Official Donation Drive!

[Evil Avatar]

http://www.evilavatar.com/images/thumbs/donate.jpgAs we head into the end of July and the beginning of August, it is almost time for us to pay our hosting bill for the next six months. Where does that money come from? From our generous Subscribers and Brokeback Subscribers!

This is our official Call for Donations (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/payments.php)! Please give till it hurts or hurt someone till they give.

Next week we are going to upgrade all our software as the first step in resolving our Yo Yo Server problems. In addition, our host has been making changes behind the scenes to resolve our problems. If that doesn't do it -- then we will start looking into alternative hosting. Thank you for sticking with us during the last few months.

So the pink ones aren't chicks?

[Sl1pstream]

I'm totally a chick. Cue the obligatory "Whatchu doing?"
I would donate, but thanks to my uber-expensive trip next month, I'm pretty low on cash.

[Spigot]

Brokeback Subscribers?

I guess it's true, because you know I can't quit you.

[Lima Beans]

Im pink for the chicks.

[Evil Avatar]

Brokeback Subscribers?

That was the joke name I gave to the Pink Subscriber group when I created it for GunnyMo.

The Green Subscriber group is "Kermit Subscribers" in the system.

[Vyzov]

If only It wasn't paypal...

[jeffbax]

Resubbed today!

No pink or green, being as I have no income and am a broke ass college student, but hey, its the only website i'd think of paying for ;)

[DangerousDaze]

Just made the usual monthly donation. Good luck with bill and thanks for a great site.

[Bingley Joe]

Thanks for all the hard work, guys!

Without your efforts, I would get a lot more work done, so let's hope I can afford the re-up next year ;)

Just sent another $25 your way.

[Rune_74]

They could be? I know GunnyMo has a softer side.

[violentp]

I donate and I lose my pinkdom? Blasphemy I say!

[GigaFuzz]

I know, it's cool. I just don't think I'd heard us pinks referred to as such before.

I'm pretty sure the pinks have been called that many a time before. I'm not sure who by, but I've definitely seen people use the term.

Oh, and because Evil asked so nicely, he can have a little more money.

[GigaFuzz]

Holy Carp, you're right!

IT'S A TRAP!

[AbinSur]

I had that problem too. The system auto-changes you to orange when you donate.

I just do the paypal to Evil's address and PM him now.

Maybe one day, he'll fix that... :)

Ah, of course! It's been a while since I donated using the site's built-in donation system. I just totted up my total donations, and I'm just a little short of a nice round number, and we can't be having that....

[Evil Avatar]

Maybe one day, he'll fix that... :)

I did fix it so that a $100.00 donation will auto-Pink people (Auto-Brokeback?). However, the same set of rules that turns a Yellow to Orange will turn a Pink to Orange.

I'm sure there is a way to fix it -- I'll look at it next week when we upgrade the software.

[Gerbs]

Am I orange??

edit: I am not.. What about the rules that turn yellow into orange?? Apparently they're about as strict as the "Look but don't touch rule" at the local strip club.

Fixed ya right up. As easy as dipping an egg into food coloring.

[bapenguin]

Thanks everyone who donated.

I really hope this software update works. :)

[Gerbs]

Thanks!! Kind of a... weird metaphor though.. Unless you love Easter. I haven't dipped an egg in years.

[GigaFuzz]

I wouldn't be surprised if "egg dipping" was the name for some bizarre sexual act, or one that an FPS player would perform to vanquished foes in multiplayer matches.

Edit: Well, it's not on urbandictionary, but I did see some interesting definitions while searching for it. I don't think I'll be able to look at a Scotch Egg the same way again....

[UWCrash]

Brokeback Subscribers?

I guess it's true, because you know I can't quit you.

EA's name is Dom?

[Crittias]

Happy to send some money EA's way. Best money ever spent on videogame-related stuff.

[Mashidar]

Only was able to afford 10 bucks, but at least I did donate for the first time.

[fitbabits]

Thanks. Every penny counts...

And thanks to everyone else who had donated.

Awesome! Thank you!

[PathMaster]

Will donate in the morn when I get to work. This shall be 'tagged' to remind me.

[Wyrm]

I donated for the first time this month, and when I get next month's paycheck, more cash will be headed to the best gaming news site on the planet.

[vallor]

I couldn't live without my daily EA hit. When I miss a day I feel way out of touch. I don't even want to think about the withdrawals during multiday stretches.

Its been years since I donated, but I opened a bottle of Miser No More and it loosened the ol' wallet. If it worked for me, it'll work for you!

[TrackZero]

There's $50 over you to Evil, hope it helps.

Welcome to the party Pal!

[Schnoogs]

Maybe if I donate again I'll FINALLY get pink status...I got overlooked last time for some reason

[WastelandDan]

don't forget to bid high on the autographed Casanova #1 that's up for silent auction! If you guys break 100 bucks then not only does the site get money, I make pink! :D

[Evil Avatar]

Perhaps you need to embrace your feminine side?

