We're sorry. Neal recieved so much loot that he has retired to Bimini. Subsim will close at the end of the year.

Ah...
... so in other words now is the time to launch my coup?
I've got no spare cash at all, so couldn't have donated anything despite wanting to :cry: Would like to table one suggetion though, could the date of the fundraiser be moved outside of the main holiday season when money is already tight to begin with?
If it was done around Veteran's Day or Memorial Day (both times I think we'd all agree would be appropriate) people would have more disposable cash on hand and could potentially get a better turnout.
As both Jim and Steve have mentioned before in another thread, so you can donate at any time, :yep:

About six months of expenses. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=1557641#post1557641) Actually a little better than last year's fundraiser.
Thanks to all of you! :yeah:

That's great news!
I still think that with all the brainpower at hand here, we could create a subsim that would become the benchmark for subsims - much like Steel Beasties has done for armored combat.
I'll do the manual tech writing. Now all we need is programmers, artists, modelers, researchers, voice actors, scriptwriters, API developers... ... ... hmm...

I bought SHIII again through the link.
But how much of $8.25 is going to SubSim?
:haha:
IF many of us do that every month?
:hmmm:
It's got to add up.

I buy stuff through the link all the time, but a third copy of SH3? I think I'll just donate directly again.

Do all types of purchases apply? If I bought a blu ray box set or some other completely non-submarine related item do you get credit? With money being very tight now I don't have much disposable cash, but can pass the word along to others that do a lot more purchasing from Amazon and make sure they do it through this site. Have a few friends that routinely spend $300-$500 a month on DVD's that could potentially give a boost.

Says right there on the link: "BUYING GAMES, BOOKS, ELECTRONICS, and STUFF THROUGH THIS LINK SUPPORTS SUBSIM, THANKS!"
I have Amazon Prime (free two-day shipping) and I buy a lot of videos, plus other stuff, and always use the link.

Cool, I've give em the URL and the instructions. Hopefully it'll give a boost for the site.
