Re: SNURK - Open a fund raiser to get the sig hosted and cover costs

@Mamajuanauk , you have kicked the ball off with a very generous offer which is impossible for me to match, but I would welcome Snurk's input on this with some costings for us to consider.

It would be a great loss for the forums if the success of the sigs were to lead to their downfall.


Coolstream - I agree if we could get some input from SNURK it would allow some more informed conversation and we would know how much we are looking at for Setup and running costs etc

SNURK - Can you provide some input please?
Is this something that would interest you?
Do you have other ideas?

Please join in...

Re: SNURK - Open a fund raiser to get the sig hosted and cover costs

Hi everyone,

First of all: The signatures are doing fine! biggrin

The reason why the signatures were gone was the same reason as a month ago. I have to log into the hosting site (heliohost.org) once a month to keep the account activated. I believe this is a fair policy, because that way heliohost can keep their servers free of old clutter. After all it's server space they offer completely free. They do send an email to notify me that the account has been de-activated, and I can simply follow a link to re-activate.

On top of that I was on holiday to Austria for the past two weeks. So that's why there was no word from me on the forums. wink

I'll try to keep the account active from now on. smile

Of course any donations are welcome. I added a donation button on the signature ranking page some time ago when it was suggested to me. I don't need any donations to cover running costs, because the whole operation is costing me 10 euro's per year. That's for the domain registration of wcgsig.com. The hosting of the content itself at Heliohost is free.

The creation, upgrading and maintenance of the signatures is, no doubt, taking quite a bit of my time, and if you feel like donating you are welcome to do so, but don't at all feel like you have to. In an environment that is all about donating for a good cause, I'll be happy to keep the signatures alive as long as I can for free.

I have been thinking once or twice about a more accessible and fun way of saying thanks, by creating my own team, so everyone who feels like it, could crunch one of two work units for my team.

Thanks for all your kind words and concerns,
nerd SNURK

If you ask me, you are doing an excellent job. Your donation of time and effort go WAY beyond what is expected (the problem is that you do such a good job tongue ). Keep up the excellent work... you have my vote of confidence applause .

Gotta keep crunching... have to help the world !!!

Dear SNURK,
I woukld like to congratulate you for your strong initiave that continues positively increasing in numbers each day more.
Despite of I don't be a member on his signature followers (I like it but it's not my way...), I saw that you get a huge attention and continues doing it just with his personal effort to became WCG forum enviroment on its posts, more beaty and challenger once many people are focused on get more levels inside yours signatures methodology invention that is amazing and very innovative.

For sure the simple and old fashioned WCG methodology of badge levels are very poor compared with the glamour and continuos dare which we found on yours signatures methodology. It's alive compared with WCG methodology...

In my humble opinion it's a very great example of innovation and catalisation of efforts that we can create here, when uniteds around a strong ideas or objectives ! Keep crunch on ! wink cool applause hugs idea coffee rose good luck peace

Cheers ! GIB@ peace coffee

Re: SNURK - Open a fund raiser to get the sig hosted and cover costs

I have a hosting site that I don't use much and I think has unlimited data. There's no url right now but I have a static IP and I'm sure we could you a dynamic dns for the forwarding if needed. I don't know how much bandwidth you need but if you're ever interested, let me know. I'm currently renewed until next January I think. I'll probably renew. It's with hostgator.
