Thanx, Superjens!!! ^___^

I get the same error after typing in the password.

Thanks for allowing us to use your server for our pics & stuff! BTW, what (in as few words as possible) was the taco_wreck video about. I never saw it nor heard of it. I can get it from LimeWire, but I'm just curious that's all.... Thankx again!

Taco Wreck was an accident video, some ultra-maroon jumped a dune and landed almost on top of somebody else. Driver was last heard repeating "I am Sofa King, we todd it" over and over ...

It's amazing to me what some people do with their vehicles/bodies. Thanks for the info about the taco. I just finished looking @ your site too, superjen. Nice to say the least! The 18-Chad.html pic looks just like he's smoking the tires! Great photos thru-out. Keep it up! I bookmarked your site.
Later....

Just some steam after crossing a small stream on a very cold day. Chad is 'ozxterra', and posts here.

By the way (this goes to everybody), I pee standing up so it's superJENS not superJEN. It's one of those wacked out North European names, the J sounds like a Y.

Sorry "MAN", I simply didn't type in the "S". It wasn't that I was trying to do you any harm, nor trying to do anything... I simply left out the last letter... Look, you can call me Sonny*Daz, what the hell? :}

Daz, uh Daze, I wasn't trying to give you shit, sorry if I came across that way. I figured my would make that clear. Just saw three posts in a row where my name was misspelled and I figured this was a good place to point it out! "superjenny" is my favourite.

Cheers

No problem ....

Fellow Xterra pic and video fans,

superjens.com recently came up for renewal, and I spent a good month just thinking about whether or not keeping this up and running was worth it. Taking a look at the logs for the last three months, seeing how many new pics and videos are uploaded to my site by you guys, and taking note of the propagation of these linked images to other sites and forums all over the internet made me realize I should put my personal opinions in this matter aside. Obviously this is pretty popular and handy.

So far there are 1,214 files (853 MB's worth) mostly pics but lots of videos as well. June alone has seen 327 new files, that's over 10 new uploads a day.

Some statistics:

Jan to March 2002 (100 days)
Hits: 290,308
Total Data Transferred: 70.44 GB (70,000 MB)

April to May 2002 (60 days)
Hits: 260,711
Total Data Transferred: 28.57 GB

July 1 to July 18 2002 (18 days)
Hits: 51321
Total Data Transferred: 7.37 GB

What's my involvement in all this? Keeping it running and backing it up every day! Uptime statistics since this year:

Since 1/1/2002: (Last 198 Days)

System Availability: 99.9146%
Total Uptime: 198d 5h:32m:31s
Total Downtime: 0d 4h:3m:54s
Total Reboots: 22
Mean Time Between Reboots: 9.02 days
Total Bluescreens: 0

All those reboots are due to applying security patches (unbelievable how often Microsoft patches things ... sad really). The largest part of that 4-hours of downtime is one of my coworkers accidentally unplugging the power cable and not noticing. Still, three nine's ain't bad! Your pics are available 24/7/365!

So what's the catch? Why am I telling you all this? My domain renewal fees just cost me $35 US ($50 CDN). I spend at least several every week keeping the server running and backing stuff up, answering emails and renaming/deleting files for people who messed up, giving out advice and help to those who don't know how to upload, you name it.

I really hope I'm not being an ass for doing this, but here's what I'm asking: If any of you find this useful and are happy to have a fast, easy place to store and host your Xterra pics and videos, why not donate a buck or two or more? No bad karma if you don't, I'm just accepting donated help from anybody in the form of greenbacks instead of sweat.

If you have a spare buck you can PayPal me at superjens@hotmail.com

Snail mail would be great too, shoot me an email and I'll give you my address.

Cheers eveybody

superjens

jens check your mail.

Knowing you, and the amount of time you work on that server, I'll give you a couple of bucks for hosting and perhaps some Marcipan.

Thank for all your work so far!

With the new "donations requested" policy, have the user/password permissions changed so that only those who have donated know how to log in?

The original user/password do not work anymore.

At first, no. But after a few days only 3 people responded (TK1, fastdrmr, and SalsaX ... it's a given for Xlax and other close friends). I figured since nobody made a peep that nobody cared, so I killed the account.

Those guys bought me a beer (so to speak) and convinced me to give them their own accounts.

I converted from communism to capitalism!

I like capitalism!

I think that people missed the post.
I just saw it today by chance.
It is way at the bottom.

shoot.......i just saw this post. I would be more than happy to send a few bucks (US$) your way. I figure its the least I can do.

Are you still accepting it, or did you kill it? Please let us know.

Even if you decided to kill it, It was really cool of you to offer it in the 1st place. You didn't have to and you did it as a "public service" to the XOC community. For that you got "5-xterra's" from me.

Thanks

Thanks KJ, and yes the offer is still valid.

Superjens what you are doing is fantastic for the XOC community. I use fototime.com for my groups pics and stuff. We haven't got into video's yet. I will be sending you a couple of bucks just because I like what you are doing.

Edited to add: I just sent you the money. Hope it helps the cause.

DefibVT

All done, sent my contribution...

Superjens,
A little help is on its way.

You guys rock, thanks a million. Upload 'till your modem dies, link away to your heart's content.

So I assume I should take down the information in the Pictures forum, since this is no longer a free service ?

Do as you wish. It's still free, just open to people who subscribe to the "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" philosophy. You know, do unto others, that kind of thing. I help friends move for free, but I expect them to buy me lunch and supply the beers. Same principle.

Hey I sent you a few bucks. When do I get my password?
