[EAST US] Tastyspleen Game Servers

[q2dude]

Hi guys.

I've got some bad news... Goodyear just went on strike.
That means that I will most likely have to use the money I make as a sysadmin for the local Wireless ISP, will have to go towards keeping my family afloat.

I live at home and was able to use my money freely, until this.

So, right now, the eastern tastyspleen server, that I pay for, is an "expendable" item.
I've just paid this month's rent -- it's good until Nov 1st.  So, if you guys want to keep the eastern server going after that time, please consider donating.

Last month, we upgraded the server to a 10Mbps unmetered port -- we are currently spending $99/mo for this server.

Note: any donations sent, wether used right away or not, will be set aside for the sole purpose of funding the server (unless you also want to help me and my family out).

Since I can't paste the HTML code for the PayPal button, go here to donate:

Current Donations: $50

I would love for east.tastyspleen.net to be able to stay up.  It currently runs tourney4 and jump, and I'd recently gotten the OK from majik to put up a third server but hadn't gotten to it yet.

If anyone can help majik that would be great.


Thanks,

Anything to support a union brother   Well,  anything to support Quake at least

Our conract is up in a year or 2 at UPS,  they are working on negotiations already,
they don't want another UPS strike.   Last one was a doozey,  and they have alot
more competition now.

My grandmother worked for goodyear  for like 30 years I think,  if not more.
and my grandfather was an engineer for them.  Designing racing tires,  and
he also came up with the method they use to test airline brakes..  or was it
airline tires???????

Replace jump with a east coast ra2 server and I'd donate. I don't play on t4 or jump... 

Best of luck to you! Hope all turns out well.

Thanks everyone.

I'm updating the first post now to show the current donations.

Also, when you donate, please specify whether or not you would like to be listed and with or without the money amount.  I think it'd be great to show who all has donated.

Updated first post to include a link to the PayPal button.
