Help us keep BanglaCricket alive

**Mahmood** · #1 February 12, 2004, 10:53 PM

Friends,

As most of you know, BanglaCricket has grown to a state where it needs its own server. To do so, we need help from you.

If you can efford to help us, and want to, then go the main page and click on the donation button on the right bottom side.

We have found a box that will meet our needs. Go to http://www.ev1servers.net/english/bargain.asp and find the one with "Cpanel - Red Hat". That is the box we need. And as you see, it costs $119/month. Which means, we, the fans has to come up with $1428 dollars plus tax.

It is a lot of amount and there is no pressure on you to help. We have fixed an amount for donation, it is US$50. So if you can efford that, please go ahead and send it to BanglaCricket. You will need a paypal account which is easy to create. And you can use your credit card to pay.

If you want to pay more than 50 dollars, just make separate donations. If you need assistence, feel free to post here.

In return we cant give you much, other than our whole hearted appriciation to help us keeping the site running. Also, we will recognize you as a Sponsor of BanglaCricket (You member status will change to BanglaCricket Sponsor). And you have our commitment to keep this site growing which you love so much.

As soon as we reach our target, we will remove the donation option. Also, for clarity, we will keep you posted on how much who donated and where we stand on collected amount.

We thank you for your continued support.

Just received the second donation. I don't know his Board ID, but his name is Murshed Chowdhury who donated $50.00. That makes our collection $100.

We thank you whole heartedly Murshed bhai.

I am not living in US, will that be a problem registering at the paypal?

keep the site going!

Piranha · #5 February 16, 2004, 12:32 AM

Any chance of mailing a cheque?

**Mahmood** · #6 February 16, 2004, 12:42 AM

Paypal also accepts check I believe. Please try that first, or else we will go with direct mailing.

The reason we want all done through paypal is, that way we will have total clarity on the money. Both me and Tehsin has access to it and all activies will be recorded on who paid how much.

Also, many users prefer to keep account info safe. Going through the paypal payment, it secures you, as none of your credit card info or account info will be send to us other than the name and money.

Zobair · #12 February 17, 2004, 10:04 PM

**Mahmood** · #13 February 18, 2004, 10:02 AM

Ops, sorry, $350 is the total collected now.

Thanks Pompous for the correction.

**Mahmood** · #14 February 18, 2004, 10:43 PM

As per requests from some members, we have added a $20 dollar donation option.

As we still need about 1200 dollars to come up with, we hope this additional option will encourage many to help us keep this site alive.

Thanks.

Personally I would like to donate money using wire transfer from my checking account or money order or western union, instead of paypal. Is this possible?

**Mahmood** · #16 February 19, 2004, 09:26 AM

Today we have received $20 dollars from Kana-Baba. That makes our total collection $370.

We all thank Kana-Baba for the helping hand to BanglaCricket.

PS:Anyone who wanted to money order us the amount, please send the U2U, however, for clarity, it is preferred that you use Paypal as it keeps all records. Also you can use your checking account with paypal.

I have removed Shafi's comment here, as that is a breach to the agreement with google. I request all not to mention it in any post on this board and moderators should immediately delete the post if found.

Shafi · #22 February 26, 2004, 01:11 PM

Sorry I didn't know about that agreement!
