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 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.  |

This is a bad time for me. Weddings Gifts to be bought, vacations just ending, and rent.
I will donate in a few weeks.

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 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" |

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.

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.

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

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

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 ? 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. |
