Donating to SAS
SAS~CirX:
Hi guys
we tried this a while back and failed miserably because of the strict South African Forex Laws. After months and months of jumping through hoops, filling in forms, being inspected, extraction of DNA and blood samples, we think we are ready to try it again.
Direct link to donations page: http://www.sas1946.com/Contribute.htm
We will now (As of 28 May 2010,) be accepting all donations through PayPal. For South Africans, getting this working was a great trick, usually only reserved for bigger companies with runners and lawyers and financial departments. But after much slogging, I got it all done.
All the guys who contribute will be named and thanked here. No stealing of your bucks will happen here. We will not pull any TV evangelical BS on you like "I need $10000 by the end of the week or my children will be executed", or blackmailing you with threats of shutting down the site and such crap. Neither are we going to buy a big fat commercial server and expect you all to pick up the tab. The site will go on regardless, and while the expenses are not life threatening, I do pay them, and some help would be cool. :)
Please include in the PayPal transaction notes, your SAS screenname also, so I can know who to thank!
Q: How much money does SAS need to run?
A: We cannot say exactly. We would (and did for a long time) pay for it ourselves, so, technically nothing :D There are 3 hosts we use, one big account that runs the forum sever, and two smaller ones elsewhere that we use to store files. After last year's attacks we have learned to keep our stuff dispersed. So there may be others we cannot mention just yet. To this you can add unknown costs, for example, we are constantly outgrowing ourselves, and having to upgrade bandwith or space on servers. We are also trying to save so there is some leeway for us to make better decisions when doing these upgrades. And then there are bankcharges which is a small but noticable part, for us operating from South Africa, with it's strict forex and paypal laws.
In April we took out a Mediafire Pro Account, the only way I was able to host the UP3 static downloads ,the FBDSM and the DBW updates, before passing them on to mirrors. This has proven immensly popular, and up to mid July, we have had more than 25000 files downloaded from there, totalling an amazing 5 Terrabytes of data. Unfortunately this has come at a cost, and so I am adding $40 to the total target (even though it routinely costs 3 or 4 times that per month.)
Note for Feb 2012: I have set the montly target back to $170 from $120, as it was till Oct 2011. This is to build up out VIP account at Mediafire for the release of our Large packets of single downloads for Official Patches, DBW, FBDSM and UP3. I hope it will be enough as I think a lot of guys will want to "clean" downloads of everything. If it is not enough I shall scream and ask for more :)
S!

SAS~Le0ne:
Sorry it took a while for my donation, but someone got hold of my cardnumbers and tried to take out 1500$. Luckily Visa spotted this and stopped the transaction. It is no clear the it was not a leak from paypal that did it, so here is my monthly tribute to this fine site
