I'd be all 4 this... if I had a way to pay...

But still, I like this Idea.

Is my recent donation 4saken, or could it count for this?

Indeed it does count. All donations from the past three months have been counted.

2+2?  Why that's easy!

2+2=4 (or at least it was the last time I checked).

Also, thanks for counting all donations from the past 3 months.

ok. I may not be all for a 3Ds, but I'm glad you guys are doing som'in fun ^_^ Oh, The donation that I paid was through my cuz's account. If you need info, please pm me and I'll verify.

Well I'm not interested in entering your contest, but I would like to wish you luck in your donation efforts. Hope you can raise more than $169.99!

2+2?

7

4

Good luck to those who enter :o

2+2=4 or fish... I think 4, but I'm not sure.

Is there a recommended donation? I'm kind of strapped for cash at the moment.

You can donate as much as you want, but the more you donate, the more entries you get.

If you're interested in joining, and light on money, you can just do 1$

I'm more interested in just donating. How much would be recommended to actually make a difference?

I'd only enter in this if i knew the color of the 3DS.   If it were Red, White or Zelda colored I'd be in. but since its random >.>  GL though, it's a great idea.

Yeah, that rule should be changed, the winner should get to choose an available color.

We can work with that. Obviously it needs to be a color we have available. The Zelda one is pretty hard to find, but we'll see what we can do. :)

4, i donated yesterday xP

Didn't even know this was coming lol.

Last I checked it equaled 4, but it may have changed since then. Math is a tricky devil.

LOL at step 1...
also, when the time come, whoever the winner is, upgrade the firmware, as it adds actual useful stuff

Where is the 3DS coming from if all the donation money is going toward the new server?

It's a giveaway. You don't question where the car came from when the mall is having a drawing to win it, do you? xD

That's because it's assumed that the mall bought the car with it's profits. You guys got some stores we don't know about? Where's the food court?

also large prizes usually have some extra thing tacked on i think it was called a gratutity fee or something but if i could donate i would i always wanted a 3ds

Depending on how well this goes, we just might find that iPad for the next giveaway we have. ;)

Updated the donations page and blog page with the latest donations.

Just a reminder! If When we reach our goal, I'll release a special model import pack!

No big deal as long as people keep cranking out mods

Bmsortiz, I'll take your post here as your note. Updated the donations page now.

Two plus two equals four

Was going to donate for a while, might as well do it now.

Thank you Jack

I'll update it at the end of the giveaway. It changes to rapidly for it to be changed. :)

Can I request to not be entered into the competition?

There's the issue of shipping to Europe then the fact that I'm not even sure if the 3DS is region-free, not to mention that I would only give it to my sister anyway in case I win.

I'd also rather have someone from the community win this :]

the 3ds will be ntsc, right? damn me for being a pal user...

Quote from: jokekid on December 20, 2011, 11:32:50 AM

Yeah, it's NTSC. Any votes on what color the prized one should be?

and i guess there's no posibility to get a PAL one, right? >.<

Quote from: jokekid on December 20, 2011, 06:25:20 PMand i guess there's no posibility to get a PAL one, right? >.<

I don't know if it's the same with the 3DS, but my regular DS is NTSC and all my PAL games play on it just fine.

If anyone can get us some more information about that, but with the 3DS, it would be greatly appreciated!

3DS is region-locked, but the regular DS isn't.

it would be cool if it was region free like the PSP...

Added Pearl Pink to the poll. Didn't know it existed. >_>

so who won?

Did I win? Hey jack, can you give me a 3ds?

Quote from: Polaris on January 01, 2012, 11:16:24 PM

Winner will be announced in 4 hours. Randomization selection will commence then. :)

Good luck to those who donated!

can I still donate???

Quote from: Polaris on January 02, 2012, 01:13:52 AM

Yes but not for this event.

Give a warm golf clap to RERUSH, this New Years Winner of the Nintendo 3DS. We'll be shipping it out tomorrow, and we request that ReRush put up pictures of the receiving package as well as the 3DS itself upon receiving it.

Thank you! Good luck to everyone next time!

It looks like ReRush never posted in this thread. Too bad! See the winner below (when it's posted!)

Congrats to ReRush for winning the contest!  Though, I'm kinda confused as to how he did it, as he didn't post in this thread at all...

Oh well.  Hope all of the money raised helps out.

Oh ho! An excellent point. I do believe this makes ReRush inneligable to be the winner. We'll have to award the winner to another random donator! Please allow a few minutes while we randomly select another winner!

