Z-man's Little Bandwidth Caveat

[Z-man]

Could not decide if this is a Friendly Corner Thing or not (move as desired)

I feel a little funny about asking something like this but I figure it cannot hurt me.

A few weeks back I mentioned that I flew way over my allotted bandwidth. I think it was the first Victory Board movie and the QLoader video that did me in but I jumped up to over 500Gigs of bandwidth in like 2 weeks. Now I have been hosted free of charge up till now but due to outside issues (and this one) the relationship has gone south and I will be moving my site to a new server.

Today I got the a bill from my current server and well... it could be worse I suppose but its almost $500. Yeah... so fortunately I think I can pay for it and cover my many other expenses but I would NEVER refuse monetary assistance in this area (i.e. GIV MONIES PLZ!! KEKEKEKKE!!!).

I feel this little Mp3 best describes what I am trying to convey ----> This Little Mp3 (http://homepage.mac.com/zvetter/.Music/11%20Save%20Our%20Bill.mp3)

Your contribution of 10, 20, 30 thousand dollars will help pay for this outrageous bill.

What does it really mean? It means that I am still gonna make movies and I am still gonna have a site up regardless of if I get a cent or not. However it does mean that if you do you get a warm fuzzy glow inside. Plus! anyone who contributes $20 or more gets a DVD of all my Movies high res. and on 1 nice little disc. Please allow for 2-3 weeks for me to get them to you but it's the least I can do.

Please send your contribution to [email protected]
Not for me, but for the children.
Thank you.

This is definatley on my list of priorities ZMan... dont worry, you'll be AGD sponsored and endorsed (For your site, not your playing skills... ;) ) and won't have to worry about it before you know it. I have to work some things out of course, all my money is going to a Scenario / Stock Class chest harness (Production run of 100)... Dont worry Z-diddy, you'll receive an MO from me sooner or later.

..Just thought I would add..

I think most AO members OWE you money, youve provided us all with a great website and great videos... 57 Views and 2 Replys.. :/.

[Blazestorm]

You should consider www.equaweb.com

I'm at 450 gigs of bandwidth this month so far... :D only costing me 10 bucks a month (it'd run you 17, they changed the plan)

Anything should be able to help

what's your paypal?

[jayloo]

Z-man, you make good quality vids and posts. Send me your paypal and Ill shoot u some $. You may also consider spreading out your hosting of vids among different sites. I will volunteer some space and/or bandwidth to you. We can chat offline if your interested.

I definitely understand the dilemma u r in. Bandwidth is the name of the game and it costs BIG $.

AGD is my favorite company but I do not believe that they will sponsor much of anything monetarily these days and in the near future.

what's your paypal?

Ha! look at that, I tell me sad tail of woe and I dont even leave a PayPal address..

If you wish to PayPal please send it to: [email protected]

Ill update the first post. No comments on the happy little audio file.. I liked it....

Thank you for your thoughts. I would like to say that NO ONE OWES me anything. Like Jayloo, I am happy to do this on my own buck and will continue to do so because I love paintball. This is not going to break me, but it did teach me an important lesson about where I should put my videos.

Again, just in case any of you were not aware, I did move all the movies that people watch over to Apple's servers that are unlimited (until or unless the kick me off ;) ). Without the videos I think my entire site is like 15MB so its looking ok there.

Jason I thank you again for the offer, but I would not feel right throwing more bandwidth your way as you already provide an invaluable service to AO FREE of charge. If anything YOU need a PayPal link on your site so that people can give back to you.

I did notice www.qloader.com has one of your videos ;)

make them pay up!

What on top of the free stuff they give me to test? heheh I can just hear that phone call...

Don't make this a big issue guys, hopefully I will be smart and never have a message like this appear again.

[Blazestorm]

Like I said, try www.equaweb.com

I've paid a flat fee of 10 bucks a month, and hit well over 450 gigs of bandwidth.

The only problems they have is if 100's of people are downloading you may crash the server (I've done it 3-4 times) but even then, they bring it back up and don't cancel my account :p

[Z-man]

Yeah I took a look at them and it looks like a pretty nice deal thank you. Crashed their server a few times did you? hehehe sounds like you are using it to the fullest.

Thank you to those who have donated so far. I usually don't list names unless people would like it as some people like to remain anonymous. I'll send each one of you an e-mail about that later tonight.

[Blazestorm]

I have been :p

Got more then my money's worth... seriously... 450 gigs of bandwidth for 10 bucks a month? :D

[Empyreal Rogue]

Speaking of that video (Which is awesome by the way), did you get a free Q-Loader T-Shirt? I want one. :(

[GT]

why not set up bit torrent links on your site?

[hAppy]

I send you as much as a boy can spare. You will have cash in a few days from [email protected]

[indulgence]

I've talked to Ken over there. I believe that I can match what he donates. GOod Luck with your problem.
