that's cos you're
shameless

oh, and the whole m3ss3ng3r thing is a good reason not to get myself a furtive....

( Sunshine Elephant, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:38, archived)

well i donated to flibz
and now it's gone...

could happen to any site...

Sounds
like an existential poem.

isn't that like saying
"i paid for a meal and now i've eaten it"?
( martian, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:38, archived)

don't misunderstand me
i'll donate to b3ta, semi-regularly. But i'll not set up a monthly payment, in case it goes belly-up.
( mictoboy, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:40, archived)

ah
well there's no way to get a furtive even if you did set up a regular payment...
( JustHere, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:42, archived)

the furtive icon
is simply to do with age, if you donated before the skull/smiley icons then you get the choice of a furtive.

Is there a gallery/list of all the new ones
somewhere?...
( Collatallie Sisters, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:45, archived)

the current ones are spider/dalek/kitten
apparently there's some new ones coming soon
( Sunshine Elephant, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:46, archived)

You can see all but
the Dalek in this thread.
The current ones are Dalek, Kitten, Spider
( StickFigureNinja is worried he may be on the list, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:46, archived)

Previously was
scary skull and scary smile. Then the furtive for the real old farts.

Ta :)
I like the little spider! Can I keep my Furtive
too though?
( Collatallie Sisters, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:49, archived)

yes.

( Sunshine Elephant, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:49, archived)

You get
to pick and choose the one you want and change it as often as you like.

Yip Yaroo!
I'm gonna go get miself a spider right now :)
( Collatallie Sisters, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:51, archived)

there's three of us, and alot of mods,
there was one of Flibz. On the rare occasion we have private lives, we try and keep them private. Having said that, perhaps you're right. Could happen to anyone.
( pep, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:43, archived)

what an odd reply.
are you feeling ok?
( martian, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:45, archived)

I'm fine.
but it's true anyway really, isn't it?
( pep, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:46, archived)

It certainly is.
'lo pep, nice hols?
( supermoore: HUNG, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:49, archived)

yes.
but it was more the fact that the site disappeeared, rather than the reasons for it, that he was talking about. "i mean, what if you rob and cal all work out how much this site is costing you to run and decide it's not worth it?" is kind of what he was getting at...
( martian, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:50, archived)

But in that case
surely donating less is more likely to make that situation occur?
( StickFigureNinja is worried he may be on the list, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:51, archived)

It's bound to happen one day
although I like to think the baton would be passed on, so to speak.
( supermoore: HUNG, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:52, archived)

yes.
sorry, i was just reiterating his point, rather than agreeing with it.
( martian, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:52, archived)

Yeah, i know
i was just using that as a chance to make mine.
( StickFigureNinja is worried he may be on the list, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:54, archived)

hug?

( martian, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:56, archived)

marital infidelity
isn't the only reason a site disappears.

fingers crossed this one stays, i don't think i'd know what to do with my time if it did stop.
( mictoboy, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:46, archived)

If it did happen
someone else would likely try and knock something together to take b3ta's place.
There's too much of a community here for that not to happen.
( StickFigureNinja is worried he may be on the list, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:54, archived)

Furtives are by time only
not by amount. Unless you really bribe rob/cal/pep a lot.
( Tedious, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:44, archived)

the way i read the appeal page
was, if you set up a regular payment, you got acces to all the icons...
( mictoboy, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:45, archived)

Only
from that time forward.
( Tedious, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:45, archived)

yep.
Furtives are gone. There are different icons for different donation periods. Once that period is over, any new donators only get access to the icons for the period they are donating for.

Unless you're Zog,
if I remember rightly?

tattoos
don't count.
( martian, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:50, archived)

Are they
changing again soon?
( wayward., Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:51, archived)

they should do actually.
But it's just we've had no time.
( pep, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:56, archived)

too busy living it large
with everyone's donations!

don't suppose
I can blag just the kitten one for having it scrawled on my car for a month? :-D

Hopefully
my student loan'll come through before this donation period ends.
( StickFigureNinja is worried he may be on the list, Sun 31 Aug 2003, 13:52, archived)
