Ok guys, I'm home from work, and was able to log into Paypal. We have not only hit the goal, but surpassed it. We're at $668.83 and only needed just under $500, and that's not even counting the extra money Scott mentioned in post #90. I am deeply grateful to all of you.

But now I've got the problem of what to do with the extra money. Since this is your money it's your choice. Here are a few ideas though:

1: Refund the excess to those who contributed after we passed the mark (I don't like this idea because it would make those who contributed later feel unloved)
2: Split up the excess and refund a portion to each person who donated
3: Talk to URLJet and see if I can buy more time with it (this is what I did last time)
4: Upgrade the forum software - this was also done last time. There is a new version of vBulletin which includes a mobile app for Android and IOS - This would mean our forum would have its very own app! I'm trying to get more info on this app though - vBulletin's website is kind of vague on that.
5: Take the extra $$ and buy new snow tires for my truck (KIDDING!)

Those are my suggestions. I do have one thing to add, though: $500 for two years of hosting seems like a lot of money, but I've looked around for other hosts and haven't found any compelling alternatives. There are plenty of hosting sites that offer lower prices, but they only advertise bandwidth (how many gigabytes/month of data) and storage space (the room for the forum software, database, attachments, etc.)

What they don't advertise is that even though this forum would come in well under their advertised storage space and bandwidth, it would use too much CPU power. Storing data and delivering it to you are simple, but processing that data takes CPU power. This is what we ran into four years ago when Godaddy pulled the plug on us - we were bogging down the server, using more than our share of CPU cycles. Another thing to consider is speed and reliability - this forum works pretty ed fast, and has suffered very little downtime since we went with URLJet. Some of our longer-term members will certainly remember how the forum used to slow to a crawl, and even preven you from logging in if there were too many other users already online. We're also able to keep just abput every feature vBulletin offers turned on (attachments, chat, inline images, signatures, etc). In short, yes, URLJet is expensive, but you pay for quality.

Let's hear your thoughts

How about electing a treasurer (like J Cassity, Vinnie, or someone trustworthy who is on this site regularly). He/she could open a bank account in the forum's name to deposit any extra money (more may keep flowing in) as a slush fund for future forum needs.
That is, if they won't let you buy more years with what extra funds you now have?

I say use the extra for the upgrade.  2 more years is great, but in 2 more years the board is going to be even further out of date.  Get 2 years AND upgrade.

Log in to pay-pal, then go to "pay or send money", then click "send money to friends or family".  For the page that opens, enter the gmail account and the amount desired to "gift".  There will be a place for a note to attach to the payment, so mention "QUICKSHIFT". ;)  Click "send", and you're done. :beer:
