I fucked up.

Okay, a lot of things are fucked.
1. I have precisely $2 to my name.
2. I can't change the PayPal account associated with our DigitalOcean account.
3. The PayPal account currently attached is TinkerPox's dad's, meaning we can't obtain funds from it.
4. There's only enough money in the account to pay for another ~15 to 20 days of hosting.
What now?

Looked into it a bit further. We can use a credit card, but that won't be happening unless one of us purchases one of those prepaid GreenDot cards or similar. Which I can't personally do.
Also, Proto changed the credentials to his adf.ly account before he gave me access, which means I can't withdraw funds for another month or so (since apparently adf.ly locks the payment thingy until then).

Well the host is the prob ? Then contract another host or create a new contract using a new proper money account. Im more interested to know how the transfer of the forum itself is gonna happen.

I have one of those prepaid credit cards, no money ATM tho, but I think I should do banking stuff fairly soon anyway, so I might be able to fund ~20-30€
Edit: turned out I had 80€ on my bank account. I made a transaction of 50€ to my prepaid-credit card. I should be finished a day from now.
So I'd be able to give you 30 bucks and still have the 20€ left I need for something else.
How long would that last?

That should do until the end of the month, which is all we need if Adf.ly works.

Our current hosting is $5/month. I'd like to keep our current host, but I'll almost certainly have to make a new account with the same provider.

hmm. My 30 bucks would then last 8 months (=41 $ according to yahoo finances) by itself if we don't get too much tax, which should keep us going for quite a long time is we take into account the income from proto's adfly.

I'm finally 18, so I might be able to get a prepaid credit card. Only have 25$ left though, Welsh flags are expensive...

The US have higher age restrictions for everything.
Well, everything except getting in a metal box and going in 100 km/h along with other metal boxes.

My host is still paid off until about a year from now.
I also have a steady source of income and a card, but I'd be kinda unwilling to pay for DigitalOcean because it's overkill for what we have here atm.

So just to clarify finances are streamed to TinkerPox's account or we need to make a new contract which means transferring the forum files ?
