f13.net

Keeping this short.

We broke. Donations at an all time low. Server is about $1,000 out from being paid for the year, due in a month or so. Halp!

If we get a thousand fast, I might get a new server though. Halp!

Donated some meager unemployed pennies.

Gentleman, Scholar, Pilot.

tossed a few coppers in the hat

10% of the way there, you all rule.

On a more personal note, if you used to play Magic and now have a bunch of cards sitting in a closet, garage, attic, water-damaged basement, wherever - contact me. Accepting those as donations totally unrelated to f13 itself. Thx.

I don't think that's going to count as a donation, Yego.

Is that Tupac riding a dolphin?

Yes, and me and Yeg are BFFs because of it.

(he's the dolphin)

Update: 34.x%-ish of the way there.

lol :awesome_for_real:

Please to donate more, as donations have tapered off. Red Giant Server Needs Food Badly.

Right before my holiday, so I'm not swimming in money, but since every little bit helps here you go.

I am told by schild that if he gets another $50 that he will take his thumb out of my blowhole.

Bump. Har.

Damn, I donated two hours too early. Hang on Yegolev, you will be saved eventually!  :awesome_for_real:

Tossed in what I could.

This cracked me up a bit:
This transaction will appear on your bill as "SCHILD".

Need moar.

Well, SCHILD is more appropriate than hookers and blow. Obviously.

What % we at and when is it due? I'd rather just donate in one go and time it with a pay.

I donated in toonies.

I tossed $25 in the hat. Hope yall get there soon.

We are 55% (bad at math, 58%ish) of the way there unless I find a coupon vastly superior to the ones available (will poke people at GD).

Donated.  I didn't notice that my monthly subscription had stopped in May.  Rectified.

Wow, a lurker that does a monthly donation! You put us all to shame, good sir.

The best subscribers are the ones that don't play.

Yegolev = Bobby Kotick?

A meager amount, but I kicked in what I could.

Added my pathetic contribution.

I guess I've lurked around here long enough to pay a little.

Enjoy!

Need more people on the money train.

Choo. Choo.

Paid my dues for pain and suffering caused.

Bobby's quotes are funny because he says what all the other executives think.  He's like the Sam Kinison of CEOs.

Someone has made a donation earmarked for the removal of my thumb from Yeg's blowhole.

Consider it done.

See you next year, dolphin.

Small donation added, but I have a question/request:  whatever happened to all the articles and front page reviews (even if just from the BiiFs)?  I worry that going away from that stuff could be the start of the downward spiral, and to be honest, I like this place and wouldn't want to see that.  I mean, people are busy and stuff, but is there no way back to that?

If I'm alone in the sentiment, feel free to ignore.

We are somewhere around 80% (a little bit above, actually) of the way there.

Thanks to all that have donated. You rule.

I'm aboard Mr Engineer!

Incoming $.

Dropped my 2 cents in the bucket.

(clink)

I will happily volunteer my services to write an article on any topic if it'll get us more server donations.  I make no guarantees that the article will be good.   :awesome_for_real:

This is a bad time for me.  Weddings Gifts to be bought, vacations just ending, and rent.

I will donate in a few weeks.

We're there. Thanks everyone! Donations between now and the next drive will go to the schild Hooker & Blow fund.

Kidding. They'll just sit there. Thanks!

Damn, people pulled together fast.

I'll still donate.

Little late, but payday is tomorrow and I'll be donating then.

Edit - rgr

I think that the whole point of a donation is to expect nothing in return.  Getting the discussion on these forums more than covers it.

Let's not get all conditional.  It will ruin the spirit of things.

If you're referring to my post, I don't intend it to come across that way.  I just have a fear that stagnation could lead to a bad place.  My donation was not conditional.

As far as "nothing in return", however, that was last year.  I fully expect we're all getting new board titles this year!

It was for Segoris.  He edited the post.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I threw in the meager amount I could spare. Being broke sucks.

I now want my donation conditionally depended on Nebu getting the grief title

- "Disgruntled Scientist, be thankful he's not mad... not yet" or maybe
- "Disgruntled Scientist, you wouldn't like him when he's mad"

How about, "Dr. Dreamcrusher, PHD."

Hit me up when I move to cheaper digs in late October.

Renting in NoVA SUUUUUCKS.  :oh_i_see:

I'm late but...
Throwing in the little I can for the entertainment and news this place has given me over time.
Thanks all.

lol, better!

Apologies for the confusion, the question and conditions were in the best interest of the server but not really a good idea. Anyways, my drop's in the bucket for next year.

Bit late to the party, I guess, but I donated what I found in the couch cushions.

Will be getting the new server this coming week. More donations will be accepted though. If you haven't and wish forgiveness for your sins, now is the time. Otherwise you're not getting into moonbounce heaven.

Mine is in...

Was the shirt thing a year or two back profitable?  Because I'd be down for another one of those.

Don't you ever bring up shirts! THEY NEVER EXISTED AND NEVER WILL!
 
:why_so_serious:

Would this be a good time to insert a joke about the f13.net front page?

We have a front page?

Yes we do.  And it appears something fresh is brewing over at Activision/IW!  :ye_gods:

EGADS MAN! It could be a shake down!

I think I'm one of the only people who bought the polo.

I'd have bought a shirt except for that whole business of F13 gang territory being directly North of where I live.

You live in Houston ?  :awesome_for_real:

Right by South Los Angeles, in the appropriately named South Gate, although I guess I should have been more specific since they're all basically Mexican Mafia franchisees.

Lurkers care too. :)

Late, and small, but something at least! x

Thats what she said?

 :facepalm:
