As many of you know, vBulletin is an expensive forum software. $85 per year or $160 for a lifetime license. The problem is that I can't afford a new license. I've got $5 left to live on this month.

So well, the only way we'll able to continue to use vBulletin is if you can donate some money for me to buy a license for. A couple of guys in #emulation64 suggested this idea and it never struck my mind. I was about to convert to phpBB but let's try this idea first.

How much can you donate? If you can/want to donate, you can donate to my PayPal account. More on this later. Reply to this thread please. Thanks for listening, everyone. :)

PayPal Balance: $47.15
Received Check: $31.00
---------------------------------
Total: $78.15

Excellent! I'd say we aim for the lifetime license so we don't have to worry about things like this next year. :)

Great Ogy. :)

If we can't raise $160 I'd say we go with phpBB. I think $85 is way too much money to spend every year on a forum software only. There are so many other fees I have to pay anyway that you wouldn't believe it (server fee, domain fees).

Ogy: Any chance that you could estimate an amount and let me know? You could send me a private message if you don't feel like sharing this with the rest. :)

I could donate ca. 20€...but i have no Credit card so donating could be a problem...
I've got also a question: How is the bandwidth of emulation 64 paid?

Cool. :) Thanks everyone, we're getting there. :)

Ruesselschnurps: I'm paying a set fee for the server each month, and we're allowed to transfer 400Gb/month. As for the credit card part, you could do like vampireuk said.

i'll tell you what, i'll send 20 US $ now, but if people will not donate, and the sum will still be far i'll see if i can scrape a little more...

Thanks :)

Problem is though, that to accept Credit Cards I need to upgrade my PayPal account to a Premier/Business account which means I have to pay fees on every payment I accept. But, there's an alternative. I will sign up with another PayPal account and make it a premier account with which I can accept Credit Card payments. Brilliant! :p

Ogy: I will decline the donation you just sent me and you can send to my other PayPal account instead once that's setup. OK? :)

Alright, I've changed the account on the Paypal button on the bottom. It's a premier account so I will have to pay a fee on every donation you send. Ogy: I've have denied your donation. Just send again through clicking the link at the bottom of this page. Thanks :)

Josep: Thanks :) I need the money within 9 days though. :(

I`ll donate something if I can on Friday (pay day)... assuming I can convince my brother to throw the $10/20 on his card. It was going towards a new processor/motherboard combo but this sounds a worthy and urgent cause.
