eleet Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 After exactly 1 week of downtime, AE returns!!!!!!!!!!!1111ONEONEONEONE Now for an explanation of WTF happened: As you may have noticed, our hosting account got suspended. jclayhosting, our webhost, had forgotten to pay their bill, as had we. This resulted in jclayhosting's reseller account getting suspended, and our account getting suspended as well. That's all been sorted out and all the bills have been paid. However, I must give credit where credit is due. jclayhosting owed the company that they own a reseller account with a total of $93. AE owed about $50 of this (yes we're cheap bastards). Shorty after jclayhosting's reseller account had gotten suspended, U-1, having heard news of this, saved the day. U-1 donated the full $50 that AE owed jclayhosting. It should be noted that this isn't the first time U-1 has saved Accelerated Evolution. Over the past year and a half, U-1 has donated a total of $160 on numerous occasions (such as when we had to buy IPB). Wind and I would like to give a very special thanks for U-1 for continuously saving our asses. AE, say hello to your new Admin, U-1. P.S. We fucking missed AE's 2 year Birthday by 1 day... damn hosting company. Link to comment

amy Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thank you so much to all the admin especially BRIAN, OMFG THANK YOU <3 and I'm really glad we have A-E back ^___^ I have no social life without this website Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I was thinking that it is perhaps a good idea to create a chart, or something like that, on AE to show what the donations are being spent on. The down time seemed odd to me. Link to comment

Svenska Aeroplan Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 OMG FINALLY *Sexes U-1* Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 You guys don't give enough crdit to the other people that donated, and no offense brian but I don't think you should be able to buy admin status. Agreed, especially since it is fairly difficult to understand some of his posts and he hasn't even been tested as a mod, has he? Link to comment
eleet Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Brian owns the board. Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Brian owns the board. Then it shall become more incoherent and irreverent then ever before! *cues music* Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 go b-dawg hmm... how much did he donate last time AE needed a shitload of money? i vaguely remember him and Kreutz kicking down a lot Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Kruetz, Mith, Nutty, R.T., Buki, and U-1 have all donated, but noone gives them any credit because they didn't donate a large amount all at once. Perhaps you get credit for Wind's mini-studio for his one-man band project? Link to comment

Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 So $160 is the going rate for admin privileges? Or am I going to have to "outbid" Brian for his spot? Link to comment
eleet Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 U-1 is a nice guy, he's mature and grown up. He's pretty reasonable. Try telling me he doesn't fit the position or he's not suitable for it. And anyone who's ever donated, has always been acknowledged. The majority of all our donations were for IPB. This is the first donation to AE in about 14 months. Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 He doesn't fit the position and he's not suitable for it. There. I second that. He's too easily offended to be an AE admin. Link to comment
eleet Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Ok. So you're telling me he's going to go nuts, start deleting topics and posts, and just destroy the whole fucking board? That'll happen. Link to comment

The Lone Magician Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Can't everyone just be happy that AE is back? Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Can't everyone just be happy that AE is back? Nah, too much to complain about. Link to comment
Kreutz Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Kruetz, Mith, Nutty, R.T., Buki, and U-1 have all donated, but noone gives them any credit because they didn't donate a large amount all at once. When I donated to defeat piracy last year, I asked Wind not to make a huge deal out of it. Personally, this big purple tag under my name is more than enough. Furthermore even if all donators got automatic admin status, I don't wanna be an admin, since every board I admin ends up going out of business. U-1 has continually pulled through for AE, so I think a little thanks are in order. I'm a little confused on whether admin status is a blessing or a curse, so let's just say it's cool and give them the clap, alright? Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I don't think Otacon is fighting for other donators to recieve admin status. He just finds it questionable to reward someone for giving more than others and that the amount given shouldn't determine whether the act is highly appreciated or not. Link to comment
Kreutz Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Are you arguing with the clap? No one argues with the fucking clap. The clap is the law. Link to comment
eleet Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 It's mainly the fact that's he done so much for us. He's contributed to webhosting costs twice, and he's contributed to the cost of the forum's software. And we didn't specificly give him admin solely based on the fact that he donated a large amount of money. U-1 has been with AE since the beginning. He's also not an asshole like some people, but a rather kind person. Kind enough to donate a total of $160 from a few hard earned paychecks to a few random guys online to help out their website. You might claim that he's a very emotional person, but what relevance does that stand in relation to his admin status? You have yet to prove a point. What do you think he's going to do? In this scenerio it's more of a status symbol, and not so much ultimate supreme power. Link to comment
