Thank you!

The new server has been ordered and paid for.

Community Fund: £1,824.58
New Server cost:  Â£2,667.26

The dMw Community Account now has a balance of -£842.68

I have paid the difference between the cost of the server and the actual Communtiy funds held from my own personal account in the hope that the Community will be able to repay me from profit made by LAN VIII and the fund raising currently underway.

TL.

How's the funding after the LAN TL? Are we allready in the +?

he's done a runner! :ph34r:

Nah I just haven't added it up yet.  Mind you I am going on holiday in about 10 days time - wonder of that's just a coincidence :norty:

I'll post it up when I add it up, shoudl be by the weekend.

TL.

I have finished reconciling the donations received by post or direct transfer.  Everyone who contributed should have received a PM from me confirming receipt and thanking for the contribution.

I have also now added the list of contributions received at the LAN. I just need to confirm that the cash held matches the written records I hold of who contributed what!  I hope to do this tonight.  At the same time I will also reconcile the LAN fee cash held (the £15 LAN fee).

Totals for all of these funds will be posted later today along with a new balance for the community funds.

On behalf of the community, thank you for your generosity.  The server purchased did a fantastic job at the LAN and when it goes into the London server rack in November you *will* notice the difference!

Well, way to go TL.

As you say, nice to be in the black.

Hopefully, with the next Lan, we'll be able to have more of a buffer....

Are there any major projected expenses in the next 6 months?

Thanks for your stewardship once again - nice to see the good ship DMW still afloat  :D

The only thing currently under consideration is the acquisition of additional switches to alleviate the slight networking problems we experienced when one 24 port Cisco failed and the remaining two refused to talk to each other!  More details to come as and when the Admins have dicussed it, researched it and decided what's best to do.

Without wanting to cost save too much, why are we renting Ventrilo? Surely someone could host that for free on the 8mg adsl's that are floating around?

I believe its restricted to 8 people. I think its cost more to buy the server software that lets you host more then that. I may be wrong though ;)

http://www.ventrilo.com/purchase.php

The hoops they make you jump through seem ridiculous.

It's also something where we cannot provide teh support we need for dMr without DirectInput which is supported by Ventrillo, but not by TS, hence we are not using our TS server.

The dMw Paypal account has a numbe rof donatiions received which I have been tardy in either collecting from Paypal or recording here in this thread.  I'll make an effort to update this thread prior to the LAN.  Apologies for the delay.

TL.

I thought I'd also post the LAN a/c info here for the record.

QuoteHere are the accounts for LAN XII.

LAN fees  29 x £15 = £435 (There were 31 attendees - Sulky had his fees returned for spending hours fixing other people's machines and TL fees to come).
Misc revenue = £109
This was from:
Sales of Syrupwaffles = £45
Two x LAN poloshirts = £30 (Smilodon & Jamoe)
Sales of games Prey & Stalker = £13
Donations from People inc. Duvel, Gorion & Bob = £21

Total Money in = £559
Money out - £75 for prizes paid back to Sheepy.

NET PROFITS - £484
TL is adding his fees separately so I have sent £469 to server funds.

Thanks to everyone.

PEN.

PS. On behalf of the server fund I would like to add particular thanks to DuVeL. Not only did he contribute the funds raised from the sales of syrupwaffles to the Server funds (£45) but also donated other cash. His generosity therefore raised over £50 for the server fund ! :thumbup:

PEN

Well, I missed my self-imposed LAN deadline and all I can do is offer my apologies.  Lethargy and work got in the way of me actually reconciling things for the account.

Amazon again has provided good income via our affiliate link.  I realise that other purchases may have been made via other affiliates, but please be aware that most affiliates have a minimum distribution amount which can often equate to £50 or so.  In the period to date we received only the one payment from Amazon and none from any other affiliate. Please keep using the posted affiliate links as it does help the community in the long term!

A big thank you to those members who have contributed to the runnning costs of the commmunity.  Your support (whether by attending our LAN parties, purchasing via an affiliate link, buying the t-shirts or just by direct donation) allow us to keep our facilities up to date and and to keep providing the gaming environment we all enjoy so much.  Members, on behalf of the Admins, I salute you!  Thank you.

Finally, the existing LAN server is actually Oldbloke's (not the community's) and it is also getting more than long in the tooth for hosting today's games servers, let alone some of the forthcoming games servers that we will no doubt be wanting to play at LAN XIII.  The Admins have therefore decided to utilise some of these funds to purchase a new LAN server.  More info on this will follow when final decisions on spec etc have been made.

The purchase of the replacement for BA2 is being finalised at the moment.  
Hosting fees are due in the next month and we are considering the acquisition of switches to replace the fairly old (and increasingly often failing) switches we use at our LANs.  More details will follow.

To date the communtiy funds have been held in a separate personal account of mine.  This is something I have long wanted to change and after a few aborted attempts (due to numpty bank administration requirements) the community finally managed to open a Club/Association account with LloydsTSB last week whilst OB & I were in the same town and could sign documents at the same time etc.  We are currently awaiting confirmatory paperwork for the account to arrive and provide details such as the account number etc.  When this is finalised we will move all funds from the account in my sole name to the new community account and change the Paypal contribution buttons etc.  Signatories to the account are Oldbloke and me.  Details of the account will be posted when available.

