I'd like to shell out for a professional forum license for Jeff if he'll recieve it.

I don't neccessarily think the phpBB software's at fault, it really seems like he's got scripting issues that his host needs to address, and I know he's taking the issue up with them, so we'll see what happens.

I agree, better forum software would be nice (I wouldn't say it if I wasn't willing to chip in).

That textarea replacement wouldn't replace PHP. PHP is a server-side scripting language, whereas that wysiwyg editor uses javascript to format HTML on the client side. And HTML isn't allowed in posts.

Just want to ditto the chip in part on my behalf if ever a consideration for this is weighed.

Fine. Send your money order to Jeff and I'll match whatever sum from all other members are accrued. I want Jeff on vBulletin, and I'm willing to shell it out on my own if I have to..

Give me viable alternatives; enough of this free forum stuff..

Money order?
Any other option?
The Paypal link is still broken on the blogpage btw.

I think it should be anonymous so that way Jeff won't have to balk at kicking somebody out, even if they contributed to the upgrade.

It probably doesn't matter, though, because it's not a lot of money anyway.

I don't need a gold star or a "get out of shitcan free" card, just tell me where I send a contribution so we can end these maddening "cpu quota" messages before I post a picture of a bell tower in some thread and start flinging metaphorical doo-doo sticks. (someone could lose an eye....)
