I am buying a membership once it opens, but not because of this. I used to be on here before I went over to the gulf...I actually registered in Jan 2002. I can't remember what my name was (all of my e-mail and everything was closed when I got back) but my first post was involving getting stuck on the beach. Anyone remember it?? I got lots of shit for it because of the Tread Lightly campaign. I was a jackass!! I was with you guys the whole way on this one though..making fun of the babies!!

You are not even close to the type of person I was talking about. You cannot make it more obvious you want to be part of the clique. Don't worry, I'm sure it's working. I saw your name come up... well, I don't think it came up at all in the "behind the scenes" thread. Post more, they will notice you sooner or later. wink

I dunno...maybe it's just me. But I still don't see the *humor* in it. Sure, you can easily show how gullible people are (and I *almost* posted about it way back, but held back). You guys picked an easy target.

At least make it something that isn't so easy and a little more interesting.

I wonder if it's still going - after all, pm's could be flying back and forth right now.

The really gullible suckers are the ones who paid to have Supporting Member under their names.

That was the real joke [LOL]

Nah, I don't see it. Off2, as annoying as he is, actually thinks he's saying something important. lincolnnellie, like BP, just likes to watch his post count go up.

No, the real joke is that you're member #441, been around here since Oct 2000, and are too cheap to help support the site. I guess that means that not only are you a tight ass, you're what the whole joke was about in the first place.

amen mike.

i didnt give ian money to get a red stripe under my name... i did it because the guy has given me three years of good times(including the un-board and yahoo) and XOC has let me meet some of the best people i ever have... anyone who has been here more than a year and hasn't became a supporting member is a leach, and a self centered one at that.

the stripe, access to the supporting members forum, the gallery, the stickers, etc... they are all just bonuses... ian deserved the money regardless

If you really believe that, then you are totally missing the point of the supporting members.

no... seriously how much is $20? its not like its a lot of money... ian put in a lot of hard work... seems to me if someone posts on here regularly and never became a supporting member then they think they are better than everyone else and they are above contributing... instead they let ian work, and others pay so they can have a free ride... they are like wellfare mothers with 6 kids

Its a hell of a lot of money when you dont have a job, like I did when he was taking donations. Then, by the time I found a new job, he stopped taking money. So get off your high horse. :rolleyes:

This is a Bullshit statement Todrick. A lot of people on this board are unemployed, and have been for a while, why do you think they post so much. $20.00 is a lot of gas money for such people. Others, myself included really thought XOC would implode within a few months if not weeks at the point in time when XOC had the "supporting member option" and I do not just throw my money at anything. Once I saw XOC was still going to be around, the option to be a supporting member was not there. Ian is now saying that the option will be there again after the upgrade. I fully intend to pay the price, to show my appreciation for this amusing and informative site, but the roof of my house is also caving in. If it goes, before I can get it fixed, I hope nobody gets their panties in a bunch because I diverted my time and money to that project........

Interesting.....an acknowledged and deliberate attempt at polarization in the club.

Todrick....what an terrifically assinine statement.....especially from someone who should know what it is like to be in financially dire straits. Perhaps folks could not justify the spending of $20 for club membership at the time which it was being implemented. You could....BRAVO! That is actually an honorable thing given your appreciation of the site and it's impact upon your life.

I could not justify it at the time, and when I could, support memberships were no longer available. Does that make me a freeloading, leacherous shitbag? Perhaps, in your eyes, and the eyes of other "Supporting Members." But.....will I lose sleep because of it? No. If support membership does once again become an option, I will donate $20, simply for the fact that this club has probably saved me that much (in reality....more) in problem-related solutions for my X.

But also, keep in mind.....this club was initially started, I would assume, because of Ian's interest in the X, and an interest in building a community around its existence. And what a great community it has become.....great in size, not in attitudes or morale. XOC is now larger than Ian, you or any other "Supporting Member." It has developed into its own cynical, sarcastic, obstinate yet informative, compelling, often-humerous beast.

So, if Supporting Memberships do become available again (and please offer an option for payment methods other than PayPal.....I do not put credit card or debit card info on the web unless I absolutely have to), I will pay....just to express appreciation for this club.

But as long as you and the other "Supporting Members" can feel justified in creating havoc in the "virtual playground" and then stand off to the side and snicker about your accomplishment, you have succeeded in driving home that your hallowed, superior sub-sect holds power over us, simple minions.

Congrats....ass-face. [Finger]

Uh... fuck you, very much. Some of us missed the "supporting member" deal entirely because we were home, surfing the net for work.

Did you ever find a job, by the way? Or are my tax dollars still feeding your fat ass?

A very good post RedX, but I think everyone needs to step back and remember how this post got started.

I have a feeling that Todrick is "stirring the pot" again.

If you are trying to start shit again Todrick, you may have stepped a little over the line. People usually don't find personal attacks all that funny.

Man, you guys got me all figured out!! Shit!! I thought I could get away with it without anybody knowing!! Please let me know how many posts a day I should limit myself too, so I don't look like I am trying to raise my postcount. From now on, you guys can be the XOC Post Count Police!! Thanks for volunteering your time to look out for me and my post count. [Finger]
