I thought CF had an NPO, Loh Enterprises? You're right though, I forgot Thrivent was a Lutheran org., but there are others. Also, they'll double any fundraising if Thrivent members are involved, and there's got to be at least a few on CF. Thrivent gives to NPR as well, so I think it might be at least worth looking in to.anemone said:Thrivent is for Lutherans, but it's worth a try. I think CF would have to be a non-profit organization to qualify.
dual core opterons... opterons as in multiple... scsi...Erwin said:Mmm... I'm planning to stick to SCSI drives rather than SATA Raptors so I may still be upgrading to Dual Processor/Dual Core Opterons but sticking with the current datacenter... if they give me a good price. We shall see what happens...
Be very careful here, Erwin. Dual-core technology is very much in it's infancy. Intel's long range plans call for 18-core chips to be on the market by mid-2007. Which is to say, that if Intel pulls off what the bigwigs at thier company think they can do, dual-core CPU's are going to be very expensive space heaters within a couple years.Erwin said:I'm even investigating quad dual-core opterons (8 physical CPUs!!!) ... but very pricey...
Definitely going for 15k SCSI in RAID0+1 - should be mighty fast once we do it!!!
Looks like someone donated for you!lily00 said:My Mom won't let me donate. She said I should give more to my church if I need to donate anywhere.
Love that idea!Angel4Truth said:2) For those who can and do use paypal for membership who bless others with site supporter status , I suggest that you offer the donor as well as the person being given the membership the dollar amount of blessings that come with the dollar amount they donated so they are blessed while they bless others and this also would increase donorship for the site .
For example, if jane doe blesses jonny appleseed with a 3 month site supporter status , instead of just giving the 10,000 blessings to johnny , also give jane doe who donated 10,000 blessings also .
This blesses the donor and gives added incentive for others to bless others with site supporter and those who are already site supporters blessings others would benefit as well and it supports the site and might increase donations (even though the best reason is to help support the site).
Anyway just a couple ideas ...
]Angel4Truth said:I have a couple ideas to increase donations to help offset the costs :
1)Set up a po box just for people to send money orders for donations for those of us who cannot use paypal and or/do not have access to use it but wish to donate and if need be increase membership amount accordingly to what your bank would charge to convert funds to your currency so there is no loss for you and the site is supported by more people .

It wasn't me.I rarely bless anonomously.Glad your mom came around!lily00 said:Knight4God!!!! Detective Lily is questioning you!!!Do you know anything about the mysterious donor?
Oh, and also!!!! Do you'll have a P.O box? If I could like donate a couple dollars to help outside of the site supporter thing, I definitely could. My Mom gave it a big okay!
