Tonight, Khel accidentally spilled water all over our computer, now It will not recognize our hard drive. Being the poor ppl we are we can barely even pay for the internet, lol, we will be unable to buy a new one.

If god has any grace he will make it work when it dries out...but that is very unlikely.

The only other option is try a hard drive we have spare, but the last time we tried to use it as a Slave drive we could not get it to work....so it is unlikely that this HD will work as well.

The computer was our (Khel, Aristal, Brenden{son}, Maycen{son}), only form of entertainment, due to us being not so well off :)

I guess now my goal of 126 will not be seen online, and if I ever do get online I will hit it w/o seeing it.

Khels goal of 126 will not be seen either.

We will work on trying a fix within the week, I now only have access to a computer, at one of my two jobs, which I work on the weekend.

I will notifiy you then as to what has happened.

If you so choose to boot us outta chain...pls feel free so we are not Slackers, even tho Khel tried his best to maintain, Acstats had a different story.

If anyone see's Phantasma, pls tell him to read this..and his pm's on VN, I would really appreciate it.

Love to all in LD even if we all didn't see eye to eye :D

Set up a paypal account, I would be willing to donate a few £'s for a worthy cause :)

LD = 1000 Active members??

If everyone donates a dollar you will be back in business :)

Maybe you would have to make everyone some beer or pies as a thank you :)

Best of luck, and hope it turns out ok

I agree with El-Tazar, set up an account with Paypal, you never know who will drop a couple of $$ in there, and it can add up really quickly. Look what Kwip (from CoD) did for his MS walk.

Let us know if you do so, I'm sure that there are plenty helpful souls who won't let you go down.

Well everyone guess what....

We scrounged up some money to buy a new HD, and well after a umm little misshap, we are up and running again...

{oh and the "first" new HD khel fried too :), now he knows better than to plug in the power supply to floppy drive while computer running, it fried our "new" HD */e thanks the gods for warrenty's*}

Thank you for the support, and the idea of paypal :)

Thank you oof for offering your old HD and even offering to send it to us.

And BTW if everyone in LD sent us one dollar...we could actually prolly afford a better system then we run now...this one is over 4 yrs old and has been through quite a lot *tower throwing contest one of Khels favorite sports, and mouse crushing as well *, so you get the idea :)

Thank you once again for your offers.
