Several folks have asked about making donations to geekhack to help with upkeep, hardware upgrades, etc. Personally, I'd rather provide something tangible in exchange instead of just accepting donations.
So, I came up with the idea of providing geekhack.org email addresses to members for a one-time donation of $20. These would be forwarded to any of your currently-owned email addresses. You'd have dibs on @geekhack.org, of course.
If you are interested, just send me a PM.
-
Pm sent! Great idea.
-
Could I select something else than my username, provided that no user has that username?
-
Well, I guess I could use another email addy beside the 5 - 6 ones I already have. PM sent! =P
-
Hmm... I've got plenty of Email addresses.
I'll PM you with another offer. If you sign this "Forever Geekhack, iMav" and send it along with my key order the $20 is sure to improve my kid's math grades. Your avatar scares the s*** out of him.

hahaha! Deal! :)

Sure. What I will probably do is make sure the name you use is then put on the list of unavailable GH usernames (to avoid confusion with future members).

KL@geekhack.org is working for me.
Thanks iMav!
-
definitely down for this.
-
Don't really need another email address.. But maybe you can add a paypal donation thingy in the header or footer of the site so people can just donate a few bucks? :)
-
Instead of an email address, can we get the arcade back?

That would make my wife happy. She's been bitter since the upgrade. :)

Count me in.
-
So, um, is this still going or did it die out? Because I wouldn't mind getting an e-mail address. :P

Several members have already had their @geekhack.org addresses set up.
If you are interested, send me a PM and we can get you squared away.

I sent a PM. :)
EDIT:
Got it and its working fine. Thanks!!!

iMav would be possible to use the money unspent on the Round Three to pay this service?
I'm refering to the message that tells this: You have got $21.00 in your account.

Assuming you haven't already requrested (and been paid) a refund...then sure!

I'm interested. How much space do we get? I'm on the habit of not deleting emails...

Read the first post of this thread again. :)
-
Ahh ok... I'm having a Monday.
I'll get back to you shortly :)
-
is there a guarantee that this email address will last forever?
-
I would hope that it would at least last as long as this website does...
-

Nothing that you'll get in writing. :)
Seriously though...you'll have it as long as I am capable of providing it to you. (geekhack and all my domains, etc are in my will and will be passed on to someone else competent if I meet an early death...so perhaps even longer then I can provide)
-
iMav, when will this 'donation' end? I plan to get one and throw in my support for the site, but I won't be getting any balance in Paypal until the end of June (since putting money in is expensive! damn you PP fees)..

It's open ended. I have not reason to set a deadline.

I'm open to having a "Premium" type emblem next to a users name saying they've donated or just having a header at the top of the page for a donate button.
I have no use for an e-mail and I'm sure many other people might not either.
-
Why not add some emblem to your avatar?

Hey, I don't need to be recognized when I send iMav my money. =P

Lol...well neither do I, but apparently someone does...

Minecraft I didn't much care for. Dug straight down and it took me a while to get back up to sea level.
i blew a crater into a mountain...then filled the crater back up with around 5000 boxes of tnt...which i set off... and crashed the server.
-
Is this still running? Sounds like a very cool idea :)
-
If it is im in for one
-
If it is im in for one
Me too :D
-
This is an open-ended offering. Just PM me your desired geekhack.org address (you have dibs on your GH username) and the email address you would like email forwarded to.
(the suggested donation is $20)
-
thank you very much

It is not fair
What do you mean 'It is not fair'?
It looks like we have a new member of the sub 100 IQ club.

You'll find Latvians often find themselves oppressed.
It appears so.

#1 country in Europe for sex tourism.
Just don't ask how I know that.

All setup and working. Thanks iMav!

That sorta has a neat ring to it...I may need to get it :)
Do I not get banned again for calling a minor (under 18) a homo?
-
sent iMav a email waiting on mine
-
iMav, just sent in a donation. No need for an email address, have plenty email forwards as is... I know how much hosting can cost and vBulletin's software isn't cheap. If it isn't too much, could I possibly get to add a sig at some point soon. I want to have some fun designing some 8-bit versions of a few of my KB layouts.

Raise your post count and you will be able to set up a sig.
-
Riff any member can have a sig, see profile settings to set one up.

Maybe I just wanted to donate then, and expect nothing in return ; )
Well I see it there now, but I'm really positive it wasn't there before. Perhaps because I passed 50 posts, or most likely I'm still getting use to vBulletin forums. It's a moot point now, time to get crafting a sig of my favorite KBs
-
My sig worked after 15 posts, but I already had an account for a month.
-
I'm squatting on ripster@geekhack.org
-
Can you send me the details thanks.
-
PM sent.
-
Donating would be a privilege. Pm sent.
-
Donation and PM sent. It's not clear to me whether you're actually doing the email thing, but in any case, I love this resource and am happy to help however I can.

I'm thinking of donating this Christmas, is the offer still up for grabs?

You already have that just use the advanced editor and attachments. Being able to only upload a particular attachment once is on the to-do list

We tested a couple of galleries for SMF, but most of them had some very annoying aspects and were otherwise rough around the edges. There was one that was more polished, but complicated to use. Like alaricljs said...
-