Here are the new results for the New Years Gift Giveaway!

First 10 out of our 159 Randomized ballots:

1- Vyse
2 - Bmsortiz
3 - dRage
4 - ReRush
5 - Victory Badguy
6 - ReRush
7 - AnthXYZ
8 - Vyse
9 - Kit Ballard
10 - Victory Badguy

Congrats to Vyse!

Good luck in our next giveaway everyone! (We'll work on a diminishing point value so we can hopefully count your previous donations for at least some sort of levy towards the next givewaway!)

Damn Vyse.
You're lucky >.<

Well, congrats to Vyse.  Wish that I'd won, but oh well.  Vyse helps out the site in many more ways than simply giving cash, so he really does deserve this.

Well, thanks.

And on behalf of KC:MM, thanks to everyone who donated.

So was it enough for the new servers?

A 3DS alone is $170, plus any shipping costs. We raised $200.

Short answer: no. But it's a start.

well something is better than nothing.. O and congrats..

Honestly, while a server upgrade would be nice, it's not nearly as important as fixing up BV. In fact, the next giveaway's "profits" will be going to pic. If you wanna expedite the process a bit, you can donate directly to picano via his personal page and include a note with your donation telling him to get off his ass and fix BrawlVault.

Quote from: Nuke on January 02, 2012, 08:37:46 PM

Yep. And thanks.

Lemme just clarify things and say I'm not really in it for the money. I just have a really hard time doing something I don't find interesting. (Even at work they know this XD) Immediately after break started, I got things to a slightly more stable state but well... have slacked off during the break; beating Kirby Return to Dreamland / playing mario party with the gf has taken priority.

The issues of caching page data / statistics is one I will get around to. In fact, at work right now I've got a project which has a lot of caching code I've been glancing at --- but it's not something I can directly copy (asp vs php, mysql vs sqlserver).

As I have already noted, the stats system is about 80% improved right now. All stats are now updated/stored to a forum profile field (much like post count) and I've got a working page that can update every user's vault stat with a single click, taking about 10 seconds; the exception being collabs, which... are quite a bit more resource intensive. I've got a working collab stat updater but it works one user at a time, meaning this will likely be a batch process run every so often during low activity hours.

As far as stats are concerned, the next fix has to be the stats page itself. While the profile based stats have improved its performance a little, a lot of the stats still require a fully table query to compute (anything that isn't simply user with X downloadsor  hack with X downloads). The fix is simple, cache the result data every so often / display a pre-calculated page.

The next hurdle isn't quite as simple though... fixing up actual brawl vault usage (searching through character or stage). I'm not really sure how to improve that yet, as the results should update whenever a new hack needs to be displayed for the given search --- which is quite often.

Anyway, back to the topic of money. For anyone that is wary about what I'll be doing with the offtopic ad funds...

Prior to Dec 1, 2011
(Estimated) Unpaid earnings
KCMM: $42.15
picanogfx: $18.41
UNOTaku: $1.07
Total: $62.45 (I... really don't know why the numbers they give me don't add up)

(Estimated) Earnings for December 2011
KCMM: $37.65
Combined Total: ~$100.01

Now for anyone who hasn't messed with Google Adsense, you need a minimum $100 for your first payout. There is also an unspecified period of time where they will verify the authenticity of your ad revenue, make adjustments as they see fit (also taxes), and then the payment itself is made by check sometime around the following month.

I will be taking the cut only from my 2 sites. (~$19, less thanks to tax) The rest I plan to either hand over to Dantarion directly or hold on to in case of emergency. (Dantarion has yet to tell me the actual costs of this current server and has been quite generous, going as far as rejecting unnecessary donations. As such, I currently don't have any plans to add any more ads to the site; frankly, I've been hoping since long before BV started that Brawl hacking would die down already XD)

4.

Congrats Vyse.

^ poor that guy. =[

ah #2 lol so close congrats to Vyse I just wanna see more awesome mods show up from people :)

At least someone active got it instead of someone who only joined to enter the contest. Can't wait to see what sort of wonderful prize you guys conjure up next.

Why... Why Vyse is in the list 2 times?

Because he had more then one entry because of the amount he donated.

I bet Jack H just ran the random number generator over and over again to pick people.
And forgot to remove Vyse's second nomination ? o.o

Or what Cascade said. Everyone had more than 1 entry.

Yep. As you recall in the rules, every $5 was for 2 entries. Every $20 was for 15 entries. The easiest way to weight the votes was to cast in multiples of the same person.

And finally, what was the color?
