I wish he would change his policy and accept donations. I mean bbzzdd being free and all is a very nice and noble thing to do, but what use is it if it's always down?
I like the idea of bbzzdd, he needs to change his policy and accept donations. I for one would be happy to donate.
I think 50 is excessive, judging from the ATOT threads I'd say it's around 10? I could be wrong.
If the donations brought in a constant $60/mo that would be enough for a VPS with 20GB disk space and 300GB bandwidth.
Mad props to
DeviousTrap of
Telnap Internet Services for hosting bbzzdd.com for
FREE :thumbsup:
I think $60 per month would be easy to attain. If it would increase the reliability of the site I'm all for it. I'll put my money where my mouth is for a good cause.
Just curious, why is it so important to you? I'm sure that
Chris (owner of pics.bbzzdd.com) would be interested in hearing your suggestions. If there was enough demand he might consider implementing a Paypal donation link.
If it's for your own image gallery hosting you can easily do that for under $20/yr. If you have any other questions please feel free to call me at the number in my sig, 503-608-7655.

It's important to me for reasons some people may not understand. I will attempt to explain the best way I can.
There is so much bad shit going on in this world. Whenever something good happens, or someone does something nice, it makes me happy. I like nice people. Whenever anyone does a good dead, even if it doesn't affect me personally, I appreciate the deed regardless and try to reciprocate whenever possible. I think this world needs more of that.
Like for example, a few months ago I was asked to donate for the Boston Breast Cancer Walk in August, I donated and was so touched, I decided to do the walk for myself.
I've given stuff away right here on ATOT for a good cause. For example last year I gave Goosemaster a Nintendo Gamecube after he posted about how he promised 3 young kids a Gamecube and could no longer afford it.
I don't know man, I just like being nice and doing things to make other people happy, as well as reward people who stuck their own neck out for a good cause. I think of those kids playing that Gamecube and it makes me happy.
What does this have to do with bbzzdd you ask?!
I don't need an image gallery or anything really. In fact I've only uploaded one batch of pics to bbzzdd in over 2 years. I just appreciate the fact that Chris and DeviousTrap are doing this, they don't have to be doing this, but they are.
This is why I would like to donate. Not for any personal reasons, rather just to reward a good deed with another.
Phew, this reply turned into something bigger than I thought it would.
I hope you can understand why it's important to me.
