Heh. Well, you see, Finland is a bit more advanced thant he rest of the world in this respect. The Finnish also have >1 cell phone/citizen. Including children.

It's fiscally unfeasible for us to accept check via web (EFTs) because of the high processing costs. HOWEVER: Paypal *does* accept EFTs, not just credit card payments.

Problem solved.

Very good indeed. You almost had me voting for you save that I remembered that if you got elected, you would be going round kissing babies, judging at beauty queen pageants and opening breweries and I just dont feel like giving you that much fun!

I'm fairly new to PBW gaming, however, since I've been playing I really enjoy it. Where else can you play against other human players other then in Hot Seat. PBW is worth whatever it takes to keep it up and running.

The question becomes do we (the members) want to keep it or take the chance of it going down the tubes because of funding. That I believe is the bottom line. Everything today cost something, someone has to pay the bills, PBW is gracious to let us play for free, however, it still costs money to run. Therefore, I'm not against paying for use, the problem is for those who really can't afford it,(yes there are some), so this needs to be taken into consideration as well. It wouldn't be fair to lose players because they couldn't afford a payment. In addition, as PBW grows, cost goes up to maintain.

Just my 2 cents worth Mac

If you take a look at the thread "PBW down", I think you will see that my so-called "shameless bump" was not as you purport it to be.
