Some of you may be wondering why we aren't updating the site w/ more modifications, games, newer versions of vB, etc

The reason is simple: the license for the site expired. Technically we're not even supposed to still have the forum running.

If you're interested in donating to get another license, prices from vB (https://www.vbulletin.com/order/) are as follows:
$85 - year (leased) license. After a year, it expires again and we're back like this.
$160 - permanent (owned) license. One shot deal, up for good.

Discuss, and use the "Donate" button on the navbar and the donate module on the front page if you'd like to donate.
If you donate please send either myself or TheWastedYears a PM stating you dontated specifically to help w/ a new license, and which license you'd prefer

Members willing to Donate
Perm License
MGM1979
JayCizzo [donation given]
Doc [donation given]
Cat Ion [donation given]
all4glh [donation given]
Year License

and now for some incentive:
Users who sign up to donate and do so when we determine we're going to go through with it will get a badge under their name, and be promoted to Super Members (http://www.eatoninside.com/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_adv_participation)
yeah - how many of us are there? from there, let's divide the $160 up equally and just end this BS...

I'm game for throwing some cash out, just let me know how much...

...and since you probably never hear it from us ungrateful bastads, thanks for all you do!I'm up for donating for the perm license.

Especially if we can install the multi-player poker tourney in the Arcade :hungry:

I'll donate a little bit, like $15? It's not a lot, but I know every little bit counts.

I'll donate towards the permanent license. Let me know how much you would consider a worthwhile donation. Thanks for all that you do to keep us linked together in a much more relaxing environment than RLF!

I'll see where my bank account is sitting tomorrow after I deposit my check and last week's tips. I'm a little low in the funds dept. but will certainly make a contribution.

Ummm, ok. HEY I'm blonde, plus I don't frequent the home page from top to bottom. I'm so excited to get on here everyday that I just go straight to User CP or New posts!

Oh yeah, $20 sent for perm license!

First of all, guys... lemme say thanks for the large donations recently. It means a lot to see that kinda dedication to making sure this site stays up and running.

As soon as vBulletin quits being a dildo and rejecting my Paypal account, we'll have ourselves a permanent license. Then, that guy from Russia will stop sending me those annoying emails reminding me of their anti-piracy policies.
