Ok, here's the trick

Just found the referral link for my addy.
http://secure.paypal.com/refer/pal=lord__demios%40yahoo.com

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO IS GIVING THIS A SHOT!!!!

We all remember http://www.paypal.com and how they are like online credit cards for people. Well they have some very nice little promotions. Like the fact that when you sign up you will get 5 dollars free in your account, well the coolest part is that if you do a referral then that person will get 5 dollars also.

Thanks for your help and I hope we can get this system rocking.

Just out of curiosity, could you post some information on the gamebox? Like connection, proposed stats, etc? Anticipated date for completion?

BTW, send me a private message with an address, so maybe I can send you something.

You want my Dualeron?!?

/me looks longingly at his beloved Dualeron sitting in the corner running UT Full and RC5 Stats!

Sigh, with the heat it generates, I probably need the money just to pay the cooling bill this month.

Sure thing, The proposed date with current hardware is by this friday I hope to have most of it done and it online for testing, (It would be through my cable modem at the time)

The stats of the current box are:

P-2 300
196 megs of ram (1 x 128meg PC-133 (donated) 2x32meg PC-100 (on loan)
10 GIG Ultra DMA 66 WD Hard drive
Server case with custom AC(power not air cond.) cooling duct for dedicated CPU cooling

D-link 10/100 nic
3Dfx (2d/3d) Video card

The connection for the box is an OC-12, I have from a friend his Co-locate for a local ISP, this is a 400 a month for the physical box and 100 dollars a month for a 64K/sec bandwidth, He is giving me his space for free, and no limit on the bandwidth unless we start using to much, (Which we shouldn't be)

It also has a pool of 40 dollars to buy hardware, I need to get this machine up to 256 meg's of PC-133 ram (or maybe some PC-100) and a dual CPU system. Jator has offered his 550 Mhz dual CPU box for 250. I would like to get this for the game server. Most of the older members remember how I ran 3 game servers before, on T3 access for nothing, it was a service I wanted to do for the team. But I no-longer work at that location, so a new solution needed to be found.

It will run UT, Q3, and many many other games, all controllable by my web interface that I made (ask the old users, it was pretty cool. :) )

Any other questions?

Only 64K/s on an OC12? Oh well, that's enough bandwidth for roughly 16 players to have a good lag free game, so its definitely enough ;).

I wasn't very clear, I have no limit on the bandwidth, but if we start using too much, then a limit will be made. But, the 3 game servers I ran before never had enough usage to be noticed. I am confident that we will have more then enough bandwidth. :)

Bump Up, and also a thanks to all who have tried this!!

It shows 2 completed referrals and 4 in process. I think to complete it you do need to enter a card number or some other account. I have used this service, and as far as I know, it's worth it!!

Thanks again!!

MadMerc, if you can't send money through paypal, or you are having trouble, then snail mail is just fine. To do it the address is:

Attention: LD Project 2.0
2811 Brookburn rd
SLC UT, 84109 USA

The reason I posted the PayPal was to see if it would help others in sending money, or help by getting 5 dollars for every person. Right now I have 15 bucks from paypal, and 4 pending referrals. A little bit more and we will soon be able to buy the goods from Jator. :)

Bump Up and also.

It looks like you do need to register a bank/cc number with paypal for the referral to go through. I show 5 pending referrals that will donate 5 dollars each to the project. Please make sure you do the second part if you have helped. Thanks again for all of the help, and I shall soon have pictures of the box.!
