And the winner is... fnool.
I thought this auction supposed to last 5 days or something anyway...
i am definitely still donating the $50 greenbacks that i initially said i would! congratulations, jack! i think we're all pretty excited to see what you're gonna do with this place. just take your time and know that you've always got our support. :cool:
Jesse are you like still gonna be around here?....
I'll pay my share in the next day or two, Jesse.
In the meantime, I had set up a donation account on Paypal with the intent of collecting contributions and then paying the remaining amount with those funds. However, I trust that Jesse will take donations from people who send him money directly and lower the total remaining cost appropriately.
Please provide suggestions in this thread!
As a lifelong fnool supporter, I support this and will now return to VGC fulltime.
At most I've got about $25 I can donate, if it's helpful at all let me know.
this is enough for me to come back to vgc
even with no vamp

jesse i have more posts than you
10 years ago, exactly, jesse was just beginning his crazy "THE Y2K BUG IS GOING TO KILL US ALL PHASE"
Ten years later hes still alive and selling his site.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but its pretty cool.
personally i attribute this to when me and vamp stopped posting
Remember Pokemonyx??!! Try to get him back, and any one else that I drove crazy!!!
Jesse, my PayPal account is dueilangoisseus @at@ live .dot. com. Expect a payment when I get home as I'm typing this from my mobile phone.
Oh, and this means that I get to ban scylla.
Haha, I banned that fag. I love mobile web browsing.
Congrats Klarth!
I'm waiting for my funds to be added to my paypal account. should have that in the next 3-5 days.
Jesse, could you update your opening post with a tally of the amount people have paid (and the amount remaining) once I've sent you my share of the money? It'd make organising this initiative easier.
wait so if i donate i get to be a super moderator
yeah i just began the transfer of funds into my paypal account as well, so i'm in the same boat as ant. a very... cozy boat if i do say so

it would not work like that
This is the most exciting thing to happen to VGC since......Brawl tourny....?
Ouch was banning Scylla really necessary? :/
Six years since I registered for VGC.
I am back!
I really hope you don't leave Jesse. You still are a staple of the community, even if you're not the owner of VGC anymore.
I feel pretty excited about this, even though I post so rarely these days. Maybe with a new influx of members a few aesthetic changes and what ever other new ideas people have, this place could be, dare I say, fun again?!
Man, shows how far I've fallen on VGC that I'm just now seeing this.
End of an era, Jesse. There were good times, there were stupid times, but... they sure were... times.
I am definitely glad to hear that when mod polls are finished, we now have an admin that will actually go through with them.
EDIT - Please keep the color scheme. :(
Congratulations, Klarth. I really hate that I don't have anything to donate to the cause, especially since I was rooting for you so much. =/
But this is awesome. I can't say I ever really hated Jesse Smith, we all love that wacko. We just hated him as an administrator. :) I did, anyway. I would love for Jesse to stick around, at least here and there, as a regular member. I sincerely hope I'll enjoy coming to VGC again. It already makes me really happy seeing the influx of returning members.
Jesse, I'd really like it if you occasionally posted, especially if you continued to post like a wacko.
I also support us doing something funny on April 1st, even if it isn't as drastic as Jesse's forum makeovers.

