Warning...rant forth coming, you don't wan't to deal with it, gtfo..

Ok...It has come to my attention that the proposed changes Doodi and Dsmooth are planning to make to improve our little home here are going to cost approximately 5500 bucks. (link for details), and the donations to the site are down (obvious reasons the economy, xmas on its way, new games coming out, blah, fucking blah). So after some other info that my ninja spies had obtained, I have come to find out that Doodi has bowed to the pressure of a few and not checked back with the Game truck peeps, to see if they wanted to keep the add going...THIS IS BECAUSE A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE PISSED AND MOANED ABOUT THE ADD!!!!

So fine...Doodi being the nice guy he is, put up the google adds again...AND TOOK AWAY A SOURCE OF REVENUE TO THE SITE TO MAKE THOSE PEOPLE HAPPY!!!

Please do not get it twisted that I am upset with Doodi, cause I am not, I am upset with the pissers and the moaners..

Which means now it is up to us, to get off our gamer asses and help raise/make/produce/ money for the site and the changes.

Now you might be saying, fuck you LB, I got games to buy, or xmas is coming and I got to save my cash for that, or I got to save my 20 bucks for that toothless hooker I have been getting (This was an pm specifically from Dhaji, so I thought I would post it up to share), I just do not have the funds to help out...Well I got an answer for you, and after that I will post other suggestions you can do to help out:

#1 (it is free and you earn cash for the site)

click on the google adds banner. Every click earns a few pennies for 202p. The only cost to you is the electrons you will need to us to push your mouse pointer to the banner and then click the mouse button. Just fucking do this. Take off your god damn add blocker while you are on the site and click the banner. Don't care if you are using firefox, IE, Opera or whatever...Just do it...Do it from home and do it from work. If you work blocks it, just do it some how. Especially you fuckers that pissed and moaned about the GameTruck add...stop spewing plasma out of your mangina's or your bearded clams and get to work.

#2

Donate to the site. There is a donate button on the front page of the site. If you got some cash sitting in your paypal account click on the button and send the cash. If you can't do this See #1.

#3

Do a monthly automated donation by signing up for the SCC. (Link) Yeah I know they have talked about this shit for years, well part of it is up, it is the part you can sign up for a monthly contribution to the site. I believe they are in 3 different amounts (5,10,15). You know who is doing it if they have a gold, silver, or bronze icon over their forum avitar and the words bronze, silver, or gold in it. If you can't do this See #1

Now all you people that are talking about buying all the great games coming out over the next few months. How about you sack up, and join Game Fly to get those games, and the extra cash you would have spent buying those games, you could donate some or all of it to the site. I do not know how many threads/blogs I have seen complaining about how much you are going to spend on games this holiday season. So if you go the Game Fly route you can still get your games, and help out the site. If you do not know what game fly is, they are the Netflix of video game rentals, click here to check them out. If you say this idea is full of crap then see #1.

Honestly, the very least any of us can do is click of the google banners and get the site some cash. It does not cost you one god damn penny to do so. No spyware or malware will be sent to your computer, so just do it.

I really do not care if anyone is upset with my rant blog, if you say you were just giving Doodi a hard time about GameTruck, fine, do something now to help out. If your feelings are hurt about what I have said, oh well, liFe is hard, fucking deal with it.

Doodi is to nice and would not say anything about this.

But I am not, so if this site goes down cause Doodi cannot shell out the cash for it, I will hunt your Fluffing-Phelching lazy bitch ass down, rip your bones out and sell the marrow to make money to donate to the site.

Suck it.

/End Rant

Good job LB. And Azure is posting about it on the PcP clan forums and has already got a bunch of us to do the monthly subscription. There's no way any of us want to lose this site!

i pledge to find time to search for the gametruck bitchers and flame them into the holy hell that is the sandy vagina. I checked into the Gametruck and actually considered it, until I came to the realization that I would just keep it parked in front of my house and booze it up playing video games all day long in it.

@Fade...as long as you at a minimum click on the banners, you can give Doodi as many reach arounds as you want.

I don't see why he took the ad down in the first place. He should have just told people WHY the ad was there. If anyone gave him sh*t after that, let the rest of us take care of them. I for one am still waiting for the Senior Citizen Card Holder that we have been promised for a ages now. That was supposed to be a way to get more folks to contribute by giving some perks. In the meantime this is only a stopgap measure to ensure the life of 2o2p. We really need more. Just my 2 cents worth.

