Hey Tom -- any new takers?

Tom Coates

10:39 / 19.11.01

There have been a few recent signers up - thanks kids. I'll be doing a kind of audit shortly.

We're doing really well guys. We're approaching $100 worth of contributions a month via subscriptions, which is only $30 short of the monthly fee for the high volume account (although we're still quite a way short of the money required to get us our own server). Individual donations are also doing very well. Thanks guys...

Tom, can I appologise for posting absolute shitloads of self-indulgent wanky crap and yet being too young to pay. Sorry. I'll gime some money to someone on the 15ht to pay for stuff.

God knows what i would do if i couldn't whine at you. I might have to, like, sort the problems out. Or something.

Hush

Just been e-mailed by pay pal indicating I am not actually paying.

I thought I was. And I will be. Sorry for the holdup.

I hate paypal.

I hate it too. And more pressingly, it hates me. Everytime I try to sign up it finds something new to attack me with..

I have no credit card or debit card. Or cheque guarantee card. For good reason. However, I can afford to pay more than most of these ne'er-do-wells, rent boys and common harlot-street-trash-gutter-children can. So tell me how to send you my money, or I'll do my Captain Caveman impression at you at the next meet.

Tom Coates

14:18 / 04.12.01

I'm still at a loss to decide whether or not Paypal is crap or Barbelith is a techno-illiterate pseudo-anarchist commune...

I havent been billed in a while...doesnt it come out automatically?

Tom Coates

09:33 / 05.12.01

Yup. Should come out completely automatically.

09:33 / 05.12.01

you may well have looked into this already, but nochexallows you to pay money in a similar way to paypal, but using switch/solo cards in the UK. They only do one off payments, though, by the looks of it...

Regrettable Juvenilia

09:33 / 05.12.01

Aha! If that works, it would enable me and a whole bunch of others to send money quite easily...

Solo? I can do Solo... already gave some to Lozt, but get paid again in about three weeks, so more shouldn't be a problem...

I am also lacking in Credit Cards etc...I'll be able to slip someone a few quid on the 15th...

Hush

07:28 / 07.12.01

Paypal worked! I am now a contributor.

Tom Coates

07:35 / 07.12.01

If someone wants to try sending me a NoChex donation to tom@plasticbag.org then they should feel free - although I would still prefer to keep it all at paypal as I can track it much more easily...

I realise this has been covered before, but for people who want to contribute, but don't have the monetary setup, is there anywhere to send a cheque, or preferably cash?

A P.O. box setup for 1 month could get a surprisng amount from us non-credit debit card types.

Jack The Bodiless

09:08 / 13.12.01

Yes. A surprising amount. Fr'instance, I get paid on the 19th, and will have a large amount of money, and was thinking of contributing around £40, bearing mind that I've not been able to contribute so far. Please help me. I'll make it worth your while...

And I do wonder to what extent the method of payment is a deterrent.

As I said in my email yesterday (sorry, I was in a hurry & I forgot to put the subject at the top), I think that a postalbox address for cheques would be a workable alternative for folk like me who don't have/want to have credit cards.

Have credit card - but I won't use it on the net. Cheque would be good for me too.

I have managed to do a damn fine impression of a conduit for any UK-Barbelithers who wanted to send money on to Tom but couldn't do the Paypal thing.

Naked Flame

16:03 / 13.12.01

Stoatie- re the solo thing- solo isn't much use on the net cos it's UK-specific and requires the cardholder to be there in person in order for the transaction to authorise. Which kinda sucks.

otoh, I should probably use one to stop me spending money on the net.

Lotz are you going to be at either of the christmas pub things? Could you remind us to give you some money to pass onto tom.
Cheers

Our Lady of The Two Towers

16:06 / 14.12.01

Unfortunately I am now unlikely to be at either of the Christmas get-togethers. Send me a Private Message and we'll try and work out an alternative arrangement.

Tom Coates

10:25 / 15.12.01

When are they again?

Regrettable Juvenilia

16:17 / 16.12.01

One was yesterday, the other is this coming Saturday (the 22nd).

Tom Coates

22:07 / 16.12.01

Arse - I'm not going to be able to make either. But I would love to come to one early in (or at) the New Year...

NotBlue

15:58 / 27.12.01

PLEASE, set up a P.O fucking box, or have a delegate from Scotland collect and come down, somebody volunteer and I will give the the cash. I "lurk" mostly, (and I hate that fucking word and all it implies), but I want to contribute, last I heard it was about $130 for running b'lith for a month. I could, and am willing to fund a month.

Honestly, I want to help.

Are u Grant Morrison? Fuck off you're not welcome.

And shut the door behind you.

Exactly the words that spring to my lips every time you post, Knowledge.

bitchiekittie

22:07 / 27.12.01

er, telling people to fuck off is not the best way to get the bills paid, knowledge

Tom, how does one do a NoChex donation? I'm having a helluva time with PayPal and my debit card.
