My Solution.

Post by Dev »

Well I was going to abandon this site, give up and try again at a later time.

Ya see since I started this site I just wanted to entertain but I have gotten nothing but hate mail from people who hated my work, and I got no supportive emails and got the hint no one was reading any of my comics so I simply thought "Fuck it I wont update then." then months past and still nothing and now I was just "Ok, I just wont renew it."

But then I remembered I hosted this forum with over one hundred registered users and over 23000 articles posted (good lord you girls can talk). Phe then put up the suggestion of keeping the site up by you girls paying and I can see by the posts that you girls would have indeed done that.

But as I tell some of my closest friends, "I'm the nicest son of a bitch you'll ever meet." i'm not about to drain your allowances just so you girls can have a place chat. So I will simply renew the subscription and just empty my own wallet. Its only 100 bucks, I spent more than that this month buying 2 video games I hate,(city of villians... god what the hell am I on?! and dead or alive 4... just a game of fighting boobs with plastic dolls attached... bouncy bouncy...) so i'm not the wisest with money.

However I will put up the idea of paying a small amount for more features on this website, such as access to a nexus subdomain with a good % of the memory with a chat room If you girls were to pay, you should get more than a little forum eh?

PS. Polls are fun. 8)

If its good and you smell feet... then are in a really weird position and should take a picture.

Free Arts? I love free arts. Actually a good gift art can put me in a good mood for a month or so.

*clings*

You are, like, seriously the best ever. I'd still be willing to pitch in, though, because, well, I like it here. And this may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but this is the longest I've ever stayed at one forum, ever. Yeah.

Also, I've seen your arts, and I will elbow anyone who tells you it's not good. Forcefully. In the ribs.

...would you accept donations anyway? Especially from those of us who also have an entire *site* benevolently hosted on your space? ::cough::

Dude, we're not all girls...

But seriously, if you're happy to keep things running here, then I'm happy to donate a little. And like you, $100 isn't really that much to me. I couldn't afford it every month, but I can donate a bit to keep things running.

Dev, that's amazing of you! Are you sure, though? I mean, I can still give you money for it, I feel bad hijacking your site and what not ... and besides, I like your comics. Who'd be assinine enough to send hate mail? Let me go sic my dragon on them. And my boyfriend owns DOA 4 though he's been on vacation all month and hasn't played yet ... my friends and I play DOA 3 obsessively, though I suck at it compared to my bf :lol: And it's not all boobs, there are some yummy men *wants hayabusa-babies* COV I've never tried, though don't let Shard hear you put it down *cackles* I want WOW so bad, but with semester starting soon I know it would be a very, very bad idea. Anyway sorry to derail your topic and once again you are my most favoritest person ever *tackleglomp*

I knew it wasn't $100 a month, Dev-dude. Merely having a random moment. I did a currency converter on the exchange rates as of today, and realised that $100 is actually genuinely nothing to me as long as I don't spend it too often... Plus, I had a nice Christmas bonus from work... although the impression I get is that it goes up the amount of time you've been there... so either the bosses are REALLY generous, or they REALLY like me...

Yay! *snugs the Dev*

I'd still be willing to donate something towards keeping the place running. I'd offer gift art too, but...

oh, heck, you want some semi-crappy gift art?

Wait, you've done more comics besides the one you posted up in the forum? Where...? o.o And... some people just don't share the same senses of humor/views/etc. But hate mail? ^^;

I definitely think this calls for a Dev Appreciation Day, and a mass flood of fan art from us.

My feet smell like dog piss. No wait... that was last week.

Anyway, I was reading your post with a o.O expression. You see, I frequented your site looking for updates. I may not have said so, which is probably what gets me into so much trouble. I lurk. Everywhere. No body hears comments from me so they think I'm not paying attention. I really do like your work and had your comic bookmarked.

Also, it might still be a good idea to donate what we can to show you that we're the nicest group of sons of bitches that you'll ever meet. :D That way you're not paying for OUR chatter.

What's your global handle on CoV? I'm @Tigeress. You can find me playing either Tetrika or Shackled Infinity. >:D And what you were on was the pure, blissful high of being evil. I love it.

Double-ditto! T__T Thanks for the link tho, Phe. Makes sense tho. My url-geekiness has failed me for the first time; I should have known... ;>>

I will dress up in green! I have so much green stuff... mostly lime green (and flames and Zim and and), but green it is... X3

Meh, Dev. Y'know what? I don't LIKE mooching off people. =/ Which feels like what we're doin' with you. So I think that we should find some way to pay you back, at the very least... But still, 'tis a nice gesture. =) *hugs*

Wowza, ok. First I want to say none of you are in debt to me, You've all been good guests on my site and you can upkeep yourself (By the way, all thanks for keeping this forum up and running should go to Phoenix and not me, your forgetting i'm the one that is responsible for the crash of the original forum, since then phe has been the one making sure this forum ran smoothly)

Now for this Dev Appreciation Day... I dont need a day of praise. And uhh I dont.. want you all dressing like its a bright st patricks day...

also my aim screen name is now available for you all.

And as for any ideas for the website any of you would like, I am always willing to listen, just send a instant message. Dont feel shy about that.

::slobbers Dev on the face::

Yes, I'll help donate to keep up this site and whatnot too :3

And OMGZORBACON! What server are you on in CoV? Probably not Champion :{ That's where I'm at. Currently I am deeeeeeep in PvP (Siren's Call mostly) with my Empathy Defender, who is the pocket healer of my boyfriend's ice/nrg Blaster. But we're leveling up an nrg/regen Stalker (his) and an ice/therm Corrupter (mine) to switch to when those stinky heroes have too much of a hold on the place.

My global's @Lakota if you want to say hi ever :}

and now I will stalk your comic and Sheezyness and try to figure out what species you are so as to make fan arts :p

tell us where to donate to! :p

Also I will find some place on this forum to post information about Dev including his species.
