listen up folks, and listen up good...
Sanfam has put a slow drip feed system of acid onto the chains which bind me to this block of concrete...
I dont know exactly when its going to weaken enough for me to bust loose but you better hope you've been very good boys and girls.. cos if you aint...
I'M GONNA EAT YAH !
Why am I so pissed off ?
Cos' you bunch of layabout loafers, freeloaders and lazy shites are going to cost us our home. As you may have seen in some of the threads I've posted, Firstones is in desperate need of funds to keep this place open, and for ongoing costs.
You fuckers with IOU's and long credit slates better cough up and cough up soon. You come here, drink the beer, fraternise with the wenches and glass boys, watch endless reruns of 'Be my little Pak-ma-ra' and walk in and out as you please... while the place falls around down your ears.
Here's the deal...
you want to sit in the Zocalo downing brews and shooting the breeze... you bloody well pay for it.
your virtual stein, beer mug or shot glass will cost you $2.00
your barstool is $5.00
your own personal bowl for peanuts/salty snacks is $2.00
tips for the bar wench/glass boys are $1.00
you're going to get an addition to tagline...
'full' member... in other words you've paid for your mug, your seat, your beerbitch/boy and your never ending bowl of pretzels
ten bucks is not much, not much at all. We need to survive boys and girls, this place is a hallowed hall to many, to the living, and the sadly departed...
you think this place will stand forever without a speck of maintenance ?
it wont...
Are you going to miss ...the millions multicoloured marks on the ceiling from the beachball... the cage at the back to put Warleader in when we drag him up from the infirmary for some entertainment... the scorched walls from the fiery debates about everything and nothing... the port/interface where Biggles tank sits when he drops in...my paintshop leading off from the back door...the Vorlon chamber next to the Bar where we go to get our heads fucked with... the huge holes in the front wall from the forks on the vorklift when Rick et al keep missing the brakes...the Chaos Lounge where Ahash writes lurid/java html trips better than any Dust trips... the genuine art gallery over on the far wall covered in cool art of all descriptions... the brass plaques above the wall for Argone and those who are no longer with us...the cracks in the ceiling from the uncountable spacenaval wars weve had overhead... the secret back room stuffed with ordinance for the guerilla campaigns we've fought against Vivendi/Havas/Seirra/Shadows... the ITF shrine where we all go to pray, to light a candle... the IFH den in the cellar where the guys with funny accents do thier best to capture whats left of our hopes and dreams and turn them into a game... the Finns out the back in the huge commerical freezer, dressed in Hawaiian shirts saying "Cold ? You poor Americky persons don't know what cold is."...the big chair in the corner to which Capt Simmonds is strapped so he can recieve his public fruits vegetables and eggs... the dartboard with Jane-aways face on it... the nude pics of Ivonova on the back of the doors in the gents dunnies... the large foam hand of death, the 'Thermonuclear Fwappinator' under the bar which we know a pissed off Rick or Jack will use on us when we misbehave... the carefully hung anvils under the remote control of Sanfam all carefully placed and guided by wire to land upon those who deserve it... Ahashes 'tanks only' parking space out front...the stadium sized seating for lurkers...Refa's S and M dungeon...
this place has rung with cheers and screams of delight... with howls of despair and rage...with the sounds of thousands of voices singing the same booming anthems, the same sorrowful dirges...
What the fuck are you then hmmm ?
A fair weather Firstone ?
Do you not realise how soon this place will collapse ?
Are you going to toast marshmallows in the ashes ?
I don't particularly care how you do it... pimp your sister to your friends for five bucks a go... walk the street yourself in fishnets... beat up some trek fans for thier lunchmoney... just find a way to make some donations...
every little bit counts...
from now on... I'll haunt the boards... until the dues are paid... shake the jar in your face... ask you for your reason not to donate right now... and your whole family of 56 better have leukemia and AIDS at once... cos normal excuses wont cut it... get off your butts and get a money order from your local post office, steal Mummies credit card...
Do it... no questions... no buts... no whining... pay for the place you supposedly love...
or face the consequences...
me.
And anyone who has any idea of who I am knows that should indeed chill your blood...

I seem to remember a quote about kind words and a big stick... and that the big stick often netted more than just the kind word...
Thanks Alpha.. I'll make sure you get your stool/mug/bowl/glass bitch : engraved/tattooed..:)
[b]I've done my part, donated 20$ (just spent most of my money yesterday, else i would've donated more).[/b][/QUOTE]
wich was, btw, before SB's rant, so all his swearing and stuff didn't actually do anything to convince me ;)
Also, stop shouting SB, or I won't donate anything.
[B]Ok, I could donate some, but IMO couldn't this wait unil after christmas? I got 60 euros at my bank account and I still have to buy christmas gifts for my family. [/B][/QUOTE]
Im in the same boat there, but i get my next student loan payment after christmas, so hows say i wait till then and put in $20?
Screw it, where are the donations going? Sanfam, if you're cool with it, PM me your home address and I'll post you $10 via airmail after Xmas.
Regards,
Morden

Sanfam,
I had an idea for donating and helping making sure that the needed amount comes in.
How about assigned donation "slots"? Figure what it takes on a monthly basis to keep this site running and divide that into 10 slots. Ask people to sign up for slots across for each month.
For example if its $100 per month, there would be 10 - $10 slots. If people signed up for only one slot per year, it would require a 120 people to sign up, but I am sure that there are many people who would sign up for multiple slots. A person could also sign up for one slot each month over several months, or a block of slots once or twice a year.
Reminders could be sent out to the donor in each of the slots two weeks before the beginning of the month to remind them of what they signed up for. As transient as people tend to be on the internet also open a couple alternate slots each month for someone to sign up for incase you do not receive a response.
All people who sign up will receive some sort of recognition, such as a special tag under their name.
I realize this will take a good deal of administration, but I think it would go a long way to level out donations and reduce the need for regular "fund drives" when funds are low.

I can't wait until we get the auctions and other income sources going, to make this site self-sufficient.
[B]I would say have them read the forums for a couple of days to see we arn't total strangers, but they'd probably come out even more scared of us than of total strangers. :D [/B][/QUOTE]
Good point!
I'll agree completely to that.

They would never let me touch a PC again if they met half the people I know online. (Hopefully Cable Guy is reading this, because he's one fvcked up mofo :D)

Me ? or Refa ? :D
