Please let me, and the rest of the membership, know what you and Mez figure out on this issue, Cat.

Oh BTW, we exceeded our bandwidth max against today, in one area of this monster site, if you bitching posters on this subject, give a damn about these sort of issues, and would like to come up with some viable recommendations here.

Some people think you're nothing but a self-promoting troll Tom? Any thoughts on this?

PS I am not saying this is my opinion Tom. Just things I've heard around the old Inlatech water cooler.

I'm not self-promoting anything. Yeah, sometimes I rake my fingernails down the chalkboard, in true DLR fashion, but so what.

Nuff said.

Thanks for the post NDF. Always appreciate your thoughts.

Hey, I don't mind members, I greatly respect, beating on me once and a while, if I get too aggressive/no-it-all around here. It's just a web site. I don't lose any sleep over this place, lol.

And I don't mind if other Mods/members don't have the same belief regarding helping Sarge on this site's monthly costs, that have been eating on him, as he articulated in the Webmaster Feedback forum.

I don't have any special relationship with the man, or am doing this to kiss his ass. I am doing it because I want to, and I think it's the right thing to do, at a personal level. Nothing more.

Skipping over the 'defending your country' thing which is a thread in itself...

Fair enough I'm not privy to any inside info but I'm guessing that Sarge is getting far more help with the cost of the site now than he ever has in the past.

Everyone is now more than aware of how they can donate. I'm sure the Roth radio stuff has put a strain on things this month and we all appreaciate your $100 but posting everywhere donate money is in bad taste and not on. This is the RothArmy not the Sudan.

Also maybe people need to start thinking about a second donation.

Cheers!

[tomballin]

SM, FYI I didn't make the initial post about my $100 donation, Flash Bastard did when I PM'd him the copy of my donation in regards to our bet. I didn't expect him, nor did I give him permission to post my money order on this site.

Once it was out however, what the hell, might as well stick it in FB’s face to get him to live up to the bet, and the $200 he owes Sarge. FB said previously to me, via PM, he would honor his bet, and I have no reason not to believe him at this juncture.

The purpose of my posts on this subject, was not to toot my horn, but lean on Flash Bastard,,,,period. Second, I made the donation because I wanted to, and I thought it was the right thing to do with Sarge in Iraq, not to impress anyone around here. And, I will donate again shortly, because I want to, nothing else.

>>> I'm guessing that Sarge is getting far more help with the cost of the site now than he ever has in the past.

Yelp, getting far more help, but far more costs, too. Look, massive increases in broadband costs are a SERIOUS problem currently with all websites, not just R.A.

Everyone is going to have to figure out what to do about this problem, if they want their websites to survive. It’s that simple SM. Also, I understand, the site’s software needs to be upgraded to stop the instability and crash problems around here, and that takes time and money also.

>>>but posting everywhere to donate money is in bad taste and “not on”.

I respectfully disagree SM, and you are not grounded in the facts here, imo.

The only people I have respectfully asked to consider helping out on the donations, is people with a substantial volume of posts, that have been here a long time, usually over a year. There was one or two exception, in this regard, for specific reasons.

Of those people I asked, only ONE, gave me any shit about it. 85% of the others where responsive, some donated immediately, and some due to honest current financial issues, are going to donate in the next 45 days. Personally, I think it is really cool that simply asking some of our great veteran members for a donation, produced such a positive response. Some even gave me 5 Stars for reminding them, lol.

If the very few, that were not responsive to my respectful request, or the one that gave me shit about it, doesn’t like it, tough. If this site doesn’t mean enough to these certain people, to help out on the monthly costs, when they are substantial users of this site, again tough. And, I am not unsupport on this issue by certain people that matter around here.

I greatly appreciate you thoughts and post SM. Hopefully, my reply made some sense.

Roth On and keep up the awesome posts!

Ok, Bullshit, I have seen this going on for awhile and Ally has been taking the shit in stride.
I will get involved because we, as mods, are required to back each other up in situations just like this.
Now i dont have issues with you beyond this, in fact i respect your opinions, but don't tell me what i should and shouldn't get involved in anywhere on this site.
Ally is my friend, I understand her situation, which quite frankly is none of your business, and i'll not sit back while someone wages a personal attack against her for not donating.

And i also have no problems telling you that i am not involved with the interworkings of this site, I'm a Moderator, and I Moderate, and as such i will do whatever the hell is asked of me to serve this site to my best ability, so again, don't try to dictate a damn thing to me or anyone else here cause it ain't gonna fly, bro.

If i had my way, EVERYONE would have to pay for a subscription to access the goodies on this site, and THAT is my muh-fuckin recommendation to address the issues you are worried about.
In fact, that would be a sure fire way of getting rid of some of the self important busy bodies that troll this site for free, make them pay, they'll go away.....And i'd be all too happy to help a fellow mod pay their subscription IF they so desired.

Just because YOU have a donor tag, THAT doesn't give you 1 fucking right to ownership here, this ain't the fucking NASDAQ, Pal.
So get off her ass and just stick to what you know best, and that, according to YOU, is just about everything....Sorry, but that only means something in your own mind, not mine or anybody elses.

