Dre posted a notice in the upper left hand corner of his website saying he needs $200.00 by 2/18, or Foobonic's going to shut down.
quote:HELP!!! foobonic will shutdown due to lack of donations by 2/18/04! We need $200.00 to keep foobonic running for the next year. PLEASE DONATE.
I'm sending $10, in the memory of Sandy. If we get twenty Hatrackers to do that, Foob should be good to go.

She's not dead, unless God's playing a horribly tragic joke on me, but she hasn't posted at Hatrack for months. Nor has she IMed me -- thus, she's to blame for our total lack of communication.

Sandy and Andre (aka foobonic) broke up a while back. She removed all of her foobonic photos and stuff afterwards.
Sandy also moved out of her apartment and into a place with a bunch of new people. With work and everything else, she's just too busy for hatrack and the like.
She's still alive, dude.

A server with 50GB+ of bandwidth is not that expensive. $10/mo if you look more than a few minutes. Or free (1and1) if you scale it down a bit. Is the "foobonic" upload/display application anything fancy or something anyone can download and install?

foobonic uses Gallery, which is a fairly easy to install web app. However, foo is also a web programmer and has hacked Gallery a bit. His version runs better than most I have seen.

So I am guessing that about $65 was donated today by Hatrackers that I am aware of...but that's just a guess.

Covered if anyone tells me where to send the money. Sorry, don't even have foobonic in my Favorites. Only occassionally click into it through new links posted on Hatrack.

Don't have PayPal: never used a credit card online. Is there a physical address that I can send money to? Short of that, is there anywhere common that I could buy a prepaid PayPal card?

Why not? It's 10X safer than using one in person, and 100X safer than mailing cash
Anywho, hopes this campaign sets them up nicely for a few years of service. I would've hosted it if asked (and I'm probably not the only one), but it's nice to see the community come together in the name of silly pictures.

Sorry Icky, I just looked at the "Customers Guide to Mailing" at USPS.com and while they reccommend money orders as being safer, no where does it say that cash is illegal to mail.
Many companies that you pay your bils have to specify that they want a check or money order because occasionally people do mail cash.
And if you couldn't mail cash what would happen to the $5 that people put in birthday cards? They would all be illegal and they aren't.

I am grateful for those of you who contributed. I can never seem to afford to pledge to PBS either.
