I'm not saying you have to pay. No one HAS to. But people don't pay coz they know people here, they pay coz they like the services the site provides, and for the community we have here.

No please people don't feel obliged to donate, every donation is gratefully accepted, but there is no pressure at all!! Nobody has to donate if they don't really support the idea for 200%.
I would pay for the whole server myself if nobody helped out, but it would take me several months to get that amount of cash together. I already have a huge stack of unpaid bills lying around and am working my ass off to get everything paid. The old server breaking down came really unexpected and I can't plan this in financially atm. In the meanwhile the site has moved to another server so it can continue but we are stuck with a bloody slow shared connection and without our precious tracks and sample packs...
FYI I have spent over 6000 euro in running the site up to now, not counting the many many hours of time I've invested in it. It's just that I really love doing this, seeing people helping eachother out, watching producers improve their skills over time, and seeing dozens of people hanging out on the site at times. We started out 3 years ago with a handful of members and a license of woltlab burning board, and see where we are now!

As said before: that takes time. If anyone does have the time and experience for that, feel free to do it...

why are you trying to buy a fast server if you dont have the money?. i dont get the point. why dont you rent some webspace for e.g. 5 € a month. you'd have everything you need, to keep the community together. its not really about much webspace or a fast connection, its about keepin the people together i think.
i like this site, but i cant send any money...
btw. plz use another skin for the site, this is horrible

Again: if we do that we can't give any hosting of MP3s, samplepacks or whatever, only a forum. And it would probably be a pretty slow movie too!
The reason we need a fast server is we want to do it the right way, not the cheap way. Otherwise we'd just be another forum.

And we're not going to buy a fast server at all, we're going to buy the slowest and cheapest opteron server currently available. A fast opteron server costs like 8000 euro
And I can't change the 'skin' because the site doesn't use any skins lol. It's not a prefab slap on and go site, it's completely hand made. I'd be happy to change the design, but I can't afford to pay a graphic designer. Let's get the new server up first.

Please, please please, dont change this look of the site, the so called 'skin' is excellent, i cant stand the thought of logging onto drumnbass.be one day to find the interface looked like DOA or Basstalk, urgh, no way, fuck my eyes up after 30 minutes!!!
plenty of headz agree with me on this one..

Well, I don't think you have to be afraid for us changing to a black background. Bot thechronic and I are against that

No, but a slight different change wouldn't be bad ... Some army colours would be great ... And some new emoticons
