WOOOO! MORE MONEY FOR BEER!

Seriously though, I'd like to clear up some confusion regarding how donations work.

First, a generous member of the community donates monies to paypal. That money then sits in a paypal account doing nothing for months.

Then, mrfredman will have a chance encounter with a website that only accepts paypal as a payment option, at which point he will embezzle all of the money he needs to buy whatever useless thing he has his heart set on.

The next morning, he will wake up hungover and see what he has done the night before, and in his guilt he will reimburse the GG2 paypal account, usually adding a bit extra because he's a grownup with a salary and 401k now.

That money then sits in the account untouched for another several months, or until Medo or mfredman get a bill for webhosting or DNS registration, at which point mrfredman will wire the money to Medo to pay the bills.

I'm not sure what happens once the money reaches Medo, but I can only assume that courier is disintegrated by flying guard drones and the money is then converted to bitcoins to pay for a series of political assassinations.

And then we wait for more donations...

Actually, the money is taken from MedO's account and sent to the Greek government to try and remove their debts.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. execute_strings on fire off the shoulder of Overmars. I watched object-beams glitter in the dark near the room_goto_fix. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain. Time to die.

And also used by the Greek to buy infrastructure and stuff from Germany, so we get our money back and they have even more debts.

Anyway, Valence and a/d, thanks for keeping that vicious circle alive! You can have a custom title and money intels if you want, thought I guess a/d is already good with his. Anyway, tell me what you want.

If you donate $25 twice then you get admin rights.
(Based on a sample size of one and excluding other factors.)

Yeah, ajf just reverted your settings until the new membergroup is set up properly (because that's what custom titles actually are...)
