You don't have to pay me a dime to support the site. Just browse it without any ad blocking software. If you feel frisky, you can go ad-free for a reasonable price. Both of these things will be *alot* more obvious when the 2.0 skin makes its way over here. (See a sample 2.0 skin to get a feel for what I mean, paying particularly close attention to the top right and the nav: http://bigeast.csnbbs.com )

An excellent effort by all! Thanks again Bleeds and thanks to all who chipped in some $$.

We have immortalized http://www.NIUDogPound.com!!!

Great job people!

If we get any people who still want to donate lets put it towards a brick.

They start at $200 so its not too bad.

The students called and asked for money yesterday, thanks to this, I got them off my back for a while hahaha.

Plus you can get a little bit bigger brick for a little more money and have 2 or 3 lines of wording on it.
We got my NIU alum oldest son a brick for his birthday...it's at the Barsema Alumni Center. He loves it....being a part of his beloved NIU for many many years.

It is very nice seeing your name and thoughts permanently etched at NIU. Sure beats what I scraped on the walls by the Huskie Stadium urinal trough and several other urinals in unnamed locations around campus.

On the chat today it was mentioned there is less than 100k left to be raised for the CPC.

Great!

It SHOULD be fully funded by the spring game.


That also means that the 1mil from Dr Chessick may be going elsewhere...

The West wall is going up today.

I wonder if that would be for suites?

That would be nice to have 1.5mil+ in the bank for a 15-20mil project.

Especially if we can fund 75% or so with bonds.
