well, if we have money in the future, we can use that. Yes?

**komodo** · 09-06-2005, 06:00 PM

Definately.

So until then I'll work on the UB email accounts and UB Garages.

Speaking of that, the email accounts are ALMOST ready. I have everything working except it's all cleartext. I want to have it SSL/encrypted before we go public with it. It's going to work with webmail OR pop3, meaning you can also configure your outlook client to use it, if you want.

i'd donate some green for the sake of advertising. It'd be worth it in my eyes. i love this place.

Haha, what about trying to buy a half-page ad in Roundel or something, and on the ad list every member's name who donated to make it happen. haha
(kind of like Firefox did with the NY newspaper ad)

What else can we do for the UB garages though? It needs some tweaking. Maybe allowing the user to enter custom HTML?

that sounds good, I would even donate with the small amount of money i make working at ledo pizza

**Chris** · 09-06-2005, 06:17 PM

custom html would be okay unless it caused problems from people trying to use improper code because they're incompetent....

I would be willing to donate some to that cause, perhaps we can find out what an add would cost.

**Longhairedhippy** · 09-06-2005, 06:42 PM

indeed. I would almost certainly be willing to donate.

Seems cool. I think it would be cool if you could put a couple videos there and maybe be able to write a paragraph about your car/ mods you have done instead of just listing them.

**Red_Rocket** · 09-06-2005, 08:35 PM

yea i think that you should be able to list all the work youve done on it , and have the garage a part of rate my car or something

We need to get Mike Jones on here, then have him rap about UB on one of his songs -- he does after all have a sweet ass 645 coupe.

**Red_Rocket** · 09-06-2005, 09:00 PM

yea he can say "Ub.....Ub......Ub........Ub" like he says "mike jones......mike...... yea you get the point

**Torque** · 09-06-2005, 09:02 PM
