Scribbld Going Invite Only For the Moment

ANY JOURNAL NOT VALIDATED BY JANUARY 4, 2008 WILL BE "SOLD" on usernames AND CANNOT BE RE-CLAIMED BY THE OWNER!

Make sure you validate your journals!

Greetings,

Our poor web server and sometimes database server is having trouble keeping up with all the new users and accounts being created. I've had to turn on invite codes for the moment and while the invite system isn't working just right yet, we'll hopefully have it up and running sometime this week.

Currently we're looking to purchase a new server, a much beefier machine. Everything is going to be purchased from NewEgg. Here are the specs:


CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4 - Retail - $154.00

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM - $69.99

Sony NEC Optiarc 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model AD-7190A - OEM - $24.99

Shuttle SG33G5M Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel Core 2 Quad / Core 2 Duo / Celeron 400 Intel G33 VFD remote control Barebone - Retail - $359.99

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Retail - $274.99

Unfortunately this costs $1000.00 and we have about $20.00. Any donations of any size are gladly accepted, we'll bump your account to paid status immediately. If you're interested in making a donation please let us know. We really want to be a nice journal server but the current server is already snapping under the load.

If you can think of any other ways to raise funds we're all ears!

Thanks everyone and Happy New Year!

Update: Wow, in the first 5 minutes there's already been a couple generous people willing to donate. I personally want to thank them and I really appreciate it. You people are a good group. I've setup donations through PayPal, just visit this link or click on the donate link on the sidebar.

Thank you so much everyone!

Update #2: Invite codes are now up and running. You may visit this page to generate some codes. Let me know how it works!

Thank you!
