Major Announcement!
« on: December 22, 2018, 12:02:45 PM »
Although I am sorry this post had to come right before Christmas, it is necessary, in pursuit of total transparency, to inform our great members of the overwhelming cost this site is having on our wallet.

I recieved noticed the other day of our Annual server bill and let's just say I am not sure if we are going to be able to handle it. 

As you can see from the Picture of the invoice below, the bill is massive!  A whopping $83.88!  :o

Merry Christmas to all!   :laugh: :laugh:

Any members with experience on how to raise money for a bogus need let me know.   

At least we can have a good laugh about it!  LOL

 ;D  Great stuff!

I can't help but get a little  >:( just thinking about the all the lies from that other place.

Once again I'm gonna say thanks guys for this site.  It has saved many a "deplorable" from not having an online home based on wood.

Kirk
We know that you have inflated the price and doctored that invoice  :laugh: :) ;D just so that it looks like it cost so much more to run the site than it really does so that you can come begging, hat in hand  :o ::) for money and donations and I don't know all what so that we will feel bad for you and your situation. 
We know that you are restricted in your activities so that you can not have the normal previous employment yet you dug an amazing ditch by hand in one afternoon that was very long (can't remember how long) and had posters comment on how they wish they could do that level of activity.

Oh sorry!! I forgot which forum I was thinking about. >:D :-X

I am almost positive the hard drive will crash somewhere and everyone needs to give until it hurts so we can get the forum up and running again when it happens......  :P

So which one of you will be the funky that goes around "unbeknownst" to Kirk begging for handouts in his name?

LOL  - I forgot that tactic was played.   

Private message:  Hey, we are working behind the scenes to raise some funds for Jeff but don't want him to know. (never mind they sent this in a private message on the forum where he can see it).  It's our way of showing our appreciation for all the work he does for us and with all the family problems and medical conditions, it's the least we can do.  Can we count you to help.......and keep quite about it?

Well I was never privy to that "other" forum as I showed up here about the same time I found that one and you guys spared me the trouble! Thanks..

Not sure I'd post your address for all to see though Kirk! Just sayin!
