This is more an amuse-bouche punchup before the main event. A palate cleanser to get the real stupidity out of the way before the main stupid event, although your 'woke' individuals are using the SC ELE as the first of a series of Matroska doll ELEs that go up to the planetary level.

But yeah, the naked ball-punching orgy of fat retards is generally more your goon yiff than a distraction.

drat well done, i wished my english was good enough to construct stuff like that.

Notice how a bunch of previously unseen users have automagically appeared in the latest avatar slapfight?

It's almost as if they have an internal avatar queue that's not reflective of the public one. Pretty much what I've been saying for months now.

I've long wondered why Lowtax hasn't seen the obvious opportunity to better monetize internecine Avatar combat. He really should tie his fundraising drives more closely to it.

For example, pretend he had SA Pledge tiers of $20, $50, and $100.

A pledge of $20, in addition to whatever perks, also scores you 3 Avatar Changes. $50 gives you 10. $100 gives 30. (Or whatever.)

Minor adjustments to the SA forums could make Avatar swaps something very easily done by users with swap credits -- in the heat of thread warring as opposed to subjecting them to the current hassles. It would incentivize fundraising buy offering those throwing a little money his way a small reward they might have occasion to use down the road. Seems like it could really open up what is surely a revenue bottleneck on both the donations and the avatar swap income streams.

Help us help you help us hurt each other.

Then again, minor development effort would be required. That may be the fatal flaw in this plan.

Lowtax should sell 6 hour probations. Dsmart would end up probated until 2060 and SA would be paid for for a whole year

Your plan smacks of the transfer of wealth, moving from a flat rate of :tenbux: to a system of socialized and frankly worrying discounts that is obviously a slippery slope to cannibalism. Meanwhile;

True story. My one year old corsair mouse's wheel broke (proper piece snapped off broke) recently, so I had to break out my perfectly working mx518. My mx518 I bought in, like 2004.

Logitech gets my mouse purchases because of their customer support and the relative difficulty in killing the drat things. I managed to kill a G9 through mechanical strain in the cable meaning that the wheel wouldn't register; although it was out of the normal 1 year warranty, I gave them a call and they replaced it. With a G500.

Only thing that blew the MX518 out of the water was that brief period when MS Intellimouse was the king. Microsoft peripherals; you almost changed my opinion of MS.

I still use my old one at work from about the same period, the middle button double clicks sometimes but otherwise it's bulletproof. I've been looking for another one forever.

Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 is the best mouse ever created, the MX518 is second but I'm not paying $200+ for a mouse.