Sorry, should have read the whole thing first. I now see that SCC is up and running but this is the first I have heard about it. WIthout advertising, nothing sells.

Please don't assume that everyone is being selfish and assholish because they can't contribute, yes some people, maybe....but not all of us. As for your points.. 1-For some reason the Google ad's do not show up on my page at home...they do at work, but only at work, not at home. If anyone can tell me how to make them show up, I'd appreciate it. I always clicked on GameTruck....if by accident or otherwise. I don't think anyone was really 'bitching' just wanted to see something else up there occasionally. Definitely no reason for Doodi not to renew with them. 2-To be quite honest we have been struggling to eat and keep all of our shit turned on for the past 7 months....there has been zero extra money. 3-read above. I would love to help out the site....I really would. And when I have the extra cash I will, in fact I mentioned that to Sic just the other day when I read how much it was going to cost to revamp the site. A lot of people are having the same issues we are financially....and while it doesn't excuse anything, we do have our reasons.

I've alway supported this site to be ad financed. I'm willing to put up with A LOT of ads. I'm willing to put up with minimal changes. It's all I can do.

Of course I will click the ads for the site. I have also donated in the past, it wasn't much but then I am not really in a position to be donating money to anyone on a regular basis. Having said that however, I have said for a long time that this site is too good to be so unknown. If Doodi and smooth want to make this overhaul and build the site then they too need to sack the hell up and get some sponsers and sell ad space. Seperating the memberbase by how much one is able to donate is going to cause major problems, I for one would be put off to know that I was considered a lesser member simply because I don't pay a monthly donation. Some of us contribute to the site in different ways, such as actively recruiting older gamers...promotion and writing articles to bring in new members. People are not going to leave the site if you sell adspace on it, and if they do....good fucking riddance. Link exchanges and positive press will also bring in the green. Contact 1up, G4tv, EGM etc etc etc. All of these places promote sites that contain much less content than this one.

I have that adzapper thing in my Mozilla, so I never even knew about it. However, the SCC thing works, so I have just put my money where my mouth is and I'm now a bronze member. Let's see others who can afford it..hey, it's less than one dinner out per month. It's less than a visit to BurgerKing or McD's once a month. I'd rather thave this board than that fatty garbage...so here it is. Join me!

I may just sell some old Wii games and other junk on EBAY and donate to proceedings via my paypal to the site. Maybe we could have a group on ebay or something that people could subscribe to and provide crap for that we can get some money that way? I know a bunch of us have old games and stuff around let's hock that shit and provide for the site!!!

Good job guys and gals...Here are some responses to some of the posts: @Durty- Make sure whatever browser you have at home does not have it's add blocker on, at full powah (yes I spelled it that way), or click it off if possible. I do not think every person on this site is an evil fucktard and chooses not to help out. I know a bunch of people are strapped right now, but we do have an option to help out and not cost us a penny. I read yours and Sics blog, I know you guys have other things going on right now. :) Just click the adds when you can. When I wrote the blog, my rage level was at warp 8. So please do not thing, I am hating on every single person that does not do the cash donation thing... @Azured I am not saying that when people give money they should get admin powers or be considered better members, the way I understand it, is what ever abilities you have at this second you still will when the full roll out of the SCC happens you will just get some additional stuff. No one will be considered lesser or not as special because they cannot fork over some cash, for all we know they might be clicking the goodle adds like a bizzilion times and brining in more money then a SCC member. @Patty I believe (and I am not sure about this) but most add blockers give you the ability to not be working if you set them in the preferences..I need people to either confirm or deny this, cause I only use IE and FireFox mobile..Thanks for doing the SCC!! To everyone else with this question/statement: Doodi had explained on forum posts and some blogs that the Game Truck add was brining in cash, so people did not have to click on the google adds. So please do not think that was not clear to people. I know everyone does not read all the forum posts and blogs, (I am a Freak, and when I waste time at work I am on this site 90% of that time), and I do not think other people should know every little things that involves the site, Jesus that would be impossible. I just wanted to bring this to the attention to people that read my blog (for what reason I really do not know), Apparently it is working and now maybe those people will go back to their clans and say hey lets do this.. I understand things are tight for people right now, but if you can see the add click on it. Since it cost us nothing to do so, it is the least thing we can do. :)
