OK People - Listen Up - we need some help here!

[el Guapo]

If you'll look at the tote board it seems as if the pledge drive has petered out. That is just sad. How much do we each spend on our APA dues? What do we get? A magazine and more dues, that’s it.

Here at Cyburbia we get great commentary on current events in our field, we see planners in love with their craft, we learn acceptance of others, we get some insight in to the struggles others have endured, we get good planning tid bits, and we get a place to vent when the day has just sucked.

Dan, through Cyburbia, offers us genuine handcrafted html that rivals professional web sites. Here at Cyburbia we get a place to load our photos, we get a compendium of planning resources, and we get howlingly inappropriate commentary from some very bright people. This is a good place, a special place. The burden of keeping the lights on should not fall on the shoulders of one man.

If you were to donate $25 that comes to less than 7 cents a day. You don't find values like that anywhere else in this world. So, can we all give the home Dan has built for wayward planners one more deep dig into our personal finances for the Gipper (Dan)?

Let’s each pay our fair share.

 

[Wulf9]

The check is in the mail.

Okay, the check will be in the mail tomorrow.

 

[nerudite]

You have the best timing! Payday tomorrow with retroactive pay increase! Mmmmmm... COLA.

 

[Planderella]

Okay now......who donated the $.02???????

 

[Habanero]

hey, they were just giving their $0.02! Do the amazon sales go into that figure above? I bought a few books last week off of this link, so that could be where it came from.

 

[Jessie-J]

I'm a poor college student..... I'd be willing to barter! I'd love to help out somehow! I love this site!

I have been telling friends and aquaintances about the site...

 

[H]

Sent my 25 bucks last week.

 

[Bullwinkle]

I pitched in $20 this morning.

 

[SW MI Planner]

Sent my check last week. Tried to use paypal, but had to practically donate a liver to try and get them to switch from my maiden name to my married name.

 

[BKM]

I know I need to send my pledge in. It really is in the mail this paycheck.

 

[Chet]

Sent my check last week. Tried to use paypal, but had to practically donate a liver to try and get them to switch from my maiden name to my married name.

Damn paypal is giving me fits too. Tried to update address andn credit card info and now I have to wait till my next statement comes to get a confirmation code, go back, reenter, grrrr.

EDIT: Finally got 'er up and going. My pledge should be in your hands Dan! (dunno if paypal attached my name or just my hotmail email account).

 

[The Irish One]

looks like the money is slowly but surely coming along. But don't expect anything from me -I'm a cheap bastard.

 

[Suburb Repairman]

poor & starving in Texas

I'm a poor, starving college student in Texas, but this site is well worth a couple of pizzas! I'll be sending a check next payday! Heck, my APA dues may become my Cyburbia support payment. Cyburbia is more useful & fun anyway!

 

[JNA]

paid my 10 %

 

[LouisvilleSlugger]

[giff57]

You should have my cash by now....

 

[PlannerGirl]

got another infusion of money from me last week

 

[Belle]

Sent my humble contribution this morning...

No, really, the check IS in the mail....

 

[michaelskis]

What happened with the Amazon thing? I too spent money on Death and Life of Great American Cities, and Suburban Nation.

I will see if I can send something in when I next get paid.

 

[Chet]

What happened with the Amazon thing?

If I recall, it makes about $22 a quarter

 

[Jen]

cha ching cha ching

Just sent in my contribution!

 

[BKM]

Although I am not in the Double (or Triple) CLube , I do "post too much," so I'll send in another check.

 

[Plannerbabs]

Guess it's time to get one of those nifty travel mugs I've been hankerin' towards. Do those count?

 

[Dan]

I'll admit to being lazy with updating the amount . I'll do it tonight ... sorry.

 

[donk]

Just bought 2 books from amazon via the link.

 

[PlannerGirl]

I got a book on the site last week

im a bibliophile (is that a word?)

 

[plankton]

I donated $11.06 to Cyburbia over the weekend (8/10/03). It hasn't shown up on the "Donations June to Present" yet.

Did you receive it?

PayPal has confirmed the payment on my end.

PM me if you have any questions.

 

[Cardinal]

I got a book on the site last week

im a bibliophile (is that a word?)

Me too!

 

[j_deuce]

Yeah, i put my 10 bucks in last week (paypal), and it hasn't shown up either.....

 

[simulcra]

hey, is the current donation level going to updated anytime soon? and when must this goal be met by? and how exactly do amazon.com-partnered purchases factor in?

 

[Big Easy King]

I checked my finances and I'm pretty sure that I can afford to send $0.10...NOT!

 

[Gedunker]

I chipped in to save a little of the hotlinking. Dan, you should have my check on Wednesday if the PO still delivers.

 

[SkeLeton]

I'll see if I can get my parents to buy me anything from the cyburbia store or something for christmas... beyond that I can't help much... I gots no credit card!

 

[el Guapo]

DUDE!

Hey man! I just realized I owe you $25 of my $50 pledge. Didn''t I promise you $25 in September? My.....wait for it......bad. I'll get the cash somehow. Anybody need plasma?

 

[Gedunker]

Update?

Oh, great Dan-O, we know how busy you are . . . ruling Cuburbia.
But when will the Donations be updated?

 

[Mary]

I sent a check he should have it by now. We'll have to wait for the update.

 

[BiteMeElmo]

Yeah, I do...I'm building a flat-screen TV.

 

[The Irish One]

How long has the cash-o-meter been stuck at $688.94?

 

[SkeLeton]

a month easy... if not two...

 

[The Irish One]

Have people stopped investing in this stock or has Dan lagged on the meter?

 

[Tranplanner]

Yes, I think it's been a while since the pledge-o-meter was last updated.

 

[The Irish One]

What's the word Dan-o?

I'm thinking $778.49

 

[Kathie_WE]

Ok all you poor grad students... I just sent in my pay pal contribution. It was easy and painless. Now its your turn.

None of us student have $$$ -- especially if you're an older returning student with a mortgage, car payments, and other debts. Consider it part of your book & supply costs ... that's how I'm going to justify to my hubby anyway.

Consider this a challenge like they do on radio fundraising drives.....

 

[The Irish One]

On behalf of Cyburbia, thank you very much Kathie_WE

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Hey Dan, how much is left on the meter?

 

[el Guapo]

Dan before you leave God's Domain we need to cut you a check!

 

[nerudite]

Wow... I'm really impressed that we all chipped in and met the funding goal. Good work everyone! You rock!

 

[Jeff]

Wow... I'm really impressed that we all chipped in and met the funding goal. Good work everyone! You rock!

.....and now onto other things. I need a new bike for next season.

 

[The Irish One]

What a kick ass bunch this site has.

 

[SGB]

Damn, we're good!
