This being sent to flamecore, the genre that will probably be deleted, could be the ultimate in strange irony.

It's cool that the topic got so many donations earlier though. Maybe if my check is big enough I can probably help out too. Should of earlier, but oh well.

yeah I have to get paid then look and see what I have extra to throw as a donation.

It is a shame that this foum has just turned into a place for people to argue with each other and call each other dirty names. I mean, seriously, almost every thread posted on this site turns into a girl-fight.

Debate has always been on this site, people just take it far to personally now. That results in people messaging mods or things being said that cross the line :/ Wasn't always that way.

Because you sit yourself on a highorse and have a tone towards talking down to everyone else, when you are no better than anyone.

I do not even know you. I must reiterate, I seriously have no idea who you are, I don't know anything about you other than the fact that you quote my posts in some topics and start telling me I'm wrong or insulting me or putting down my opinion. To the best of my knowledge I've never engaged in a conversation with you or even had a debate with you or had a problem with you.

Let's just assume I was a "sitting myself on a high horse" let's assume I was the most arrogant person in the world and I went around belittling others and telling everyone how much better I was than them... even if that was the case, why do you care?

Now let's cut the crap. This was to remind people there's a way to fund the site, particularly because a large source of funding was cut.

If you can't donate, click some ads but don't be obsessive over it as some of us will vouch that you can also get into trouble for that, too.

I'd love to see how much you donated

If you really want to know, go ask Scragg. This goes for anyone who's that concerned with how much I donated.

Good. You donated.

Typical Voter Logic:
You can't talk about voting unless you are voting.
Tweek Donation Logic:
You can't talk about donating unless you donate.

Apparently FFXI has a BOMB attached to their servers and it's...going to blow!

Not that I disagree, if you get preachy about donating you should donate...but not donating to something like this right away isn't going to be the end of the world.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot more time pressing funding programs that you could donate to that have that kind of time-line...but ehhhh.
no-one is going to die if ffxiah doesn't get the bills paid so it shouldn't be taken in such a serious tone as tweek seemed to see it.

Reminds me of Tweek raging at flion for saying he wanted to punch someone.
Apparently with Tweek you can only act or not act.
You cannot be in the process of doing something, or consider doing something, or feel like doing something or he'll rage out on you.

Yes, I fully support of the "If You Didn't Vote, Don't Complain" mentality.

You can't talk about donating unless you donate.

As for the comparison with what I said to this site and participation a simple analogy would be someone who went around to rallies and asked people to register to vote and support a candidate and then they choose to not vote AND not donate towards that candidate. I would feel the exact same way about that situation as I would this. How could you take someone like that seriously?

Also I am not urging people to donate or not donate.. I'm simply saying if you're going to spend the time making a thread like this or tell people how much you support the idea then those particular people should donate.

the bolded is the same as saying you can't talk about donating unless you donate.
it's a hateful attitude endorsed by those who lack empathy.
which is pretty funny.
ya'll care about the dollar signs getting donated more than what you'd be donating to in the first place, and that is reflective upon the amount of commentary you've provided for said things.

Sect is "in the process" of doing it.
So since he is planning on making a commitment that should be fine.
But you just want to question his reasoning as to not doing it YET.
but that's not any of your business in the first place.

I would like to point out that the curse has a few pros and cons(mostly cons)I've noticed.

Pro
Partying
Great choice in beer

Con
Eyesight so horrible bats make jokes about being as blind as you.
Partying to much.
The whole distraction from classes.
Theres more for this list I'm just lazy.