Sounds easier than with Barclays, had to visit them 3 times and wait about a month to get an account for a small business.

After reading this thread I was finally convinced it was time to update paypal with my new bank card details, and make a donation. Keep up the good work.

To update the above.

I also believe that LionHeart also donated £20 via paypal/transfer to the Community Fund.

He did try and give me the cash but caught me at a bad minute as I'd just spent a couple of hours doing the accounts, counting it, filing it and transferring the money to the dMw Account. (He kindly then did it online)

Apologies if I was slightly grumps (:thumbsup2:)........  I had one helluva hangover on Saturday (for which I squarely blame Messers Oldbloke, LameDuck and Doorman for their respective bottles of Whisky and Rum :))

How much are we going to get in from the LAN?
How much do you expect to get back as a rebate on the server upgrade?
How much will that leave you still out of pocket?

Above post edited to show correct figures.  We should be fine me thinks, so long as the IBM refund happens (£324 approx).  LAN figures are also above.

TL.

payment made...:)

EDIT: Did you get it..?

BUMP...

And any news..? have too know where my money did go..:g:

Firtly, thanks for the donation and sorry if I missed the post, there's a lot happening on the forum and things can get missed.  The accounts are not audited daily, so please do not expect an instant response.  If you want confirmation of receipt then send me or Oldie a PM, we both have internet access to the account if payments were made directly there.  However, this is something I would prefer not to see happening as a general rule as it does require time to make such a confirmation if it is out of the normal reconciliation cycle.  So, where did you send the money, when, how much, in which name and with which payment reference please?  Feel free to continue this by PM.

TL.

To conclude KKNDs post, I found out which account he had made a payment to and confirmed receipt.  The money is not yet logged in this thread as the Paypal account has not been reconciled since 12th November, so the money is sat at Paypal and will be transferred into the dMw account at the next reconciliation when all the info in this thread is posted and updated.  KKND has been PM'd and informed.

Note: Edits of posts to bump do not show up as new posts, so do not actually succeed in doing any bumping!

Nice job TL, thanks for the update

Thanks TL.

Can you please give as an update about what we need to buy for the Community? I know the LAN switches are on their last legs for example....

ANOTHER REMINDER:

If anyone has made a donation great than £12 and would like to have it converted to a subscription (i.e. to get e Community Supporter badge), then please let me / smiloo know via pm and we will sort it for you.

Thanks

Aye LAN switches are due to be replaced before the April LAN and we're currently in discussion about how to progress that issue.  Afaiaa that's the only major one-off expenditure due in the next 3-4 months, the rest is the usual hosting, licence renewals etc.

Thought i'd chip in.

The switches seemed fine to me the problem is the pc's such as vista and xp not recognizing each other on the work group. The past two lans its been an issue. Direct ip access has worked but i think we need to come up with a solution to the problem or a workaround. The speed across the network for me at least seems adequate as the most traffic is usually at night time when lots of people have gone to bed anyway.

If you want to rewrite how Microsoft networking operates then feel free. However, because everyone will have different workgroups/domain entries on their PCs it is always going to be an issue.

The speed across the network for me at least seems adequate as the most traffic is usually at night time when lots of people have gone to bed anyway.

The last few LANs we have had an increasing number of dead ports cropping up, some of the switches have literally been DOA at the next LAN when they worked fine at the last LAN and the managed switches are running unknown configs which are probably conflicting.  In addition, some of the switches will not talk to each other (making uplinking difficult) and the typical server ping has been steadily climbing and was at 20-30ms last LAN which is way over what we should experience, file transfers allowing of course.  Moving to gigabit switches from the same brand should allow us to experience a greatly improved level of connectivity and far more resilience.

TL.

Ghosty, I think we pretty much decided at the last LAN that we're going to replace the switches when funds allowed

You've spent enough time helping me set up the LAN to realise we're constantly swapping them out to get the thing working. :flirty:

Last LAN was a nightmare and frankly I'm not spending another day and a half trying to get one half of the room to see the other half :rolleyes:
(Edit: posted same time as TL)

Got a 2924 lying around if you want it. Hasn't been used for about 3 years.....found it in my garage gathering dust.  No better or worse than you have, but dMw can have it if they want it....

Much appreciated Benny, we'll keep the offer in mind. :thumbsup:

Nice Kit.

Did we really need 5?

I mean we only have max of 50 players at the cromwell so 4 ( 64 ports) would have serviced.

80 ports seems a bit excessive to be honest when the money could have been kept for other costs

How many tables are there?
How many people run 2 NICs (gaming and leeching)?

Quote from: BlueBall;269869How many tables are there?
How many people run 2 NICs (gaming and leeching)?