Jesse, I sent you a payment of $100. That was the amount that I agreed on with fnool, though I may kick in more later if I absolutely have to. However, I expect everyone who agreed to help to actually do so, so I'll probably get off easy as far as that goes. My PayPal info is in a previous post, so you should have an easy time recognizing my payment, though I doubt you have many $100 transfers coming to you today to confuse it with.
According to PayPal, there was no fee for the transfer. Typically, they don't start charging fees unless you receive money on a regular basis, which most people don't do unless they sell things on eBay to earn a living.
Anyway, I'm probably the first person to pay my share. I figure it'll take a few days for the others to work everything out. I sent mine directly because I figured it would create less hassle for fnool and clear faster.
****, great timing *******s. i just now saw this. ill kick in some money (probably a hundred or so) when i can if its needed but chances are i wont have a chance to do that until like after christmas
YES!!!
paypal funds bein transferred just now
apparently it's going to take a full week?! aaah **** is that enough time
alright, money is bein transferred
I'll throw in my share after I get paid on Friday. I'm glad this turned out as well as it did. Klarth, you should make a thread of your suggestions as well as member ideas on what all should be changed - unless you've already done so.
:dance:
What happen.
>implying Jesse was the reason you all stopped caring about VGC
this is sort of like the russian revolution in a way
i just heard jesse smith's car hit a fire hydrant while he was pulling out of his miami house.
hope you're OK jesse :(
The site will be better, sure, but the reason we stopped coming was because we were all terribly bored with eachother.
[quote=Speedfreak;954461]The site will be better, sure, but the reason we stopped coming was because we were all terribly bored with eachother.i cant wait to fight you again
Re-Uniteee!
I want to apologize for not being about to kick up any cash. Right now I'm kind of worrying about making it through Christmas.
EDIT - You know the funny thing is that just before he was banned Scylla said that mods had been hassling him and asked me for help and I mostly just ignored him because I figured no mod would really bother to do that and he was just exaggerating or something.
Hey guys, I'm here too!
Wow, this is so great! I was so happy when I saw that 's0ul' had posted. :dance:
Good to see you, man.
wow, it's like a high school reunion.

same, right now at least, what's the latest we can donate?
I won't believe it until **** changes around here.
yes klarth is definitely scamming people
wouldnt be the first time
yes, he is totally okay with taking substantial amounts of money from people he's known for 6 years
you're dumb as ****
[quote=BLUNTMASTER X;954463]i cant wait to fight you again
Me neither. Honest to ***, man, the standard on the forums my fellow students use is so ****poor.
Can we take off these ****ty filters now.
Also, regarding Jesse's comment about transaction fees, I did set a Paypal account up specifically for donations, but I realised that their margins would significantly eat into the total and gave up on that idea (hence Omni donating to Jesse directly). I'll (hopefully) be able to cover everything lost through Paypal's cut of the donations later on.
I mean, come on, Fate; I'd like to know how exactly you could even consider I'm up to nefarious doings here considering I'm not going to have any contact whatsoever with any of the donations. They're all going directly to Jesse. Really now.
Congrats Klarth. Interested in seeing the changes that are going to happen.
Sorry to see you de-admined Jesse. Stick around though, it won't be VGC without you reigning the Wacko University.
[quote=fnool;954587]Really now.no use attempting to appeal to a woman's sense of logic

If all goes right with PayPal, expect $40 from me within 2-3 days.

CONGLATURATION !!!
THANK !!!
Klath, stop scamming VGC by donating a large sum of your own money in addition to other people willingly choosing to donate. You are a bad person.
he is going to ban everyone and post on the forum by himself
it is such a grand and devious plan
Why hello fnool how are you doing today
****ING TERRIBLY, **** YOU
All right, I don't even have a paypal account and never used one before, so I don't yet know what setting one up or transferring a payment entails, or if there's a fee for creating an account. Also, I'll want to wait toward the end of this week at least for a couple of my paychecks to come in, but it's good to see there's still time.
=edit= apparently i already have a paypal account. i must have registered ages ago and don't remember using it at all.
Why did/are you doing it, Jesse? is it for the girl who's constantly changing her mind?
I am sad face that you seem to want to leave, even after members have asked you to continue to post.
Sent Jesse $35.
Sticky threads been updated.
I don't go around monitoring people's finances around here and Jesse has "sold" the site before, so it's not that crazy to throw a comment about the possibility of it not being true. I don't come here often enough to see it's actually going to happen. Just made a comment, don't put all your collective brainpower into figuring it out. The comment was mostly a jab at the idea that no matter who the admin is, unless things change then who gives a **** who the admin is.
Seriously though, I wasn't making a joke on Klarth's character. Entirely impersonal offhand comment.

yea

How curious, because I never forgot what a dick you are. :)

[quote=Sauron;954867]for somebody who is like the river?
Cool and awesome, you mean?
If I recall correctly, Jesse, you openly spoke with Hyper before about selling the site. I thought you made him an admin once, but I'm not sure about that. Pretty sure it wasn't April either.
from what i recall, that was part of the same april fool's day joke that made raptor and i supermods back in... i think 2005. wow, sudden resurgence of memories
And the most useless investment of the year goes to... fnool!
Congrats man! You're the winner!
If this site is so useless, why did you cry about it on Xanga and keep trying to come back after you got banned?
That was a long time ago, dude. I've grown up a lot since then although I am still not 100% sure why I still come here.
probably because even though you know that no one really likes you, you're acknowledged here regardless. or it could be just because of the first thing, whatever

