Clarification Requested (Donations)

It's not like bobo came to your house and forced $50 out of you at gunpoint. He made a request for cash and some of us thought it was a worthwhile cause.

$50 is fuck all money in the grand scheme of things. I donated not to become some shareholder or get an email proxy or for some gay little icon, I donated because I've spent almost 5 years posting on these forums for a total cost of nothing and I didn't feel it was such an onerus request to donate a bit of cash to the upkeep of the place, especially if that meant keeping the site running.

So what if bobo has taken the money and gone on holiday? I couldn't give a fuck what he's spending it on. God knows how much of his own money he's spent on this site over the years and for what? He doesn't even post here much any more, he gets nothing in return but a bunch of whiny kids having a go at him for taking a couple of weeks to restoring some backup nobody will ever read and for not providing some kind of fucking budget so you lot can pick holes in his spending habits.

I just can't believe how fucking ungrateful some of you cunts are. bobo owes you nothing. No explanations, no time commitments and no money. If you're not happy to wait a bit until he's sorted some stuff out then please, fuck off. Gamingforce will be all the better for each one of you mardy fucks that never comes back.

Quoted for truth, motherfuckers.

A lot of you are doing some hefty bitching for things that don't really NEED to be bitched about.

If you don't like what Bobo may or may not be doing with your cash, don't give any to him. Just as you wouldn't give any to a cause you didn't support.

We get it, you don't trust him, okay okay okay. Some of us are appreciative that he bothered running the place for no cost to us for years upon years. Personally, I've gotten enough out of this place to be able to put up with him. Yea, it can get annoying. Yea, its not always honest. But this place is WORTH a little hassle.

He's gone up and beyond the call of duty in the past, but now, you're all ready to crucify him over very little? How many of you bitching actually GAVE a substantial amount of money to him?

I gave plenty. And I am not feeling too horribly jilted. And I am easy to jilt.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Same here. We could put advertisements on the bottom of the page and that would be it! That's enough! No more problems ever for the rest of GFF's life. More can be done with ad money on GFF than can be done with donations. And I guarantee you if you people hadn't have given all your money to bobo and had given it to someone who gives a fuck about this community then GFF would be running at full functionality at this very moment.

No one is arguing about the AdSense, Mikey. I am pretty sure we ALL agree that it should be done.

But ultimately, its not our decision. Not you, I, or anyone else can FORCE Bobo's hand on this one. We've all said our piece about it, and he has heard us. If he runs out of money again, well. Thats his problem. You can chose to give more or NOT give more. Its not hard.

But you fucks are like, "Well, shit, I can PAY FOR GFF. That would be so much better! It is so much better to have bobo run out of money every 6 months and lose everything and have to pay thousands of dollars to get GFF back!"

Seriously. WHAT THE FUCK crawled up your stank ass and decided to become a whining bitch about this.

YOU CAN EITHER PAY OR YOU REFUSE TO. BOTH ARE VALID FUCKING OPTIONS.

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE HOW HE DOES BUSINESS, DONT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM.

Wow. You'd think AMERICANS would have this concept down by now. SHIT.

Quote:

Seriously. What the hell is wrong with you? Have you looked at any other website on the entire freaking WWW lately? Because they all have advertisements.

Yea, isn't that strange? For years, Bobo has been nice enough to actually NOT PUT ADS UP because he could afford NOT to. The MINUTE he needs a little cash, you fucking crucify him.

You can't really be that ungrateful, can you Mikey?

Maybe he'll put them up. Maybe he won't. WHO CARES? You're not going to be dishing out any cash anytime soon for the cause - how the fuck does it affect you? Your board goes down? Nothing lost on YOUR end, right?

Maybe you'll run off and find a board where you like the management better and has LOTS of ads. At least then, you wouldn't bitch so much!

Quote:

It's such a fallacy to point out that we are bad users of GFF because we advocate a system where no one has to pay anything at all. OH SO AWFUL. So awful that all our friends would be able to keep their money!

Its our choice to pay. I am completely happy giving money to people for service, if they need it.

Just like its your choice to NOT pay.

Fact of the matter is: GFF has been free for years. YEARS. And you've come away with so much from it. Bobo asks us all for a little understanding in a hard time, and you can chose to help or you can chose not to. (For the record, I did not donate this third time.)

If it continues at length for the amount of time I've been registered in the past, THEN I will flip out, and simply LEAVE.

And shut up, Miles. We get that you are like super admin and super doner and super everything. You don't have to be super righteous asshole also.

Is that mutiny I see? AHAHAHHAA DRAMA~

There's nowhere I can't reach.
