<p>Hello loyal members of {pDs}. Nothing has made me happier than leading this amazing community for the past 6 years or so. I have made friends that I'll have forever. Six years ago my ex-clan would mock me saying I wasn't going to survive a year.</p> <p><a href="http://www.clan-mr.com">http://www.clan-mr.com</a> <a href="http://www.proclan.com">www.proclan.com</a> (I think this was the domain... who cares).</p> <p>I guess they were wrong.</p> <p>We took the best players (by best I mean in character) and created a community not bound by stupid ranks or exclusivity. We took with us an open door policy to anyone who wanted to play to have fun. We formed a clan where the members had all the say, and the higher ups simply maintained the peace.</p> <p>It's been almost seven years.</p> <p>However, all this time I've been paying out of my pockets. Sirus and I both have contributed a massive amount of money to the cause. We are in no way hurting for money at the moment so there is no end of days scenario approaching. However, it is a substantial financial burden. We simply want to offer people the ability to help.</p> <p>Someone said recently the thing he liked about this clan was the fact that there were no forced donations or contributions. Please, please do not take our addition of donation links as a plan to currently or eventually demand scratch from our members. I would rather close the operation down completely than resort to that. </p> <p>Instead, we want you to contribute what you can, when you can, for whatever reason you feel like. </p> <p>Consider this: If every member donated $5/m, we would have the funds to upgrade our bandwidth package. Open new servers. Have competitions with prizes. Add more exciting features to the website (like the fabled ladder, which, to do what we want to do, is simply not in the budget at the moment). </p> <p>We can continue to expand, but we need the help of you all to do so. Anything helps. </p> <p>As said before, those who donate $5 or more will receive a reserved slot in the server (per donation). While it might not seem like a big deal, it is always nice to know you can play whenever you want.</p> <p>Anyway, please don't let this effect your opinion of the community or servers. Those who choose not to donate will not be treated less than those who do. </p> <p>In closing, we appreciate anyone who takes the time to donate to the cause. You are helping Sirus and I out tremendously.</p> <p>Thanks for your continued support! </p> <p>-WDF?</p>  [13:58] TheSpaniard84: I have a kitty stuck to my rump [13:58] WhuTdufK: I suppose that's better than what's normally stuck to your rump.

Do you take cash? And if so, do you want to give folks an address - one that Slippy won't find you at?
Do you take porn? You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

do you take cases of beer? I am not an alcoholic... I am a drunk.... Alcoholics go to meetings. Grumpy wrote:WDF? wrote:Our ... is going up today, actually..... so... yeah... I'll section it. WARNING! Times mentioned in the above post are stated in WHUT time... which is not the time normal humans are accustomed. Whut time is relative. Today is defined as whenever Whut happens to get a bug up his ass and thinks he is gotten sorta of close to being in the mood. The actual real life timeframe for these occurences is unknown at this time. Sometimes it happens more than once in a day and during other periods it would be more like for hell to freeze over than anything actuallly getting done. Currently we are in a time frame where it would seem that there would be more of a chance of Dragon getting a girlfriend as far fetched as that might be than there would be of anything actually happening here.  -YourAimSucks -Reaper o'Blood -{pDs} Bloodhands

It beats him showing up on your doorstep...
