I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK



I wouldn't blame Lowtax for not remembering, all that spittle ejecting from between Boll's craggy rear end teeth has got to be a huge distraction.

The most baffling thing about this post is equating Kickstarter with accountability.

I know there are people that don't follow through once they've completed their fundraiser. I was trying to refer to the fact that if the initial fundraising goal isn't reached then the donors' money will be returned.

I understand why some of you guys think the idea is silly. Its not like I think its a perfect idea either.

Even if it were done through the SA itself, people love watching bars fill up. Instead of throwing your money into a hole of unknown depth for a project, its nice to know how much is needed and how close you are to achieving a goal. I believe this makes a difference to many people, as silly as it may be to goons. (Just like Lowtax asking radium for ETAs, etc!).

For instance if Lowtax were to just post an announcement saying he needed money to hire an additional programmer for the forums, without citing how much money would be needed for the hire's salary as well as funding equipment or operating costs, yes, some people would give money.

But, if he says "We need $XX,XXX for this project" and posts a little graph at the top of the page showing how much was raised, people may be more apt to donate. Something displaying progression is necessary because it can encourage donations by giving the appearance of a worthy cause. There are people that won't donate to things unless they see others are too.

you care way too much about lowtax making money

I've posted here for 10 years. I just like reading these forums and I don't like the alternatives very much. I don't care about lowtax himself making money.

You are logged in so you can donate

Actually I still had to put in my username and password, the latter being 1000 characters long because of radium.

Just so we are all on the same page, redoing the forums is the definition of an hole of unknown depth.

If we didn't achieve the set goal, Lowtax would get no monies. I'd rather him get some of an unknown value than none of a known value.

If it makes you feel any better lowtax, reading those chatlogs was like a flashback to dealing with half the web developers I've ever had to work with. Its always a ground up rewrite. In a new language. With a custom framework. Its always impossible to put scopes or timelines on anything.

Just be happy you only paid for one. My last job I watched a core crew of 5 of them act like a feedback loop on each other and blow well over $10M and two years on a total failure of a project that never had to be even 10% as hard as they made it.

You sound like you need your PMP and are a bad scrum master.

It's a bit more complex than just a stylesheet, there's different templates for the mobile site vs desktop but I can't say for sure how extensive it is because I'm not personally working on that

He seemed really nice the one time I emailed him wondering if a Ralp ban was legit. Wouldn't have minded re-regging, but he looked into it and overturned it no problem.



Every ban after that I totes deserved, so thankfully I've never bothered him again.