Happy Posting, Send me a note when you get your Webbie Bars, K?

[tomballin]

Forget it Cat,

hey Alley_Kat, I'm sorry, do what you wish in this matter. Personally, I don't care.

There you happy Cat.

No, i'm not happy...
I'm sick of people who troll this site with a destructive agenda, the same shit that pisses you off, bro.

And i don't see any reason for people to bitch about supporting the site in public, that shit needs to be in a PM or it just gives me the same impression the trolls give off.
There are so many damn alias'a running around here you never know who to trust, or if someone you consider a friend is ripping you to shreds under another name.

I know some folks just can't get along, that's a given, but man, the personal attacks below the belt just tick me off.
I am soooo glad that the moment i log off i don't give it another thought, but once that changes, hey, i'm fucking tailight's, i'm a Hudson Brother, I'm outta here.

Whatever, fuck it....................

[tomballin]

Yeah let's talk about destructive agendas, chief:

Kinda of like all the people that gave Mezro shit on his donation drive for the site, to help Sarge, hun

Or the two Mods slamming the shit out of Cato for doing his job in the Bootleg and Download Forum, that Sarge asked him to do, hun

You're right Cat, you fucking Mods figure this cost management-donation issue out, and the site stability issues out, and let the rest of us lowly troll members know what the fuck the deal is Ok!

Fuhgeddaboudit!!!

Will Do!

Roth On........

But a couple questions,
Did I give Mezro shit for his donation drive?
No, I donated again and will every chance i can.

Did I give Cato shit for doing his job?
Nope, i support my fellow and fellowette mods.

And again, I'm just a fucking mod, but if i am asked to do something I DO IT!

And my name isn't 'chief', so you can that condescending bullshit now...

Thanks, you may now return to your Rothing On!

I gave you shit after you gave me shit for not having a donar tag. You keep going after me. So fine, I'll tell you why I haven't donated.

My father is dying of cancer. He lost his job because he ended up in a hospital Dec-Jan and almost died. My Mom's job doesn't pay a whole hell of a lot. Dad was originally given to this April. Hey, this month! Right now he's not doing good at all and the doctor's might end up being right with their prediction.

I currently have two jobs in addition to going to school. My jobs go towards helping support the family, helping pay my tuition (which is not cheap by any means possible), buying myself clothes whenever I do get that luxury now (I've been living in t-shirts and jeans), and covering anything else I might need for school. My brother works to cover his costs, too, to help mom's money stretch further.

Mom was getting paid at first despite being out almsot all of Dec due to sitting at the hospital. Then the other higher up heard what the other one one was allowing and then made her claim family time, which means she doesn't get paid for the days she doesn't come in.

Have you ever had your father faint in your arms and see his eyes roll to the back of his head, handle your mother who is hysterical, and get help? Wait -- of course you have. You're the expert on everything here. That's right.

If I have that going on, why does it seem like I'm always on here, you ask? My father sleeps on the couch because he coughs all night long and he'll keep Mom up all night. So he opted to sleep down here. I told him he could have mine, but he didn't want it. Anytime he sleeps he can, and has several times, start choking. I need to watch him so nothing happens to him. Plus I need to watch so he doesn't fall when he goes up or down any stairs. I stay up til about 4-5 am (whenever Mom gets up to start here day.) Then I get to sleep til 10 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wed I get to sleep til 11. Then I go to school. I work at school. I get paid for working in different departments. I don't post often when I'm working, but I do log in to see what's going on randomly. I tend not to log off, so sometimes it says I'm online even though I'm not. I'm not sure if the board tracks the IP you log in at, but if so, there's your evidence right there.

I haven't even thought about anything for my wedding yet. That's been postponed because when my father does indeed go, I need to be here for my Mom like I am for her now cuz she's going to lose it big time. Right now I'm the rock of the family. Everyone is leaning on me and expecting me to be trong for them. Hell, there's one thing I do know -- my 59-year-old father won't be walking me down the ailse and that breaks my fucking heart. He means the world to me. I have to sit here and randomly walk over to the couch and help him out (which embarasses him cuz he's a proud guy) and then come back here to assholes like you who complain about why I'm a mod and haven't donated to the Goddamn fuckin' Roth Army.

Even if I did give a small donation, Sarge has already announced that I won't get a donar tag. You have to give a certain amount and up to get that.

But hell, I'm being selfish to Sarge. I'm sorry. You're right Tom, I don't deserve to be at this site. Sarge can feel free to demod me for my non-donation.

So there ya go. Now you'll post how it doesn't mean anything and once you've forgotten this, you'll go back to stalking my non-donor ass. And now everyone on the site knows where I am when I'm not here for weeks at a time. Let everyone who hates me go ahead and just rip me apart for this. I don't fucking care anymore. I'm tired of people saying that it is just a messageboard for everything else and then when it comes to Ally's fucking donation, it's this huge problem and sin against the internet.

I'm sorry helping my family comes first Tom and everyone else who has a problem with me.

Now please leave me the fuck alone. Like I told you before, if it bothers you so fucking much, make a poll and go tell Sarge to demod me.

And now I know I'm open season for taunts.
