Endless Sphere knowledgebase system ( zeropress ) and funding drive

Oh you can totally ignore that. I don't have any exclusive content setup. No reason to sign up!
 
38% of the way there!

The money is controlled by me and will be used to pay a developer to add features, and integrate it into ES.
ebikes.ca has agreed to match what we raise.

See page 1 for more details.
 
We did a little experiment to see how much work it would take to integrate into our forum's permission system. We just had to know, because that's the hardest part and we were nervous about overunning our budget due to it.

Turns out this hard part is easy, we're thrilled!

We're also 49% funded now ^_^

What's next? i owe the other member of the development team some technical drawings on how the ES features look and act. That should get done either this week or next week.

We'll post progress updates and let yall play with the beta version as soon as possible to collect feedback - we like it.

Thank you so much guys for helping us make this a reality for the forum. We're so pumped to do this!
 
I am assuming that Justin is aware of this and is ok with money going to the mods. This is why I quit. I think Moderators should be a voluntary position. I honestly don't see why we need to give them money. This place ran fine for well over a decade without paying for moderation and I can't see where paying them will make anything better. The only thing I noticed different is that my username got removed without even asking me.

Let's see if this post gets taken down like some of my recent others.

Yes, like i said on the first post, it goes to me, which pays a developer to do the work ( who has worked on our system w/me for over a year now ). Justin knows about it, and his company is price matching what the forum comes up with.

Moderators are a voluntary position still and are not paid. I only said if we somehow end up with excess money somehow, it becomes a moderator tip jar.

You told me you quit being a moderator because you don't frequent this place previously. If a one time distribution of excess funds to moderators was a big problem for you, i wish you brought it up.

Your username was not removed, it's still active. We talked about this in private but if you want to make it public, i'll explain it in public the second time.

You ignored the new password policy and kept your 4 character password, which isn't secure by any means. The account was locked out and a week ago i gave you instructions on how to get back into that account by setting a new password, and i have not heard back from you on taking the actions to restore your account.


Please discuss anything you need from me privately instead of on our fundraising post, it feels like you're attempting to pick me apart in public while i'm trying to do things to improve this forum and i don't appreciate that. It's not good for either of us.
 
I don't need anything from you.

No matter how you word it, after over 10 years my account got discarded and username whacked without even asking me. And I was a moderator too!

I'm just tired of how this place is changing into somebody's personal playground. Justin, who pays the bills, has never done this.
 
Again your account is not discarded, you have instructions to reset the password to one that isn't 4 characters long.

I've been in charge of of the technical and design aspects of ES since 2015 & working w/Justin and forum members to determine how things go. Nothing about how this place is ran is new.

I think you just don't like change, dude. And for whatever reason, you want to drag it out in public.
I've told you to stop this in several threads already. And you know whose behavior looks bad here? yours.
 
Hey! I am upping my pledge from $50.00 to $100.00.

😊⚡
 
Hey, we're fully funded and we went $13 over the target, so i shut off the ability to donate.

Thanks though!
 
Done, bad on me for missing it!

Ummmmm, did I miss something? Where was the donation portal?
 
Some posts ago, but it's closed to taking money now.