Uhm... 4 tables me thinks? Around ten at each... very few use more than one NIC. With servers in total I don't think we surpass 50.

it's one per table and one for the servers and the four will star from the server switch.

edit: posted same time as above.

Yes.

As you can see from the above we did actually think about it before purchasing, so it is not excessive when you consider that port sizes tend to be 8, 16 or 24 in the range we are considering.

We're only upgrading the network to cope with your leeching anyway. :norty:

DA sold for £10 who was the lucky buyer? :roflmao:

On a serious note many thanks to both TL and Pen for the bringing the accounts up to date and its good to see the account with a good some of money for any future upgrades that the servers need.

The auction went alot better than i imagined. If a boffer boc is avilable next time i will grab one for donation and make sure its sealed to ad to the excitement and frantic bidding.

Blimey, well done everyone!

I think Ninja deserves a round of applause for his unique "Buy this ****! Buy it NOW!" sales technique :D

Addendum:

Included in the LAN funds were a few donations including a donation of £50 from Jamin which we feel deserves special mention.

Very generous and we thank you :worship:

Yes.

We had a few really choice items that sold well. Your Nostromo went for £25 I believe, FatBob's steering wheel went for £50, another wheel went for £27 etc. Delankster brought along some tshirts off his own bat which sold really well.  

GreekChef also deseves a mention as he was singlehandedly buying up enough crap to open his own pc store :lmfao:

Subsequent conversation on T-shirts moved to HERE. (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=27311)

Community Account update
The Community is run on a 'not for profit' basis, however it still costs money to be able to host the games we support, to keep the hardware running smoothly, pay our software subscriptions, meet anticipated future expenditure and to hold a contingency fund for emergency hardware replacement or hosting arrangements.  The purpose of the Community Fund is to meet these eventualities so that we can keep the dMw Community running, whatever happens.  The Community Admins monitor these factors and discuss possible future eventualities on a regular basis and deem the current level of funding for the commmunity to be appropriate given the factors involved.

Sorted.

I'd like to thank everyone who attended the LAN - both gaming and socialising - for making it such a success.

With regards to finances, we made a small surplus of £54.47 for the LAN. This takes into accounts the costs of the dogtags for attendees and winners, Public Liability Insurance and the one off costs for the playing cards and shufflers etc.

We'd particularly like to thank those who donated money to the server funds in addition to funds and fees. There were quite a few of you and it all helps. Whether it was donating syrup waffle money, giving us your Sterling before you fly off back home or just wanting to contribute, it's appreciated.

As usual, all monies raised go to maintain the server funds and/or help pay for server rentals.

Thanks

Yes, I know it's been a while since I posted so here's a quick precis for you.

Our bank account balance currently stands at £1,078.84. Unfortunately, my authenticator machine isn't working atm and a new one is one order so I don't have any more information than that.

Our Paypal account balance is £199.21  (comprising £154.68 and USD $71.59).

So overall, we have funds of £1,278.05

Our income is primarily derived from supporting members (currently standing at 77 active and 81 lapsed) and potentially a small surplus from the LANs

Once again, we'd like to thank all of you who continue to support dMw be it by supporting member, donation or LAN events. All money raised goes to support the community be it our own server, rented game servers, TS, hosting or bandwidth.

In addition to the above, recent activity also includes upgrading BA4 to 32GB ram (courtesy of Albert) and we purchased a backup USB Drive which sits alongside the server.

If anyone has any queries, comments or suggestions then please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you.

Hi all,

We had a surplus at the October LAN and ended up with £295.00 over and above costs.

The vast majority of this income was from new supporting members (which was a pre-requisite for attending the LAN). Those people have now be badged up with our thanks. if anyone is missing their badge then please let me know.

The income brings our bank account to just over £1,000 and a paypal balance of £276.65.

Thanks

This thread hasn't been updated in a long time although there have been other discussions in other threads before you shout at me. :)


Thanks again to everyone who supported us at the LAN. That has added £305 to the funds.

In addition, Sneaky has donated £25 in lieu of payment for a graphics card - thank you. (There may have been other donations at the LAN but I just get the total figure).

So I've added both to the bank account totalling £330. TL and OB have paid for their mugs so I think we're totally squared.


 All in all, the server funds are looking in good shape considering we spunked the best part of £3K on a server last year.

We currently have 85 supporting members (including the ones which renewed at the LAN and which I'll update tomorrow).

The dMw bank account has £2,364 therein and there's £664 in the paypal account.

With the purchase of BA6 last year our hardware is good (thanks again to Whitey for hosting it) and we don't think there's major outgoings expected over and above our normal.

We will have to purchase some new switches for the LAN at some point and we'll let you know.

Thanks again chaps and chappeses. 100% of what we take goes into the community pot so you're really donating to yourselves!

More than happy to answer any questions or queries you have either here or on PM.

Thanks for the update Pen.

One item of major expenditure not mentioned, which has been on hold whilst funds recover from the BA6 purchase, is an upgrade to our forum software.  That will reduce that balance by a chunk.  It was planned for 2018, but BA6 put a hold on things, so hopefully that will come on stream again during 2020.
