wow - i haven't been in this thread for awhile. it looks like garnet is making a lot of life long friends here. it must be her glowing personality and genuine tolerance - nay, dare i say acceptance of all her fellow cellarites?

no - really. seriously.

Aw, you're such a sweet talker, Syc.

Don't worry, I won't go away. I know how much you all love me.

Thanks sweetie. Like I've said, the opinion of people like you, Sycamore and Wolf really mean a lot to me. I just want you to know how important your acceptance is to me.

Just out of curiosity, how does the Cellar get funding? Are there memberships of some sort, or is it funded as a non-profit? I'm curious, you see, because there is such a small group of people who post here on a regular basis. From my experience in the past few weeks, new people post once or twice and then disappear (I can't imagine why they would do that...). Almost everything else seems to be from people with thousands of posts. Do you guys do anything to encourage new members, or do you prefer to keep hearing from the same people over ...and over...and over ...and over...and over? If this is a business of some sort, isn't it bad for business that nobody seems to stick around except the same 15 people?

The Cellar is funded by a giant toad.

But you're welcome to buy a t-shirt garnet, if you want to do your part.

So it's funded solely by Undertoad? And I might just buy a couple t-shirts--one for myself, and one for my good pal Sycamore as a gift.

damn, i was just kidding. i haven't taken any potshots at you in awhile. in fact, if you dig back far enough you would realize that i had posted that i think you will fit in just fine here. but now i am realizing that you really are just a self impressed firebrand. i think you actually enjoy trolling for flamefests.

as far as the cellar being a business? i don't know - you would have to ask someone who matters around here. to the best of my knowledge UT provides this playground for us out of the kindness of his heart. (although if he did accept donations, many of us would gladly contribute).

if you stay or go, doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. having said that, i would encourage you to pull the stick out of your ass and realize that sometimes people just like to yank your chain. it isn't until you overreact and start lashing out that people really start digging in and taking cheap shots. the cellar has a lot of people that post. most people read a lot and post a little. some of us have jobs that allow us to keep an eye on it through out the day. from what i understand the cellar always slows down in the summer but picks up again in the fall. (something about getting cold and driving all those northerners inside )

as far as lumping me, sycamore, and wolf in together... well thanks. i couldn't really ask for much more here in the cellar... but if you stick around and relax a little, you will realize that the 3 of us have no more in common with eachother than we do with everyone else here, or even you for that matter. we are all just folks who drop in to bounce ideas (and sarcastic humor) off each other. sometimes we have great threads with thought provoking discourse... other times we have someone pick a fight and egg a flamewar on. it's all good.

so in conclusion - Step one - remove stick. Step two - enjoy yourself. Step three - understand that we are all equals here. well except for Jaguar (forgive for saying the name without genuflecting)

Welcome to the cellar garnet - care to start over - all of our slates come with really good erasers here.

He used to have the donate via paypal thing at the bottom of the pages, but with the new system I don't see it now. I guess its something to ask Tony about and see if it got left off by accident, or if the new system doesn't support it, or if he's just not doing that anymore.

Good point! There used to be a PayPal tip jar at the bottom of the front page but I don't see it now. Maybe it got lost in the upgrade or maybe in the terrorist^^^^^^^^^ big crash. UT, can you bring that back? Lookout123 wants to contribute, and maybe garnet will too.
Man, I gotta learn to type.

I just posted a thread in the user comments and suggestions asking UT to let us know what happened to the tip jar.
