I have a lot to be thankful for today. I have an awesome new apartment, a silly dog named after a video game character no one knows about, my reputation for being the worst mod of all time, and my lovely beard. Most of all, I am thankful for the slave labor I am forced to do here at Blue Gartr Forums.
As one of the largest and most influential Gartrs online, a lot of people ask me, "Dole, you must get so much cool shit being a modfag." The truth is that we don't. We recieve a 5x5 room with a hole to pee in, melted snow Ragns collects once a day, and a Macbook Wheel.
We're not a big Gartr. We don't waste money. There's only Bercus, Blackice, Blazer, Callisto, Cephious, Dakpluto, Kaeko, Khamsin, Not Kuno, Qalbert, Septimus, SIlverbreeze, Tekki, Tonko, Tyche, Sonomaa, Falisa, Ksandra, Alleya, Isladar, Epical, Ragns, and myself on staff.
I'm not one to brag, but Clockw0rk(of umvc3 brady guide fame) is my friend on facebook, and has actually posted here ONE time that he is aware of. That's incredible. But my point on that is, think about it.
Sonomaa has been going around the office about our annual Dolenation Drive.. He's been wanting me to make appearances as the horse God, kick Aurara, remove spam bots, you know, the normal modly activities. There's only so many times I can kick Aurara in one day, and I don't want to suddenly wake up 10 years from now knowing that's all I can do.
Do you have any idea how much it costs to replace my horse head after everytime some lurker rips it off my head and takes it?
If Wikipedia can get like, 30 babillionsmillions dollars, why cant Blue Gartr get 3-4 thousand? I mean, we're just like Wikipedia. You can edit everyone's posts. Oh wait, that's just me and the rest of the staff. I jest, but really. We need money to survive right now. If we can't get that, there's only so many times we can ban Senoska to decrease faggotry on this board.
If we don't get enough funds, we can't grow. That's BAD. In the last year we've outgrown our servers, gotten BG Bucket, BG Chat, and we got Derock a Minecraft server to live in. Once we secure the funds for the year, we will try to improve even more. Maybe we will even have a suggestions board(that really is just a furnace to keep my Macbook Wheel nice and warm.)
Do you think I don't do anything that deserves compensation? I ruin your fun every time you do something funny. I ban you when you did nothing wrong. I laugh at you daily. I also do my best to make this board stay wonderful, and unfortunately even I get a modslap just like every other mod on this forum. If you think a postcount spammer gets punished for shit, you have no idea what we go through when we make a bad call in the mod forums.
I think I've written enough to bore you, so I will get to the point. Please give and continue to gib us moni until the donation drive is over. We appreciate every dollar you give, and thank you greatly for your support.
Okay, now I'm really going to get to the point. In day 1 of the donation, we received $1000 dollars. ONE THOUSAND! IN DAY ONE! Day 2 we received $600. So far in day 3 we have gotten $195. Guys, we appreciate the donations so much and thank you for your support. But could you find it in your heart to continue to donate?
We have prizes! Secret big stuff coming soon!
However, I am a kind horse god. I will reveal a surprise prize that is rather intricite, yet desired by many. Eons ago we had a poster named BrillCS who was a glorious bard that regaled us in his fine stories of yesteryear. There was a huge argument on the board about his name needing to be Brill Weave, and it tore BG apart. His name is now Brill, and we no longer speak of that anymore.
HOWEVER#2. If you donate again, and post in this topic with proof of your donation. In the name of the House of Weave, I shall personally guarantee a name change from Brill to Brill Weave. I'm not asking for much in the name of weave, we do not need much to rise again like a Phoenix with 5 bars. We require $500. I understand the majority of you have already donated or are donating as soon as a check comes in, but please. The house of Weave must rise again. Even if its $5, help the House of Weave.
This was my personal appeal, Please read. If this post has moved you in any way to donate, or would like to donate again but can't... please make this your sig for the time being. Here is the code to do so.
