I wish, sis lol PayPal takes some coins when I transfer to the bank so that’ll make the difference tbh

Almost there, ladies and gents. We might actually meet this within the first 24 hours.

I can already hear the complaints about not seeing this on time sorry folks! But thank you for the incredible response

Agugaga, is there any return investment left this year?

I do enjoy the red color scheme, I’m not going to even lie about it lol to me, it’s the best representation of Aguilera. RED to me, match-wise. It really mostly just gets used when these things pop up lol

I hate this new orange color! Bring back the signature red!!

Donate and I’ll consider it sis.

I’m gonna wait as much as I can to make the payment (has to be within 24 hours of invoice being received), but for sure we’re sticking around

grrfrrtrr & thevoice, added you both manually because it marked you as anonymous

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We are 75% of the way there in less than 24 hours

We’re getting this done in record time, and just in time lol got the email that the change to the new server was finished this morning about an hour ago, just have to update the auto payment on their end to make it go through.

Not Ricky Teflona giving you XtinE energy like this.

I’m sure she cut out “Sent from my iPad, on my couch” from the email signature, tbh.

And like, come the fuck on. aLD ran on a windows mobile phone theme for fucks sake. xRED was a slap in the face with an iPhone, tbh.

No doubt you were the upgrade sis, wbk that.

Now imagine if she had changed out every other homosexual on her staff at the same time.

Just say you hate London., tbh.

Mind you, this was after investing so much time and money out of my own pocket to make it happen, a person who had never coded anything beyond making things italic in livejournal…. His reply still kills me dead to this day but really, history.

I mean, he’s not wrong

I check in here daily, but I don’t typically post, just check for notifications and swing by the forums for a quick looksie. The benefit of a well-oiled machine is that I’m really only needed in an emergency, like the forum being down or something like that. Very Richard Letoya of me, honestly.

But I had been getting notifications about new board updates for the last 6 months tbh

Browsing through the email archives earlier today came across a lot of emails between him and I from back in the 2010s, and I had honestly forgotten how much responsibility I had at aLD, but Lacey had basically disappeared and it was me heading things and emailing Richard regularly. A lot of work, and all unpaid

It all hit me though, considering how long it’s been and how much has happened in the process. This was the email I found out aRED would be closing for real and that if some version of the site was going to continue, it would be up to me.

The good sis PassionSCARS was just being enthusiastic in her desire to keep this rotting corpse afloat, I can’t blame her for trying. I did have to come out of my cave even though I was doing just fine, but I had to set up this whole thing anyways so it was a timely intervention.

I know! We appreciate her Delusions enthusiasm for entertaining us, she’s truly exceptional. But thank you Jorgie for your ownership and once in a year dedication to this forum, keeping us together but I the same time separated.

In a little over an hour we’re already a quarter of the way there. You guys continue to inspire my cold dead heart

it also demoted you from mod cause it added you to the vip 25 as default if you didn't notice, worry not, I've fixed it already.

If you want to demote me you do not need to go this length.

Literally not donating one fucking nickel without a guarantee that I will be demoted as well.

do it now! guaranteed to demote you!

it's literally for the duration of the begathon, so donate to make it go away quicker <3

but it's a nice surprise, although hidden in plain sight lol I'll tell y'all when this is over

I am so excited OMG!!!!

Is it nudes from Matt!

I was only able to afford Jorge, namely because I was able to scam him using my own name. Jordan said it was 100 per inch and that got expensive fast, tbh.

Received

it also worked automatically, so thank god because I did not look forward to doing that manually one by one

Jimmy wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 8:48 pm I already donated but it does not show it!!

I added you manually since I got the email immediately, but for some reason it didn't update on the board end. hmmmmm.

Random things, since I didn't want to post it in the thread opener: we were down for a few hours (not down, but inaccessible) as I did everything in the background, so this is all that I did...

- updated the board (from 3.3.10 to 3.3.14; I hadn't updated shit in a bit)
- updated the board's extensions (literally 24/34, so that took a good long while)
- upon updating, realized that all the little animated image ranks below the user's names in their posts had suddenly stopped being animated, becoming just static, and since I didn't have the original files available, I just went by and resized previous x icons I had and loaded those up instead. if someone wants to make a whole set with more particular images, hit me up, I just didn't have more time available.
- updated the color scheme & the header
- set up the donation drive

everything should be working as intended, but do tell a bitch if something isn't.
