titan2782 is right. Most of the time that NeHe uses his dailup is probably doing something related to the site. If a friend of mine needed $10 to renew his dailup I would help him out. We should help NeHe, I have heard alot of people on these forums saying how much they appreciate his hard work and they want to do something for him in return. This is our chance, lets actually do it.

I am very inspired by a diffrent website that I recently saw ask for $8000 to improve their site and the visitors donated it in only 3 days (I don't think i should mention the sites name tho, I will probably be braking a rule). NeHe only needs $240 for his dailup, we should be able to do that no problem.

If even a small majority of us donate $1-10 dollars each it will add up very fast. (Note: I think paypal takes at least 30 cents from each transaction as their fee so don't donate 30 cents or less.)

I was going to start off by donating $10 but then I remembered that I have been wanting a NeHe CD. So I bought the NeHe CD for $25 and also sent $5 extra so he can cover the shipping + cd cost and still get the full $25 to keep.

The donate link is on the right coloumn of the main page for anyone that doesn't know.

donated - $25
remaining - $215

Post a reply here with the ammount you donated so we can keep track. You can always post as anonymous if you don't want to show your username.

This may be a little off-topic here.. but I just now visited the Programmers Unlimited site for the first time.. and was simply APPAULED and will never return back.

The only active thread on the forums talks about two topics:

a) Half Life 2 source code, how it is great that it was stolen, and much more that I can't post here.

b) How to steal VSNET 2003 and that piracy is what you should do.

Right there I clicked off and will never return. Seems to be just another 14-16 year old warez site community in the forums... no wonder nobody posts.

I would have thought at least one person would have donated by now.
I guess all the 247 people that viewed the post so far decided that what they get from this site (free education from the tutorials, entertainment from demo contests, a community to talk to about common interests) wasn''t even worth $1 to them.

Don''t be ashamed to donate $1, that''s how this works, everyone gives a little and it adds up.

Paypal is easy to use, I think they even offer an option to use a bank account if you don''t have a credit card (might have to be a checking account). If you can''t donate through paypal for some reason then email NeHe and maybe he can work something out with you.

I''ve given all the money in my paypal account to nehe before. However since I live in australia and don''t have a credit card getting money into my paypal account is nerely impossible
