Since I’m not a mod I can preach a little without sounding like a henchman.
I’ve donated about five times. why? Because this is a quality site that is not free to run but runs for us. To everyone to selfish to donate. . . well, I cannot be rude. Let’s just say I don’t like leaches. If this were a pay site or something it would be different. But it isn’t and nobody is turned away without reason. Not donating at least once is just a way to tell the mods ‘thanks for your loyalty to us, Now fuck off’.
This place gave me a home when I needed it. I’ve met people here who have seriously contributed heavily to my life in reality. I have met a fellow surviver, a man who showed me that not all intelligent people are snobbish assholess, I’ve met someone on her I plan to spend some time with next year if things continue to go as well. Most of all, I’ve found a place where most are slow to judge. If I’m miserably depressed I can whine in the journal or chat without complaint. If I’m overly hyper I am able to get rid of some of the energy without dealing with jerks.
Don’t get me wrong, this place is not perfect. Escaping assholes is not possible. I’m sure if you look in Heaven there will be at least one jerk. But the majority rock. And to Halx I give mad props because he’s taken a lot of criticism without dropping us. Most people will say ‘well, this is my place so fuck you’. I can imagine Halx doing it if he wanted, but he seems to listen to reason and tries to please everyone. Things piss me off at times here. So what? Life is like that.
So, guys, for free we’ve gotten great discussions. We’ve seen people show their bodies and artwork. We’ve seen tons of positive ways for people to learn and grow. And don’t forget the porn.
Donate if you like the place. One fucking dollar apiece could support this place.
