In case you crazy kids haven't been paying attention to the "system notices", might I direct your attention to the following posts by yours truly:

This one details the changes to the system.

This one details how bandwidth isn't free and that money doesn't grow on trees and yadda yadda yadda.

And lastly, this one tells you that favorite lists are now in.

What isn't in that forum is that I will soon be taking a shot at amalgamating the stripcreator and forum user databases into one. It may get kind of crazy. We'll see.

If we each toss in a buck a month Brad will have enough money to keep things going and buy a hot dog.

Or we could sell wirthling to a wealthy Saudi Arabian sheik and fund Stripcreator for a couple of years.

I have to set up a new paypal account anyway. Does Brohnny get a bonus if we say he referred us? I'll donate my bonus for starters, and more later, after the fallout settles from my haircoloring adventures.

I was worried about mistakes and errors until I heard about Paypal Infallibility.

Freaking paypal nozzles! I had an account, used it once, forgot the password, asked for the reminder, but they wont send the email to get me started. Guess I'll have to start a new account too.

That's my problem, too. Old account that I cannot modify.

Okay, PayPal is blocking me from getting a new account because I match a record in their database, even using a different email address.

Bad - have you looked into getting one of those donate links from Amazon.com?

Why not use GabePal? Just send me your checking account number and I'll take care of everything. And I'll need power of attorney over your estate, too.

I don't know if this is just me, or if we're all so fucking lazy nobody thought to mention it. The image at the bottom of the screen, next to your email address, doesn't appear for me. I get the dreaded red 'x' of death.

The culprit...

Does anyone else see it?

Not me. What page are you seeing it on? I don't see a picture, but I don't see the x either.

Look down.

No, not at yourself. Look down at the bottom of this this page.

I think that's for U.S. accounts only. I am Canadian. I hate myself.

I think Tycho was telling me that they gang-rape you on their percentage. So I'll look into getting one later tonight.

Weird. That's the little tracker gizmo so's I can keep track of all the bandwidth these forums are eating up. I'm not sure why it's broken for you though. It's working fine here.

I get the red x, too. I tried plugging in the URL "http://www.lowpass.net/bit.php3" and got this result:

The x-10 people? I'd probably shut the site down before I did that. I feel bad enough asking for donations, never mind actively harrassing people. I was a telemarketer for four weeks once too. I was really bad at it.

I do not get a red x.

I cannot afford a donation of $50 at this moment, but I am sloppy drunk enough to donate many smooches.

Ha! I went and looked, too. That's pretty funny.

It reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons a while ago. I think it was the one where Homer went to the candy convention and ended up plucking the gummi Venus de Milo off the babysitter's ass, then got accused of sexual harrassment.

When everything got cleared up, the TV station made a retraction of their statement. They also mention other corrections their expose show needs to make, and a list scrolls by on the screen too quickly to read.

It just so happens that I'd taped the episode earlier and was watching it, so I rewound it and took a look at it in slow motion. There was a bunch of funny stuff that can be found at the link above, one of which was If you are reading this, you have no life.

Then I cried.
