What I really need is more Technical Staff to upgrade this board.

We have issues trusting folks we don't know here. Heck, even had issues with folks we thought we new here! This board has been highly modified & most can't touch it. I think we have to start all over.

Hey All,

Been awhile since i have logged in, it's been hard since sophia's passing, one day at a time... Things haven't changed much, I do still have my Fahaka he's getting big. I am now colouring comics freelance....I will have to read what has been happing with the forum, I saw this post about a server. If i can help in anyway, please PM me.. I do work in the IT feild, I still work for IBM on the side... Anyways, I am planning on getting some more Pea Puffs, so i was looking for the Puffpedia, but i saw it was down, that's when i started reading about the server issues...When i get paid next i will try and donate something... :)

Thanks all

God Bless..

EDIT: I had an after thought, If you guys are okay with it, I could make a new tee design for you to put up in your store, might help to generate some income for the site....Just an idea :)

I would not bother they won't make a new server and most likely have spent all the money that's been given it's been months now there just pocketing the money.

I tried donating by Paypal using the dropdown menu but Paypal said there was a problem, to try another method. Before I assume this is a problem on my end and start making inquiries, could someone possibly verify that the Puffer Forum paypal donation button still works? Thanks kindly. :)

I clicked on the donation button on our Homepage & it worked. Support dropdown worked for me, too.
Thanks in advance!

It needs another one. The host threatened to shut us down a couple of weeks ago, if we don't do it soon but I have no Tech Staff here.

There seriously isn't any technical staff? Do you do everything by yourself?!
