I’d like to just say another thanks to everyone who helps me raise money on the DL for Vlad. I know he never asks for anything in return for his constant maintenance and contributions to the site that a lot of us enjoy, but its nice to do something to give back once n’ a while. I’m sure vlad will take some pics of the card i gave him at some point and will have something to say about this, he is probably mad at me but he can get over it. It’s that russian tough love.
Anyways, anyone who didnt get a chance to donate, or would like to now can feel free to take it up with Vlad. I’m sure he wont discriminate against you late comers and not let you, since others got a chance (i love being sneaky). But seriously… If you enjoy the site and want to doante (give willingly, under no obligation) to help him get the site transfered to VBulletin, and the new server… let us know!
Oh and for the record, i’m awesome with fund raisers. $345 in 3 days. Not to shabby. :tong
I sincerely thank you all for donating and Swifty for organizing something like this out of the blue.
I was wondering what was so important that he wanted to tell me at the lot, when he kept messaging me making sure I would make it out there :ponder
I never expect anything from people because thats simply the way I grew up being back in Russia. Most families over there aren’t wealthy and count their pennies rubles from week to week, but the hospitality is second to none. When you come visit another family, they will offer you everything they have to eat, even if that means they won’t have breakfast the next day and it’s rude to refuse and say no. Growing up like that makes you accustomed to be polite and appreciative of anything given, but also a little bit guilty about it every time it happens. That is why I seldom agree to take anything offered.
I do however appreciate the gesture and the money raised, which will allow me to buy vBulletin software and lets us upgrade to bigger and better forums with more features for you guys to enjoy. :giggedy
You guys came through big time and there is nothing I can type that would allow me to express exactly how much I admire the act, so I will just keep working on improving the website and putting on ChillNGrill’s for everybody, which has always been my way of saying Thank You
Next time I see you I’ll slip you a few bucks, Vlad
And Swifty, you might want to keep this on the down-low, but I know the kramerbuccs24 Foundation is having a fundraiser, would you like to advertise for me for a cut off the top?
