SixPackSpeak.com Board Fundraiser Question/Discussion Topic...

[dawgstudent]

With the move from Yuku, SixPack has decreased their hosting fees by at least 50% from around $3700 to $1800. Like last year, I have worked a deal if we pay in full - they will knock off one month so the total raised will need to be $1650. With that being said, we are going to do our annual board fundraiser. Any money raised over $1650 will be used towards payment the following year. It will work somewhat differently than Yuku where the money will be donated to a paypal account that I guarantee will be used in its entirety for hosting. I will make this as transparent as possible so you know I am not just pocketing the money. The nice thing about Yuku was that the money went directly to them. With this way, the money goes to my paypal account and then I will pay the hosting company. With your contributions, I feel it also gives you a vested interest in the board. Again, no money you donate will be used for personal use. It all goes towards the hosting of the message board.

Give what you can. If you can't give any, we totally understand. Honestly, if everyone that read gave $5 (I am assuming 3000 people read the board on a consistent basis), we would have more than enough to last us for many years.

Here is the link and we hope you enjoy SixPackSpeak.com. Contributions are accepted online only via Paypal.

Will the donation allow me to enter the free chat?**

 

[dawgstudent]

Chat uses java which unfortunately is now getting blocked by a lot of browsers. Chrome won't even let you use it.

Firefox gives you a warning.

Not sure what IE does.

I had sort of meaning to ask about this. I was having trouble with the site freezing when using Chrome just looking at the regular board.

It isn't any big hardship to remember to use Firefox with SixPack, but I was wondering if there were any plans on behalf of the host to upgrade to a non-flash, non-java platform?

I get the spinning beachball with Firefox. I also tried Safari with no luck.

I updated everything and still no progress. I was costing the team on Saturday night with no access. Someone must have counteracted my bad chat karma with good chat karma.**

Chat works on my tablet, which is impressive

I think when it recognizes a mobile device - it uses a different software. I stress "I think"

Firefox is the only thing that works. Not sure it will still work if I update Java, so I'm not updating it.

There's something called "Addonchat" that has to activate for it to work. I have to click a certificate or something. Hate this threat to the best game chat in the world.
