    FAO Anyone who has played on Allen's Minecraft Server.

    Yes you!

    You've played on the server, for free. You've had fun, for free.

    He recently blew his mobo up, for free. Now he's looking to buy a new mobo.

    Times are hard for all of us, but the community spirit here on HEXUS is perhaps the best I've ever experienced (online), so I thought maybe we could all pool together to set up a "Get Allen a new mobo" fund.

    I'm not quite sure how to run this so I'll wait until one of the HEXUS Overlords confirms I've had permission to post (I have, honest!) and maybe they'll suggest a way to work this out.

    Yes indeed, I know his pain as I went through almost the same thing last month.
    I'd be willing to chip some in, not sure how much I can afford atm but I''m willing.

    Re: FAO Anyone who has played on Allen's Minecraft Server.

    Umm, wow, I dunno what to say about this!

    Thanks all of you, I really appreciate the thought! But really, I should be OK, now I have moved I am saving money on travel and bills and should be able to get a new mobo at the end of the month. The other bits can wait until I get my final electricity bill of £900+ sorted though (I'm pretty sure there's a mistake there somewhere, lol - if not I'm screwed).

    As I have said before, I get the server for free through work, it's only my spare time I use to admin the server and I enjoy doing that.

    Permission Granted

    It's a shining example of community spirit, and I couldn't have been more delighted when mycarsavw floated the idea

    Boring disclaimer bit:

    This is a completely community based effort, although HEXUS limited has given permission for this to be posted on the forum, and although we have the utmost trust in one of our most long-standing members, HEXUS limited cannot be held liable in any way shape or form should anything go wrong.

    Right, boring bit over

    Re: FAO Anyone who has played on Allen's Minecraft Server.

    I've heard it said that the Web is a scary, unfriendly place to be, and read much of the same.
    Most of the time, I've found the opposite to be true. I've not heard nor read that in the media.
    It's good to see community spirit is alive and well, if nowhere else but where I browse. This thread has cheered me up after a horrible day.
    ... I use now a big vent for the whole machine now, but I cant use it forever, it is my grandma's ventilator...

    Wow, I'm stunned this took off.

    Allen - shoosh, no whining here please

    Everyone else - In order to make this as pain free and effortless for the man as possible, I'll try and mange things myself.

    Please send me a PM if you're happy to donate. I'll collect the monies and then pass them on to Allen at the end of the November/beginning of December.

    Re: FAO Anyone who has played on Allen's Minecraft Server.

    So far I have received 5 PMs from people wanting to contribute. I've obviously not PM'd myself () and I have two others who have got in touch using other methods.

    That makes 8 in total who are willing to help Allen get a new mobo - thank you

    I think the best thing to do to save on multiple paypal fees would be to get everyone to contact Allen via PM to get his paypal address (I've sent him the list of those who've got in touch) and then they can arrange to put him in funds at their leisure.
