Hello GBS,
I don't post here very often, but this is still the top forum so I figured it's where I would post this.

I didn't believe a few months ago that lowtax would actually give up control of these dumb forums, but I am happy that he did. As a show of this gladness and in the spirit of a sort of forums Renaissance, I am here to give you, the proletariat goon masses, a bunch of :siren: free forums stuff

Here's the deal: Jeffery has said this site takes a minimum of $1200 a month to keep afloat. After a decade here, I am going to pay for (up to) a month of its operations via whatever dumb poo poo you all decide you want. Maybe I'll even get the chance to ban Lowtax myself!

:siren:Thank you for participating everyone, the giveaway has ended. :siren: Let's look forward to a hopefully slightly saner future for SA!

If you lost a gangtag let me know so I can fix it!



Just post in here with what you want, be it archives, plat, titles/avatars for yourself or others, smilies, banners, unbans (I guess?). I think the only thing I can't buy directly for someone is a new account, but I'd be willing to give gift certificates to people that want to give their "friend" an account.

Steps, for the brain geniouses:
  1. Post in this thread with what you want.
  2. Specify what account this is for. If you don't specify, I'll assume it is for your account. I need the email you want me to send the certificate to for account stuff (plat, archives, new accounts).
  3. Be fuckin' patient, at an average cost of $10 for a thing, this is potentially 120 different purchases I have to process.
  4. Don't be a poo poo - I'm not putting any particular limits on this, but be considerate to others. I obviously reserve the right to deny something.

If you want a smilie purchased, you have to give it to me, obviously. I'm not going to tweak them until they fit in our weird rear end restrictions, so go and check those before submitting. Same goes for avatars, titles, banners, etc - make sure the content you give me fits whatever requirements.


Also, because at the end of the day this entire bit is kind of a vanity project, I'm going to make a donation equivalent to whatever I end up spending here to Plinky's wonderful CSPAM Goon Assistance Fund.
Many of you may not have any clear picture of what CSPAM is or why there's always so much drama around it in QCS, and hopefully this gives you a better idea. If you're a goon in need of real world help in the lovely world we inhabit, be sure to check out that thread.

Also, with that last round of random avatars, I have now hit my limit! Sorry if you didn't get in, there were several requests that never gave emails if I needed it, and I might have just missed it. Plinky is gonna get $1200 to help out goons in distress, and I got to have some fun creating forums rivalries and brand new posting comrades.

Thank you for participating, and for your kind words! :) I'll leave the thread open I guess, no real reason to close it.

Some stats, out of a total 122 items:

Avatars: 67
Archives: 27
Platinum: 15
New Accounts: 5
Certs for future Avs: 3
Banner Ads: 2
Also 1 Unban and 1 Namechange
