Oh, Hello.

modeps · 10-01-2008, 06:52 PM

So, after quite a long deliberation today, discussing with several parties, I've decided that I can't make a decision in CoG or EvAv and will be straddling the party line.

My primary posting will still be in the news section of EvAv, but I will also be coming around here to say hello and what not... particularly in the Weight Loss Club thread (hey, can we get a health/fitness section up in this bitch?)

I've come to enjoy most of you IRC'ers and while I was playing TF2, it was truly a great time. I'd just like to say one final thing. I'm sorry the fracture happened.

This might be a bit of a case of pooping in a thread, but... I just can't see how anyone can stay over there considering what the man did with donation money, let alone enabling that behaviour by helping the site.

Aggort · 10-01-2008, 07:37 PM

I'll be bouncing for people's sake, but it seems the vast majority I give a rats ass about have made it here.

Karak · 10-01-2008, 07:38 PM

Good to see ya.

I didn't start this thread to discuss my decision, just that I'm here and there. If you look down upon my choice, that's your prerogative.

Many of us have no clue what your talking about.

EvAv received something like $7200 in donations, and the site only takes a few hundred to host. Bap and others who have traveled for the site, and bought stuff for giveaways and such, were never given any of that money. Where did it go?

:rolleyes:

Just what I heard, anyway.

fitbabits · 10-01-2008, 08:14 PM

Welcome, modeps...

I wish you the best of luck at Evil Avatar.

Feel free to stop by any time - you'll always be welcome.

So that is the official "backroom" reason? The straw that broke the camel's back?

First thing that came to mind... How the fuck could he not have a decent computer?

That's fair enough. That is indeed my prerogative, and if that's your choice, that's your choice.

e: spelling

Fubl · 10-01-2008, 08:22 PM

LOL Now that was good

Bingley Joe · 10-02-2008, 11:46 AM

People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth...

It's ridiculous how à propos that is on so many levels.
EDIT: woops.. meant to say -- especially what he says at the end

Glad to see you here, modeps.

TheFlyingOrc · 10-02-2008, 11:49 AM

LOL we'll have him soon.

You should be sorry, it was all your fault!!!

(That was a total joke, of course.)

Wait, so is there truth to this? I haven't heard this whole part of the story. That sucks.

Yes, except the donation level was higher than that in, I think, a 13 month space. So, that's just the last 13 months or so...who knows about earlier than that.

Also, hosting cost a couple hundred or so per month. Now do some math...and the donation amount does not include the ad amount he makes which we have no clue on (we can only guess).

Bap and fits have also gone on record saying they spent about $10k a piece during their time at EA going on various trips and other things and not being reimbursed for it even after constant promising of such a thing. The only thing they got out of it was bap got a PS3 I think.

Evil will no doubt refute that or, like he did with bap and fits, say that he doesn't discuss site finances (even though most of it comes from donations by the community).

Wilkz07 · 10-02-2008, 02:07 PM

Screw the EvAv (after what i heard what happend, even though i didn't donate it was still a dick thing to do).

Plus I always enjoyed reading Fox and bapenguin's reviews. so i'm switching to CoG.

(how do you embed youtube vids like whats post above?)

You know, if this becomes a concern in the future, it might not be a bad idea for CoG to incorporate.

Seriously. The man has no respect whatsoever for any of the people posting or contributing to the site.

I just don't understand the mindset of staying on somewhere where the man in charge thinks so little of those "beneath" him.
