"I've prayed to Bob, but I still can't download."

"If I post 10,000 random near meaningless comments in 2 hours can I become a VIP?"

"I just donated -- yeah, I know the ginormous red and yellow banner said not to -- but now I can't download."

"Satan lied to me again, I still can't download."

"What does Colin Powell have to do with my not being able to download?"

"I've prayed to Bob, but I still can't download."

I know quite a few Bobs, and I wouldn't pray to any of them.

We may as well have a few laughs!

Maybe we should have a sticky on all this. Breaking down how many downloads Newbies get, how long it takes to get to Jr Member, Full Member, etc.

I'd just like to make a complaint about all these complaints about complaining

[Astaldo711]

Then there are those that will complain about complainers complaining about people complaining about ....you get the drift...

One suggestion is that if the site is not taking donations right now, to remove the donations sticky posting that links to the old paypal account.  For those of us who didn't see the notice up top (i know i know.. its in large red and yellow letters..) and donated, it'd be another preventative measure from a mistaken donation happening

We're working on a way to make your computer vibrate, smoke and scream loudly if you try to donate. Failing that, maybe a personal visit from Nunzio to explain the error of your ways. Or you could raise your eyes slightly and notice the giant glowing banner.

I don't know why you have to be so rude. 

If there's a donation button on a site, you could put a big banner that says don't donate but that's not going to catch everyone.  It would be nice if everyone would read the giant glowing banner first but unfortunately that's just not the reality.  I was merely suggesting that he also disable or remove that donation button/link.

I just don't know what to say anymore

No one is being rude, so cut out the  act please.

On the other hand, we are having some great laughs over this stuff.

Then shutup  Mr Astaldo

[slingsla]

Ok ok, I can see now that he wasn't trying to be rude.  I guess since I'm new here and haven't read many of his posts, I'm not used to his posting style.  or maybe I just don't have a sense of humor today!   

[Astaldo711]

You have to laugh at least once a day or else the day is wasted. I apologize if I sounded rude. 'Twas not my intent I assure you! It's just that right now Narf is pretty much holding this place down by himself while Janus is away and Yoc has vanished. Just to make sure;
DO NOT DONATE TO THE SITE YET PLEASE!!

[slingsla]

No worries, I probably took it more personally than you intended bc I was one of those who donated without reading the banner up top.  I still feel kinda stupid for it.

Brings to mind the old adage; "Pride goeth before the slippery banana peel."

I should have paid more attention when my mom would tell me that as a kid 

[narfstar]

This is one of the friendliest forums around but we are not beyond a little ribbing when the opportunity arises.

[boox909]

How many threads are there on why newbies/& non posters cannot download? Why are we having to suffer duplicate threads along the same topics over and over and over and over again?

I might be giggly about it, but some of these folks will need to start reading the forum rather than just taking the scans.

I know...I know...how dare I suggest people be constructive in their complaints.

Isn't there a section on there entitled "Golden Age Comics Help"? Why would you go there. As I mentioned before we should just have a sticky that states we're having problems and we'll get to it as soon as possible. Right now Narfstar is the only one who can do anything with Janus and Yoc away. I've been trying to help out as best I can but it seems every other post is either "I can't download" or "How many downloads do I get?"
We should just have a thread that states
0-X you're a Newbie and get this many downloads
X-X you're a Jr, Full, Senior member and get this many downloads.
Then a brief explanation that it's hectic here and everyone is doing their best.
Of course, that would depend on people actually reading the thread.

And we are awaiting Janus telling us what his plans actually are because we do not know