Poop, my message went to page 7 instead of page 6 where I wanted it.
Well, I'm new to this site, but I would like to greet the new owner and say that I'm a regular on the Poke chat along with many others, and just to say hello and hope to meet you on the chat sometime.
I'll try my best to be on here, and attempt to fit in with these people whom I don't know...
I had it pegged for Jesse's yearly April Fool's Day joke too, until actual money started being handled.
Alright, now for my signature to get fodder from Drax and his gang.
And my picture isn't showing up. Maybe it needs approving first.
The chats seem to have a good userbase, from what I've seen/heard. Are those staying/being remodeled?
They'll remain completely intact for the time being. The only change I'm making at first will be to the advertising present on them.
Like if you hover over my signature picture, you'll see a box of text. Of course, you don't have to type in anything and it should still work.

Now why my signature space must keep disappearing is beyond me.....
[quote=Astanax;954983]Now why my signature space must keep disappearing is beyond me.....
Signatures don't appear after every post on the board. Jesse put that feature in about a year or two ago, I believe.
Thanks for the help. That never dawned on me. Makes sense to keep the bandwidth down.
one of the few sensible things jesse did ~_~
I think I'm just going to posting random comments for awhile, until I get a hold of the flow of this, even though I see that it's still very much active, which I find is good.
who is going to be moderators
[quote=junior senior;955042]who is going to be moderators
they are the only team moderate enough for the job because one is left and one is right so they are moderate right
OMG anybody but Senior....
The first part of my payment will be going through tomorrow evening (around 10PM GMT, most likely) to the tune of $300. Will you be free to start the transfer this weekend, Jesse?
I am a bit suprised by this. A new owner is actually taking over vgchat! I would have thought that a Dexter & Jesse Smith merge would go through. I have not been around that much but the way fnool is posting, he could bring this place to somewhere... fresh. (keep hope alive):p:
Anyway, Jesse says he is selling/sold it. I think he decided to sell the forum now because it is at a low point and he has "worked" on it for far too long. It is not as active as it once was. Are you really leaving because members don't like you as a wacko admin?:D:D:D
i miss iris, vamp, and everyone else :(
vamp come back please
Klarth, just letting you know I had a dream last night where you, me, and Jesse were running through a field trying to hide from this sniper who looked kind of Scottish and had a huge red beard. Not trying to instigate anything, really, BUT BE SURE YOU KNOW WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE IT'S NOT SAFE
In the dream I was some kind of secret service but all I could do to alert you to the sniper's position was run and scream.
I'll preemptively IP ban the entirety of Scotland. Thanks for the heads-up!
Fnool, I sent $56 to Jesse. I told you it was going to be small unfortunately. I just hope every little bit helps.
Now to just wait for my bank to transfer the money to PayPal.
Little update.
Klarth has the vBulletin license and access to the rest of the files that aren't included in the vBulletin download, along with the Dragon Knight files and database, abvatars and pictures, arcade stuff, RPG Inferno stuff, and chat room stuff.
Oh, and the April Fools Day stuff. :D
Once he has everything uploaded on his web host, moving the forums database is next, then giving him the domain.
I talked to Iris last week too, actually. Told her a few people would appreciate it if she swung by, but she couldn't remember the password to her account and I think just gave up. She's alive and well though, just busy and not bothered with the internet anymore, like the rest of us, so hopelessly, are.
But yeah. She may drop in once ownership has transferred.
Jesse, the $56 took from my bank account to yours. Fnool, I hope you're watching!
I vant to by forum
ok
These are some...news man. I thought you were gonna have a site for RWE, hosted on Freedom Studios. All you had to do was send your name and a password to Beowulf to get it.
Still, the site design is awesome
"All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us!!" ~Michael Jackson
I haven't seen any Scylla's puppet accounts since the sold sign. Did you guys ban all of them? Seems fishy to me that he just came in just to up the bid price then leave without even once trying to talk about how he could have done so much better. Of course, I am a suspicious guy...<.>
I've seen them lurking about. He even busted out his chec account.
