is anyone else ready to throw $10 to the tribe monthly? we need it otherwise, we’ll get shut down.
I’ll pledge $80 a month. I can do that. But $10/mo is better. will you donate?
namaste - to all of you. The Tribe is worth it, no?

if you are in, send $10 to endub21@thetribalunderground.net, vai paypal. we’re taking this shit to the big time.
please. we want to colocate.
make it happen.
i love you all.

This is perhaps rushing things a bit too much.
However, it is not an issue that should be completely vanquished from the mind.
April 28th, 2005 at 10:02 pm
true. true.
April 28th, 2005 at 10:03 pm
For real? That’s some crazy shit.
April 28th, 2005 at 10:08 pm
crazy, yes. upon us, yes. we may need to pay for extracurricluar activities soon, tho…

samuel, you should post your cell #. Nights like this almost warrant it.
April 28th, 2005 at 10:12 pm
or just email it to endub21@thetribalunderground.net.

are we really out of bandwidth? what would the $80 be for?
April 28th, 2005 at 11:20 pm
i don’t think i’m drunk enough for this conversation.

We’re not out of bandwidth, yet. The only thing I’m worried about is as the popularity of the blogs grow, someone might someday post something that gets a whole surge of links really fast, and piss off our provider who would then bring the boot down.
We’re just panning ahead. The $80/month would be for our server colocation fee. It would take our bandwidth up to like 20GB’s a month, of extremely, extremely high speed bandwidth. The server would be located in a locked cabinet in Boston.
But it’s not really something I’m going to worry about for quite a while…unless, like I said, our bandwidth usage goes through the roof all of a sudden.
April 29th, 2005 at 10:13 am
well, if it should come to that, i’m down. i’ve got $10 a month that i’m not using.
April 29th, 2005 at 1:19 pm
Just to reiterate, Endub got hammered and posted this last night, but I wish he hadn’t.
I don’t want anyone freaking out. We don’t have any bandwidth problems, we were just discussing plans for future expansion if/when the necessity arrises.
So I appreciate anyone who feels they would liek to donate, but we’re accepting donations yet, and likely won’t for quite some time.
Unless of course someone accidently writes the next big internet fad on their blog and blows us out of the water over night.
April 29th, 2005 at 1:21 pm
I’m burned out. In the second to last paragraph of that post I meant to say we’re *NOT* accepting donations yet.
Nobody worry. We’re fine. Endub was hammered and jumped the gun.

it was supposed to sound way more hypothetical…
April 30th, 2005 at 8:59 pm
I’m sure it was. It does kinda look like “OH MY GOD MY FUCKING HAIR IS ON FIRE!” kinda hypothetical reading it in retrospect though.
May 1st, 2005 at 1:00 am
yeah, it does kinda look like that. I was fux0red. What can you do?
May 1st, 2005 at 1:08 am
but it does also shadow the feelings I have about “$50K or the kitty gets it” and such. Especially when I actually solicit donations in the reply.
May 1st, 2005 at 8:31 am
What i look forward to, as much as keeping the site running at all, is how TOTALLY FREAKING FASTS IT WILL BE. The bandwidth will be THE POWER…..mmm…THE POWER.
May 3rd, 2005 at 6:02 am
you just let us know when we can start sending money so that we can have THE POWER.
