For what team?


I am Admin of team "TheDVDForums" from many years ago - it's still active, so that will do ;)

It's not about the winning, it's about showing my support :D

LOL....your team has an RAC of about 20k.....my 24k would bolster it nicely.....


> thought of the moment: make this a sticky Mark ? (might call out Distro request) ;)


I have gotten into trouble when in the past, I have tried to sticky things that some others did not think appropriate........
Perhaps this will be an active enough topic to stay at the top o' the page on it's own merit.......


. . . i know - that's why i mentioned the Distro Request ;)

and Yes - more than likely - this Thread will remain up @ the Top . . .


Richard......you bidding???


< uhm - just put in another Donation last week - waiting for Eric to correct some Script (arghhh!) so - no THAT was what i could Donate THIS month and it's too late for Your Auction . . . sorry Sir


So pony up for next month...I'll take a debit........LOL.....

Yeah It would be worth It Mark, But even though You'd be the 2nd biggest producer on the team until the AK app comes out(maybe in 1st for a bit until the others upgrade), The team outside of Me doesn't appear to interested in a 25% to 50% increase in crunching power and that doesn't even include the Uncle B's and they ought to be a team unto themselves by all rights(But I don't know for sure yet, Only Fluff n Stuff responded to My post so far), But are Killer Frogs none the less and they rack up millions of credits usually. And I could only spare $25 at most next month, So I'm still out.

Joker.....
I really do feel your pain......
I have read about your troubles over the last months.....
I would not wanna be in your shoes.....
Chin up, my man.....you are truly a good soul.

There are people who've lost their houses that are in worse shape than Me, So I'm ok and Thanks for the comments. I made sure I could improve My situation when I could and did so, If I'd had more money My house would've been a doublewide and closer to 1997 or newer in vintage and in Hesperia CA on It's own land next to a paved road instead of out here, But such was not for Me.

Give thanks to God for what ya have, my friend.

I have spent many a moment P&Ming about what I do or do not have.......
Then I have to step back and realize that I am soooooooooooooo blessed.
What more could I want? Four cats that luv the bejeesus out of me, a roof over my head (paid for)....a good paying job.....and the love of God....

What more could I possibly ask for?????

LOL...no, the farm stays in the kitties' posession........
Just the RAC will transfer to the high team bidder.........


One thing I have not seen -

How long will the farm remain with the highest bidding team ???

And if "future donations" are accepted, how do you account for those.

I could promise $10,000 over the next 12 months.

I was thinking along the same lines...
BTW...
The only reason I have proposed future donations, is that I'm not in the financial position to pay a "lump sum"... how would you handle this?

Posts remain here forever, my friend......
If you bid 10k over 12 months, I will hold you to it.....
And I can find you anywhere if you fail to deliver...LOL.

As to the time frame.......
I will stay with the highest bidding team for at least 12 months....a year.

Maybe more, if they are nice.....

So pony up for next month...I'll take a debit........LOL.....

Yeah It would be worth It Mark, But even though You'd be the 2nd biggest producer on the team until the AK app comes out(maybe in 1st for a bit until the others upgrade), The team outside of Me doesn't appear to interested in a 25% to 50% increase in crunching power and that doesn't even include the Uncle B's and they ought to be a team unto themselves by all rights(But I don't know for sure yet, Only Fluff n Stuff responded to My post so far), But are Killer Frogs none the less and they rack up millions of credits usually. And I could only spare $25 at most next month, So I'm still out.

There are people who've lost their houses that are in worse shape than Me, So I'm ok and Thanks for the comments. I made sure I could improve My situation when I could and did so, If I'd had more money My house would've been a doublewide and closer to 1997 or newer in vintage and in Hesperia CA on It's own land next to a paved road instead of out here, But such was not for Me.

Not much, Me I only have one Kitty now, At one time I had two, But He had to be put to sleep as I didn't have the $900.00 to fix both His rear hips(birth defect) and He was only 11 years old too, He was a pretty good Black Cat too. On the house that makes two of US, As mine is also paid off as is the car, I may not be rich or even well off, But I'm at least pretty intelligent still and I'm still losin It weight wise(I think I am at least). :)

You need another kitty......
Check our your local shelter and I am sure they would be verry happy to put one in your loving care.......
I know I have posted sooooooo much about kitties......
But I must. Really.....
Their needs exceed ours. They have nobody to rely on except us.

Take care, my friend.

What “country limitation”? AFAICT it would have to be self-imposed: there’s no necessary linkage between team and member nationalities. My little team, for example, was originally registered as Canadian; I changed it to international after a couple of Americans had joined. If you browse one of the stats sites that show nationalities, you’ll see quite a few ‘foreign’ flags here and there in the listings for national, regional, or local teams.

Still It's the weekend and I suspect people are out doing something or working, Unlike US Geeks with nothing better to do other than watch the PCs and/or StarWars(It's on Spike TV now).
