# who'se got a secure server ...
... and could collect money for a b3ta appeal? And wouldn't run off with it? (I'd love to use amazon, but you need a US credit card... and I can't ever get paypal to work.)

# Never

Email me yer address and i'll pop a cheque in the post, mr. Rob.

# Do you think it'll be ok ...
... if I simply ask for cheques to be sent to my address via the newsletter?

# well

# Do you really

(I helped save b3ta! Lumpbucket tekcubpmuL, Fri 15 Mar 2002, 8:56, archived)
# hmm ...

# why not..
get yourself a P.O. Box

# me pay for woo & yay
How about the irony of using an old fashioned PO Box number for cheques? For the amount of woo and yays you've given me, you'd get a fiver in return.

# how much needs to
be raised?

# 1 Million quid
er... 2 or 3k should but enough bandwidth for a year.

# I opened a fresserve
£13-99/month AnyTime account yesterday. It has only 30 MB storage but unlimited bandwidth according to their help.

# Yes, but
can you use PHP on it?
(I helped save b3ta! Lumpbucket tekcubpmuL, Fri 15 Mar 2002, 9:17, archived)
# php and mysql
this is a heavy databased site, and shifts comparable bandwidth to fhm.com

# out of interest
have you tried approaching specific companies regarding banner ads?

Pay per click through ones are pointless, but you have a specific audience, which you'd have thought some companies would be willing to pay to reach.
(I helped save b3ta! monkeon schmonkeon, Fri 15 Mar 2002, 9:18, archived)
# No!
Keep B3ta banner free! I'm prepared to donate to keep it that way, too!
(I helped save b3ta! Lumpbucket tekcubpmuL, Fri 15 Mar 2002, 9:24, archived)
# Try commission junction
www.cj.com

Are quite good for targetted ads, but you need a lot of hits to get any kind of return. Luckilly, b3ta has just that.

# just out of interest
how much bandwidth does the site use per month? (or per year)

# I CAN GET SECURE SPACE!!
i have access to secure servers (thats the beauty of working for a hosting company!)

However, how are you gonna process the credit card numbers once you have them?

# Oh yes
I want to see if b3tans can move as well as their GIFs. 1..2..3..4..sashay!

# err... I know how to organise good websites ...
... not parties. Anyway, the problem with that is (um, and I do speak from experience) that you charge £5 on the door, and make £10-£50 per head for the people who run the bar.

# Well
it should be done because its a good idea, even if it doesn't really help keep B3ta going all that much...

# I'm sure Nacho could run it at snakemountain
and we could all drink cans of stella.

She'd be delighted to see us all I'm sure.

AW how big is your garden?

# Charidee party!
Yeah!
Failing that, I'd send a cheque. How much, and who to?
If 300 of us chip in a tenner each, we're away.. and I'd pay my tenner to keep this place going, oh yes.
