Someone did bid $16,800 for the vagina carrot.

Vid: to belittle our work as a "cool decal on the wall" is poor judgement.

Seriously; if there are any doubts as to the merit of the Club or our undertaking, you need to take your cash elsewhere.

it's far from being the same as anywhere else. it's never been similar to any other server. I mentioned a while back that when LowCal went down in december for a few weeks i quit playing Rune...

Actualy, Vidar -there's no other server similar to LCA. If you dont believe me ask around.
And if you realy don't like playing on it, nobody's keeping you here.

I'm for it. I've always wondered if how we were keeping the site running. I relize the costs of running an effective website. At first it seems manageble but then the costs start adding up.

Unter, Imp, Mano, we should consider $5 a month. I have been a member to other sites that charge from $20 TO $50. No, they all aren't porn sites Wink . Everyone blows $5 somewhere in a month and doesn't get as much out of it.

If $5 is a financial burden for anyone then they probably shouldn't even have internet access. I know that some of our younger member may not have the finances to contribute that much. Five words "Mow yards or wash cars". I did when I needed cash

Indeed; the logistics of keeping track of monthly payments on a consistent basis is another matter, though.  After all, my old Rugby team subsisted on about $20 per player per year + underwriting, lol.

I like the idea; and if we continue to grow and provide something of tangible value to the Community, that may well become a reality.

No place like LCC. It's safe to say if it wasn't for it I wouldn't be around here all that much, if at all. Retarded jump and spin dogshit weapons are on every other server.

So yea I'll be more than willing to pay, the place deserves it, we can't have Unter holding the entire system up with only his fundings.

I'm broke, but a little groveling will get me 20 dollars for a good cause Big Grin. If I can make a little effort, I'm sure others can too, and if you can't, 5 dollars isn't exactly a lot of money.

And here's a little idea, how about a sponsor system? Maybe a banner on top/bottom, a popup or such.

NNNOOOOO......

Ack... Um .... Aww.... Ehh... NO POP UPS! Eek I hate those things. If I every can figure out the goob that thought them up I'll tie him to the back of my jeep and go four wheeling. Razz But honestly, sponsering is a good idea as long as we don't sell out our Principles and such.

i think a giant banner right on the top of the page for cumfuckmenow.com would be splendid.

I didn't just see someone say that jumpin and spinning is bad did I? I respect that you run a good server, but come on......sounds almost like the euros when they start bitchin about runes on a server.....please, and this goes out specifically to nutt who tried to impersonate shady on our servers, pipe down and stay out of the big dogs way when he runs thru with a *gasp* big jump spin weapon.....LOL

Pop ups dont bother me aol has a pop up blocker.

But Krackhead, the reason I suggested popups is so they would "pop up". If I find out you're blocking em I'll beat you down Big Grin

Once we get webpages piped into the arena I wouldn't mind a couple porno ads just for gags (j/k); but the primary reason we sought out our own webspace was to be free from the tyranny of the marketplace.

Here here way to go Unter thats exactly what I was thinking. I swear if I see one more pop-up ad I am going to go F*CKING CRAZY!!!!!!! I can't stand that little F*CKING javascript code. The person who happened to make that a useful code for webpages, should be dragged out into the middle of the street and shot MANY MANY times over. Then burnt, then blown to complete oblivion. Or just chased by the Crooked Sworded Warriors of LCC (just kidding guys) but seriously I wouldn't mind taking an ear or something useful for that person way from them. I F*CKING hate those stupid F*CKING POP-UPs.
There I have said my words of hate.

oh god, this is why i shouldnt post when im tired, i didnt mean that the LCC arena is shit, infact in sure its much better, than anything out there, but you must understand, i dont really liek rune all that much, repetative swinging of dumb looking weapons and playing as preset burly grunt machines. What i liek is the honor, and competivte game play between members. And what i meant by the comment on "any other server" i just meant that lcc arena has been the only place ive religiously gone to so i dont know how shitty the rest of it is, this arena is the game for me,V room or whatever else is out there, all and all, this is nothign special to me, and i wouldnt lose sleep over not having it one day and i know none of you would either, mabye youd be a little bored but its not heartbreaking, to end this already too long post, all i ask for is a better way to re-enforce one on one play, then ill gladly meet an reasonable asking price.. and i guess to do that.. ill pay the 5 bucks... no problem... believe it or not.. i do want to help you all, not because ill miss the game, but some of you are really cool people... and you obviously care, so im here with ya
