Hi all,

I've been thinking of starting a donation drive for sah, as a small token of thanks to Ron for the server as well as getting new server features implemented Smile.

I've spoken to a number of people and we have already lined up $100+.
Your contribution can be anything from $2 to $10, as the main purpose it to get as many people as possible to contribute, both to show Ron how many people appreciate the server as well as to show how many people are ready to hire a baby sitter for his kids xd.

Edit - List in the second post.

Quite a few people on the list are regular donors, but they donated again to show their interest in new features on the server.
If others are also interested, please leave a small note here and use the PayPal link on the Sah homepage to make the donation.
http://starsautohost.org/stars.htm

Think of it as a thanks for each game you have played here and imagine using the merger utility in the near future.

Thanks.

I am not sure if my donation worked - there was no screen to show anything happened and it has not appeared on my PayPal account yet. I will check tomorrow and if it has still not gone through I will try using a card.

When you make a donation is a "thank you" message supposed to appear? It didn't.

Tried again and this time it worked. Not sure what happened first time round. I never could get the hang of these electric computer things...

When I donate my remaining 5, you'll have to donate again to beat my score xD.

I almost joined you in SAS5 this past week, as a possible replacement, but then opted out because of time and other factors Very Happy.
Speaking of which, having checked the races and genned v12, we should have you check our turns on and off Wink.

I know that quite well. There was one or another game already which I would have found interesting as well. Though I would have liked the experience of playing alongside of you Wink

Ok, now you got my limited English to its limit. What do you mean by "check our turns on and off"? Embarassed

Torben

I believe he means that he wants you to check the turns "now and then" which is intermittently or at random times.