[Scramble]

Just chucked in another $25. I feel so much better helping with costs when I'm not forced to subscribe.
Shows who the nice people are :o :o :o

[Squidbot]

There's another $35. All I can stretch to this month.

And it's un-pinked me again :D

[Evil Avatar]

And it's un-pinked me again :D

And I hooked you back into the wonderful world of Hello Kitty, those pesky drunken elephants and the homo-erotic banhammer!

[Oddmaker]

Don't update to the new software! The search feature is annoying :p Anyways I'll be donating later :)

[DarkDaY]

alright evil, I went and bought me a visa, yes, you can do that, pain in the ass.
but I only had 80 cash on me, came from the gym,
want my pink, but, in the next couple days ill drop that in here once I figure out how to.
then ill head out to throw some more money on it and get my pink, though I would still like to find out what its going to take for me to get black on black.

[Spigot]

I just want my e-mail notification back...

[Evil_SPanKY]

OK, I just contributed $50 to the cause!

[Uniconfis]

Love this site. Donation made.

orange you glad i didnt say banana

[Flatpicker]

My first paycheck from a new job and $10 was earmarked for EvAv.
I'll try to do more once I get back on my feet.
Was out of work for 6 mos and this place helped my sanity.

[wyeast]

Dammit! Try to be a nice guy and cough up the cash a month early, and I get screwed out of that leftover month! Guess the system isn't quite set up for the event that someone gets sponsored into Orangedom and subsequently re-ups because YOU DON'T EVER LEAVE THE FIRM.

Damn you, Disgustipated for causing my dilemma. ;) And damn you EvAv. Damn you and your Delicious Candy! :D

[PathMaster]

Donated some more as well. Anyway to do an amount not listed?

Keep up the great work!

[violentp]

We should get a thermometer image showing our progress in raising money for the new server. It worked for Weird Al you know.

[roboninja]

Made another $10 donation. Need to get these server timeouts fixed :)

[atariv8]

I've skulked around long enough, so I just threw in $10. It's not much, but it's more than I ever sent to public radio! Maybe after school shopping with the kids I'll have a little left over. Thanks for the site.

[Talltale]

There we go. Tossed in my cookies as well! Good job EA!

[MrWonderstuff]

$25 from this gamer. Always happy to help a site which is No1 on my regular sites to visit.

[Murtaug]

Well, I answered the call, only $10 this time around though as I just lost a weeks worth of pay thanks to hurting my back at work which according to workmans comp is not a work related injury.

Hopefully I can send a bit more next month when I get things in order again.

I'm orange again, it makes my fabulous pinkness cry.

[Oddmaker]

[Whimbrel]

I gave! Not a whole lot, but if I pay for NPR I certainly ought to give here as well! Thanks for the site!

[Loki_09]

Been a member for a few months now, figured if I'm going to make a donation, it might as well be to EvAv. Keep the news coming fellas.

[Schnoogs]

How do you know when someone has earned pink status? I've donated $100 collectively yet no pink.

[Sazime]

Weird, it seems I miss the subscriptions drives by donating 1 month early, every time. Either I'm psychic or I'm starting a trend... well no one else is wearing flannel this summer, so I'll go with psychic.

[DangerousDaze]

Easy solution to that problem - just donate every month! :)

[Sazime]

I'm a quarterly guy. :)

[Tabasco]

Well I donated $10, considering it's all I could afford. Maybe next time I'll be able to do more. I got mad love for this site though. :D

We have a pretty good system in place to tell when someone becomes a Pink.

A woman about three inches high in a pink robe flies into the room amid a swirl of pixie dust and then sits on the edge of my monitor pouting until I manually make the change.

I visit this several times a day. Its the beginning and the end of what I do, every day. Thanks to the EvAv crew I get no BS gaming news...

You got my money!

My wife wants to know if there will be a www.evilavatarwidows.com coming along anytime soon so that she has somewhere she can vent about all the time I spend on here :)

And if I say, "I don't believe in fairies," does she crash into the desk suffering massive head trauma?

[Evil Avatar]

And if I say, "I don't believe in fairies," does she crash into the desk suffering massive head trauma?

This is a computer fairy. If you say "I don't believe in fairies." then you risk the blue screen of death.

Of course, you risk the same error every time you boot Windows, so I'm guessing Bill Gates doesn't give the proper respect to computer fairies.

And don't even get me started on the red-ring-of-death fairy... that is one mean lady.

Computer Fairy!

Soon, soon I shall have my orange back.

I'm gonna go yellow soon ... I feel it in the earth, I feel it in the water ... must find donation money ... who can I kill?

[Sandman]

The yellow dirge was creeping up on me, so I threw a $10 at it and it's gone away now.....it's going to come back though, it always comes back.
