Dear MNHQ

[PurplePidjin]

Please follow my rather simplistic train of thought...

Your servers keep going offline

Therefore you need new servers

New servers are expensive

Therefore you can't just waltz into Waitrose and get some new ones imagine finding that shopping list

Adverts pull in revenue

There are half a million or so Mn'ers ignoring the irritating flashy things down the side of the forum

AIBU to suggest we all click lots of adverts so MNHQ can get more money and buy a new server?

I don't like ads

Can I just give you money?

Did you know The White Stuff have 10% off their Summer Collection? It had passed me by.

Boden?

Never heard of them till now........

God, their clothes are fugly

You're brave, Katie.

For anyone asking technical questions, please refer to the oversimplification of my OP

clothes cannot be fugly, only people or animals.

Mn has got to be worth £36.50 a year from me; maybe more......10p a day easily maybe even 20p a day

Mark Warner and the White Stuff....perhaps we should have a raffle.

Tee

(It's my secret way of getting others to click on the Boden site and make money for serveraid)

But ssshhhhh, don't tell anyone

Why can clothes not be fugly HolyCamera? Surely anything can be fugly?

I agree with Blather. Anything can be fugly.

Very sneaky Katie.

Yeah I would pay....might get rid of some of the riffraff

.

But you could start flogging mumsnet mugs and t-shirts with the logo and the best quotes of the year.

Ha ha at ServerAid

KatyMac - I'm with you. There could be a sort of honesty-box donations thing - pay something, anything, and the MN Servers will function.

Have you tried turning the servers off and on again, btw? Maybe several times?

What do you think would happen if you had a button saying "if you would like to donate to MN click here" (and then a nice easy send-money-to-us-by-Paypal form)?

at hassled 'Have you tried turning the servers off and on again, btw?'

Have you checked your servers aren't being fiddled with by men wearing Super Hero costumes?

Ok poor taste....

I was going to suggest kicking them, Hassled, but I think they should try your suggestion first.

Do you have enough Duct Tape, HelenMN?

MNHQ would move to a secret island location with a volcano and lots of bronzed scantily clad men.

I would prefer

"If you would like to recover the thoughtful, insightful post you have just spent literally moments composing before the server crashed, click here for paypal donation and we'll see what we can do."

It's not very snappy, though.

Poor companies paying for non-existent customers.

Would Justine be sitting stroking a fluffy white cat in a slow yet menacing fashion?

fugly is fat and ugly. Clothes can be ugly, but not fat ergo clothes can not be fugly.

I'll start clicking when I get home and on the computer. I must have a similar ad blocker to Worra as I usually don't notice the ads.
