Külföldi torrent oldalak Bitsoup | BSP Meter Update!

First let me say that I'm truly sorry for the discrepancy we had yesterday on the funding meter as many of you are aware of. This was my fault and I apologize to everyone. Now let me explain the 2 hiccups we've had since launching the meter itself.

1. The first one wasn't actually a hiccup, but rather an adjustment we needed to make to compensate for our main server blade that blew up a week ago or so. This was a unexpected failure and why we run hardware promos/fundraisers outside of the normal monthly coverage ones, although those support promos also have to cover that months overhead as it would be pointless to run 2 separate ones in the same month with normally having trouble just getting the site itself funded. This is additional monies that are needed every once in while that we can't normally set aside from normal monthly support.

2. The second one happened yesterday and was total human error on my part. For that, again, I apologize and shouldn't ever be a re-occurring incident, as I would like to think I learn from my mistakes. I simply had inputted the wrong number where it shouldn't have been. The number that was supplied was a projected number, based on the current pace of support we have this month. Meaning if we stayed on course based on what we currently achieved, we would end the month at almost 75% of total cost. This also tells everyone from my mistake, that we're currently behind 25% of what we need this month to stay on par.

I would like to add however, that mistakes and perception from our community's standpoint are 2 of the biggest reasons we've never ran a meter of any sort. Having said that, we're committed, for better or worse, in making every one of you more connected with site issues and keeping the average member informed of more site business that ever before; as you can clearly see from the latest post from our owner, the funding meter, and from the changes we're trying to implement that has been suggested and/or requested directly from our members.

While we can't disclose everything, we'll do our best in allowing you more information; so you can be more attentive to site issues, and can feel more apart of your site than in the past.

Thank you all for your commitments and dedications for us all here at Bitsoup. We couldn't do it without you and hope we all can continue for years to come. I was gonna release this yesterday when the mistake was caught, but thought 2 announcements were already enough. (we don't like them either, but unfortunately necessary)

Example: Once the announcements were made, we gained more donations in 15 minutes than the entire day before. Some say the announcements are excessive and we agree, but they also prove time and time again, it's the only way to gain ground on monthly cost. It only takes 10-12hrs or so to see donations drop off the grid entirely until the next announcement. This isn't coincidence and until we change our mindset on the overall support picture, it seems to be the only thing that works. I for one would like to see this change for the better as it would benefit everyone.
