SluSignGuy Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I have been meaning to post this for a while, so apologies for the delay. I thought with the loss a little good news was in order. The Billikens.com fundraiser was an overwhelming success. We raised over $1000 from more donors than ever before. The goal was only $500, but this means that we should be able to comfortable move over to the server capacity that we will need as the site grows (and I thank users for their patience during growing pains). After Roy's post, Donations poured in. We broke the $500 mark quickly online alone. Then checks kept hitting my mailbox. We were hovering in the mid-900s and I wanted to see if we would hit a $1000, which we did last week. Hopefully people don't mind me wanting to hit that mark. My life is quite busy at the moment. I expect to redesign the site in July and move servers again then. The front page will get a new look, forum software will be upgraded (no major cost though), and I will try to more tightly integrate some features. Thanks to the Billikens.com community, we should definitely be good for a few years before another fundraiser is needed. Billikens.com has been a great hobby of mine, and while the Metz's of the world can make it a chore at times, I am proud of the community we have here. Thanks to everyone for their generosity, and lets go win the next two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 +1 Just thanks for doing it, Steve. When you get elected Prez you gonna keep this going or assign it to an underling? Something, like Special Under Secretary for maintenance of Billikens. com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
