaming servers. Although you may find some kid running a cheaper priced server where you can order it of his geocities website. I doubt it will have the features or reliability our current server host has.

Don't worry; we are always looking to make sure we have a good setup. Also, the more donations, the more player slots we can put on a server and the less burden on Elite to make sure it gets paid every month out of his own pocket. Think about this, right now, the $70 we pay is for a shared server that is running other games on it. For $140, we could have our own gaming server were we could host several games off it. Think about having Tribe of Judah CS, DOD and NS servers. Think about all the more fellow Christian and non-Christian gamers we could reach.

But you are probably saying "Plank, I would help out" but "I am just a kid" or "I have just enough to pay the bills each month". That is understandable. We are all in different financial situations. But I will ask this off you, what can you do to help bring others in that may be able to help financially? Do you tell your friends and coworkers about us? Are you creative and could help out with the Promotional Materials ( http://www.cgalliance.org/cgi-bin....63&t=22 (http://www.cgalliance.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST&f=63&t=22) )? When we do get Promotional Materials, would you being willing to help disperse them at Church and in your local neighborhood? Those are all ways that are just as important as those that actually make donations.

And, don't forget the great job everyone already does for this community. It’s the relationships we build here and the people that are prayed for and mentored too that matter the most. Getting to frag Z is just an added bonus (Just joking Z).

So, lets keep up the good work. Prayerfully consider where you may be able to help out and always, lets have fun.

So until more money starts rolling in or someone offers up a spare t1 to host off of, we will probably continue to stay with our current server.

[Tek7 (Legacy)]

*boggles* ...Yeh! What he said! *cheers Plankeye on*

Also, I just wanted to mention the Sponsor Information Package Project (again). If you would like to help Tribe of Judah court church, ministry, and corporate sponsors, e-mail LionOfJudah at Lion0fJudah AT hotmail DOT com Compiling the S.I.P. is an epic project and not to be handled by one person alone, so contact LoJ to find out how you can lend a hand!

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Yeah we could really use a finacial sponsor. This summer Imma try to donate some big bux til you guys get on your feet.

[Kaiine]

Thanks Plankeye, for the information. Maybe we should pin that somewhere, like recompile it, etc?

Anyways, the server costs $68 per month. I usually try and pay $70 everytime because we've had to skip a few months here and there. LaggyServers is great, and the customer service is very timely. I think it's really only guy running it? Anyways, ya, I really like them.

[ToJ | Dead_Aim]

Yeah Aaron is great. I took the time to get to know him. Its one guy who does the the business on the side. He is the only employ and builds his own servers. I find him highly dependable and very fast with personal service. He lives in Birmingham Alabama and his help # is the area code in Atlanta so its easy for me to reach him and its not long distance!
