Laughing Hyena 296 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 I think that might be a bit too much for our blood, so I am not too sure on supporting Arrowchat. Either way I will give this a bump to keep ti at the top of new content so others see this as the first thing. It's very important we come to an accord.

Adam322 704 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 That's pricey... which one would we be looking at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathew322 402 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Ya, I'd have to know which one we'd be looking at before making any kind of donation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Kjeller 23 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Probably just the one-off payment option, I don't think updates are as critical for the chat compared to updating the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam322 704 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Oh well that's not so bad. Think we need more members chiming in for this but pooling together we can all get to 45 dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathew322 402 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Ya, 45 bucks isn't that much, we could all chip in a bit and have it done in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Keizer Omega 410 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 I'd help but I don't have a way to donate and I don't have much cash on me either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Kjeller 23 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Ok, seeing as most of you want to chip-in for the one-off payment method, please donate whatever you can to "mileskjeller[at]gmail.com" over PayPal.Set your reason to "ArrowChat", Method Donation/Gift, make sure you select NO SHIPPING ADDRESS and, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, mention "TeamAcorn" or anything related to it.

Adam322 704 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Wait I just noticed the poll, what kind of replacements are we talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blade_tigerx 192 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 well depending on which option is easier, I can chuck $20 in, if everyone else can help cover the other $25. But are their any replacements you can think of Miles? 1 Blazeymix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Kjeller 23 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 So far I have found no replacements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam322 704 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Well then I could probably donate 15 dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weltall84 559 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I need to work off some bills first but I can try to chip in 15-20 or 30 sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Kjeller 23 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 As you can probably tell, nothing has happened.I'm trying to engage in a conversation with the Arrow Chat guys, but so far I've had no response.As it stands, I'm keeping the chat enabled just now and we'll figure something out later.

Adam322 704 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 Sorry I haven't sent in the 15 dollars for the chat thing, I don't have the money for it anymore, gonna need some more time till me temporary job starts in another week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam322 704 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 So the chat seems to be bugged, comments don't show up on either side of the chat. Also what is the progress on buying a new chat thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Kjeller 23 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 Due to an unknown fault the chat has failed, I am investigating this just now.Right now, please use the Private messaging system. Sorry for any inconvenience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam322 704 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 What's the progress on buying the stand alone version of chat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Kjeller 23 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 If we are having faults like this with a "nulled" version, as it seems, then I'm not willing to plunk down the cash for the paid version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam322 704 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 How much is needed for the official stand alone version by the way? I recently got a new job and can finally donate some funds to help buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathew322 402 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 Me too. Ever since you updated the chat then it's been far more reliable, has sound notifications, has embedded message prompts, it's a lot more fun than it use to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam322 704 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 Wish the chat room still at least worked. While we're on the subject is there anything we can do the make the chat better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Kjeller 23 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 Please stand by, I'm "upgrading" ArrowChat. This may or may not work... That didn't work... If we want to buy Arrowchat it's $45 every 6 months http://www.arrowchat.com/purchase/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathew322 402 Report post Posted June 27, 2015 Sure I can swing 45 bucks. Anyone wanna offset the price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
