Dude I'm shocked! So your girl was the one who was looking very slightly worried by the evening's vibe?

Hi, Thanks for the link. I checked it out. Seems I'd hafta get a credit card:(

A snail-mail addy would be better. I can send American money order or cash in any currency desired. As a last resort I'd find a CC to borrow.

Why? 'Cause coding takes time. Server storage costs money... and this site is broken. I'm disabled and music is a really big part of my life. Once a month I look at my check and think... maybe I could help.:)

Its not adviced to use snail mail or so... if you can find a CC and are still willing, then thats great. Otherwise, I don't mind not getting any.

Quote from: "Squirrel Havoc"Ive wanted to donate for years, but Mister X didnt have a way, or didnt want me to, or something to do with him that kept me from doing it, thats why I never did. Now I dont have any money to donate  :(

Yeah, I scewed the pooch on that, no doubt.

I felt weird about accepting flat-out donations, so I was always trying to come up with some other ways that visitors could support the site.  The banner ads helped, since no $$ had to come from the visitors, it comes from the advertisers.  The ads don't amount to much, especially since I split the money with Olivier (even though he didn't want me to, I thought it was the right thing to do).

I then came up with the idea of the MODPlug T-Shirts, which I thought was cool since the buyer could support the site and get something in return, but interest in the shirts was low, and many people who wanted the shirts lived outside of the US, and therefore would have to pay twice the amount of the shirt just on the shipping.  That, and I had to spend a lot of time in the Post Office filling out customs forms, so it didn't work out, although I do have a bunch of shirts to wear now. ;)

The best support has come from people like LPChip and Rewbs and others who donate their time to make the site and the software better.  When the new site launches, visitors can support it by adding their music and by supporting the sponsors - I think that's the best way to go.
