UD Bandwidth News. Thanks everybody! We made it! :D

[lolopimp]

I'll ask my dad if he can donate at least $25 for the site by tonight, I'm only 15 so I don't own a credit card yet, but I will help out.

[Just Myself]

Ditto to DisneyChris and lolopimp(that name makes me giggle ). Otherwise I'd contribute $10.

BTW Nedakh no offense but part of our bandwidth problems may be because of your avatar changing every five seconds(aKa avatar randomizer). Maybe you should just pick one and stick with it.

The bandwidth problems should be done, for quite some time now. This doesn't mean we should use PMs willy-nilly and to send out mass mailings, but you can use avatars and signatures as you wish.

Just to clarify, bandwidth refers to the transfer of data. Having inactive forum members and old thread doesn't necessarily mean an increase in bandwidth unless they're single-handedly drawing thousands and thousands of clicks, which I don't think they are.

If we can reach our goal, even with significant growth, there shouldn't be any costs for quite some time (except for registration renewal).

Thanks for the support!

Luke, I hope the donation I made (under amazon acct. treasurebabee)helps. I tried to give a little more than you asked for so I could cover those who might not be able to donate. I check this site first thing in the morning and many times a day. It is invaluable source for any disney fan to stay informed. I'll be in Orlando for the next two weeks at WDW and won't be able to check UD site like I normally would, so good luck with your efforts. I hope anyone who can will help to keep UD going.

Actually my avatar is hosted on my own site, so it doesn't contribute to Luke's bandwidth

I wonder if Luke takes checks. Sorry, I don't have a credit card. I'll ask my dad to donate a couple of bucks.

Or maybe my brother can help out because he has an Amazon.com account. I'll ask him too.

Ooooooohhhhhhhhh. 'So this is the tongue, and the whole cave is, the... worm.

RUN SPONGEBOB!!!!!!' <this is why we're loosing bandwidth

If Luke wants to PM me, we can work on a permanent cost-cutting soultion and allow for additional premimum content in the future. (Even new video clips and trailers)

[MickeyMouseboy]

There goes Bill again trying to take over! j/k! I wish i could donate but i got rid of all my CC!

[pleasurebay]

Hey Luke, have you considered setting up a Pay Pal donation link,
That would be an alternate and convenient way to accept donations.

[Lucylover1986]

Yeah! We finally hit 100%! Great job to everyone who donated!

[Luke]

Indeed, thanks to everyone who helped us reach the goal (or even wanted to help, but couldn't for some reason). The support is appreciated and at the very least, UltimateDisney.com should be going strong for another year!

[Starion]

Good job everyone! I was about to e-mail my brother and ask him to donate some money to the Amazon.com "UltimateDisney.com Support Page".

[deathie mouse]

Well you know, there's always next year ;P

[DisneyChris]

Hooray! Congratulations Luke! I'm so happy that UD.com has reached its goal. Keep up the good work!

[Angela]

Wish I could have helped, sorry I couldn't, not much money at the moment

Glad you made it though
