EKCO Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hey guys, The forum reserves only have about a month left in it before we will absolutely have to switch forum service providers. We have two options going forward: 1) Switch to an alternative, less robust service. 2) Continue to rely on community contributions to keep this work going. Based on how the account fares in the next month, a decision will be made near the end of January. If you would like to afford future game designers the opportunity to work on Aeon of Storms on this service, please donate. An alternative solution would be to get assistance in transferring forum content to another service. If you know any web developers interested in helping with a content transfer, please let me know. Thanks, and have a Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Hey Ekco, If I may ask, approximately how much does our forum upkeep cost monthly? Edited January 8, 2017 by Jessika Dafuq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafuq Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Also, is this system below dead now? DONATE USING THE LINK BELOW: 100% of your donations are used to upgrade and maintain the forums and chat server. When Donating: - Include your forum email or account in the donation message. - If you haven't recieved your forum rank yet, send us a PM reminding us to check for you. Include your email. - Tell us why you're donating. Donation tiers: 10$ - "+1 Donor" forum rank. 25$ - "+2 Donor" forum rank. 50$ - "+3 Donor" forum rank. 99$ - "+4 Donor" forum rank. 1000$ - If you ever come to Connecticut or New York, I will bake you a f@$king cake. For every 4$ donated, you can reserve a private channel for you and you friends on our mumble server for 1 month. Compared to renting it on your own, Mumble would charge you about 6$/mo.

EKCO Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 No, it still works. $20 - 30 per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceSpade Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) No, it still works. $20 - 30 per month. Does it mean that If I sell your cake at Ebay for 2k$ and donut 1k$ - you will make it?) Edited January 8, 2017 by Fell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCV Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I can try to transfer with some help of my friends (I have to ask first tho). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The donate link doesn't seem to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafuq Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 No, it still works. $20 - 30 per month. So if I donate $100, then will I get +4 donor badge and a private mumble channel called "Apache Feeds"? Mumble is dead now with Voice chat but wouldn't mind advertising the fact that Apache is a feeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I still can't donate. OMG EKCO TAKE MA MONAY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlantMan Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 So if I donate $100, then will I get +4 donor badge and a private mumble channel called "Apache Feeds"? Mumble is dead now with Voice chat but wouldn't mind advertising the fact that Apache is a feeder. I wish people still used Mumble. Voice chat is tedious to use and makes me alt-tab IG. It makes forming IHs easier as you can see everyone who is on. I blame certain 'bastions of IH' for letting scrubs escape mumble leading to the IH scene being very scattered.

EKCO Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Looks like paypal updated their encryption. Link fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafuq Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 OK Mr Ekco, just bought a +2 donor badge, if it works, I'll upgrade to +4 later. Don't forget that private mumble channel as advertised, I want a channel called "Apache Feeds". Adam's PC pledge of $100 still stands (once he gets a go fund me page happening). johnnytherocker and John 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZERATUL Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Probobly never, considering we are moving to discord. I guess you can get there, but its anyway all free. Edited January 17, 2017 by ZERATUL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlantMan Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Don't understand why we'd move onto a Discord server. For one who is running it? Is that person active in the community? From what I gleen the persons in charge do not play this game, have 'resigned' yet are still lingering in the background giving 'advice' in an undiplomatic fashion. Perhaps an inability to let go fuels this mission. johnnytherocker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTHER Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) I'm not in favor of moving Discord personally. For one, AoS and Mumble have been synonymous for a very long time. Functionally speaking, I felt mumble is more inviting. Maybe because it's familiar. But I'd rather we maintain the status quo with this one. If the only problem with mumble is the user cap, it'll be raised. What's next, you wanna move to reddit instead of the forums? (btw Ekco I sent you some cash. Hopefully we'll be good for a while now) Edited January 17, 2017 by MOTHER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhaleTits Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I mean, if y'all want to continue paying for mumble or make your own discord, that's entirely up to you. I won't pressure. I'd just rather there be a easy transition when mumble inevitably runs out of funds. For what it's worth, I also prefer mumble for reasons I can't quite explain... Sentimentality?

johnnytherocker Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hasn't this game helped you gain employment with Riot of all places? Put in a hundred bucks and mumble can increase in size and run another year or whatever, right? Be a gentleman and give back, manig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhaleTits Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I've been paying for mumble.... Until recently the game has been quite dead with the few in-house using blizzards own voice chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
