OK, just in case anyone has missed the frontpage news in the recent problems, the council geezers have mentioned that contributions for a new JA server computer would be appreciated. It think that this is an excellent opportunity for us to put something back into the JA (I know that the Paypal link has been there since before I came, but I know that many people have a (perhaps justified) aversion to the damn thing... Just think about it...if this WAS a paid service, then you would have to factor in all the JAC/JAT/(and maybe)JAK wages, +the technical fixed costs, not to mention maintenance and additional services (TS, IRC...). Furthermore, most of us buy several games a year. Rarely do people spend as much time on a game as I have seen here...I personally would still be playing JO even if JA wasn't out, and without the Academy that would be unlikely. I have no problem spending £40 on a game if I spend this much time on it(um...$60..i think). However, like most people I did not pay the full RRP - I paid less than half that (hehe ). I therefore think of this as saved money.From where I am sat, I can see a 5 pound note (7 dollars-ish...silly americans ) on my table. What would I spend this on? My course? LMAO . Food? Possibly. Booze? More likely. All of these are important, but like most people I overspend on all of these.I sometimes choose to get new copies of books rather than wait for 2nd hand ones to come available. I often choose Gruyere instead of Cheddar (not as oily for cooking, lol). I have no problem in blasting £30 in an evening...and I'm nowhere as near as bad as most students .(plus, on a personal note, I may be raking in the money from Badminton coaching in a few months  )I have therefore decided to 'pledge' (LOL) this fiver to our resident DJ, and the services he shall provide....not those ones, Jello!. Join me, or die!!Hehe. BTW, as an aside (this bit has nothing to do with anyone else now...all blame is on me, and this is why I started this thread...), I think that this is an excellent opportunity to send DJ Sith, and by extension the whole JA, some pressies!! Have you got some tat that you're sure he'd appreciate? Have you got a picture of your ex-GF that you just GOTTA get rid of? Have you got an incense-infused candle from the deepest depths of Bristol? Or even (gasp!!) have you got something JA related? Can you make a memoribilia pot for the JA (he could always give it away as a prize!!)? A JA-inspired-tune? Post your ideas, or simply say 'I'm gonna pledge, and send tat!' if you wanna keep it a surprise. BIG FAT IMPORTANT NOTE!!! - As DJ so rightfully pointed out, not all of us are capable of pledging at this time (not all of you will agree with it, either, and you may have some good reason). IF YOU CAN'T - DON'T...No-one will think less of you, by any means. However, don't let this be an excuse. Just send DJ a mail (ooh look at the bottom of most JA pages!! YELLOW WRITING!!!) if you wanna learn more..he's the man (I only heard about it, and thought a thread'd be a good idea...) _______________ Brother to HW and Kyp Durron, padawan of the almiiiighty NFF.

i was just getting curious, so i thought i'd ask where we are on this issue? i thought i read somewhere that new server stuff was being installed. i hate waiting around the server by myself because everyone is afraid of the lag-montster! this issue seems to be dampening the server side bonding that takes place here in the JA  _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it!

Khalek, have you noticed that every post you make ends with "PLEDGE ME UP KHALEK"? As it is in your signature, and each of your posts passes the funkology test... I'm afraid you'll have to pay out £314.50! |

WTF!! It's DJ that put forward this plan...andDJ that's buying the stuff now...it's DJ that'll set the thing up...it's the JACs that'll sort it out.... Give them a round of applause...not me. Or if not, give it to yourselves...we've done what most websites can't...supported ourselves... That's worth recognising in itself. LOL, I haven't even contributed yet...guess the evil paypal will have to be used EDIT:// However...the pledge amount is now £2.00!!

A big round of applause for Khalek! DJ tells me he has ordered the parts for the new web server... This means soon enough we will seperate the site from the game servers, hopefully eliminating the lag on both ends. Another week or two is all we need to wait. But... Just in case we should need to buy another server to host our game servers... PLEDGE ME UP KHALEK!! |
