Due to increased traffic and load on our servers we need to upgrade our secondary server. It's a considerable upfront expense to set it up ($432). Would appreciate if you have not already signed up for a two dollar a month subscription or if it's possible you could make a one-time donation to help us in this upgrade. Remember your donation will make you eligible to win the Winchester 94 rifle. The winner will be announced January 31, 2001 http://gunrightsradio.com/donation/ |

You should have my $24 tonight, Mark. Gawd, Bill Gates, and PayPal willing.
Thanks for all you do.
Let us know how you are doing toward the server funding. I might be able to dig into the couch cushions or under the car seats for more....

Another way you can also help out is if you purchase anything from our store which is powered by Amazon.com. We receive 4% of your total sale and it doesn't cost you any more. Even if you find things at Amazon other than what is available in our store, we still get the 4% if you click on the link through our store. Very easy way for you to support our server upgrade while purchasing something you need. Go to http://gunrightsradio.com/store/ |

Is there an affiliate link or something. I am just thinking I am not necessarily looking for something in the store, but just wondering how to set the affiliate to the GRRN before I do an order off of Amazon for things we need hopefully the network can get some money.

OK, Mark. I made a donation. ?How do I go about entering the 94 lotto - not that I have much chance of winning, as I never win anything.

Have been doing some tests this morning with a test server with http://forum.gunrightsradio.comIf you have bookmarked this link previously, please stop using it and use the direct path http://gunrightsradio.com/forums2Still need $293 to meet the goal for the upgraded secondary server. I will continue to test for the move to an upgraded server until we meet our goal. Then I will only need enough time to move some of the sites. Most likely we will be moving the forum to the new upgraded server because it will allow us to have a 3 GB database and then we will not have to delete any old posts. We will experience some downtime during this move but it should be fairly short maybe only a couple hours. I'll post a message ahead of time when we are finally able to start it. Thank you to everyone who has been donating to the upgrade. |

Done, but 2 hours and still no receipt from PayPal. I think it subscribed AND sent you $24. Oh well, will a Cut and Paste of the transaction on PayPal do?

There's only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up and if you don't actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time. It's a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun controllers. I happen to know this from personal experience."

Check your spam folder sometimes PayPal stuff gets thrown in there. Anytime I make a purchase using PayPal I almost immediately receive a confirmation e-mail. By the time you read this I will have already sent to a confirmation for the drawing. Thanks for helping out |

Just resubscribed, apologize for the lapse. Just noticed it, I had problems with a credit card and PayPal. To fix it all auto subscriptions were cancelled, and seems I never had GRRN set back up. So I also sent you the $15 for the months I missed.

Like to thank everyone who helped out with donations for the server. For the last week I have spent a considerable amount of time testing out some different hosting companies and I think I have finally settled on one that is going to work real well. It's a little bit more expensive ($528) than I anticipated, but it will be much more flexible.
The plan is to do some extensive testing with the server for the first month just to make sure there are no bugs and then I will start moving GRRN main website & forum sometime after that. We could see as much as three days of downtime until the DNS updates all across the Internet.
