Probably not; I'm fairly certain that title is being reserved in case a couple of former Sony posters show up...jeff6286 wrote:As long as you're giving out ranks, can I be the village idiot?

I saw that Woof wants a month, as do I. What do you think of creating a designated list (much like the old TD list) that boardies can add their names to. That way, you'd know that you have a sponsor in advance and you could get the "rent" in a regular and timely fashion. The list could also serve as a kind of honor roll (or rogues gallery), beginning with RandyG, then Woof, then me, etc.alietr wrote:As I've mentioned, I've been paying for the board's server space and another month is due shortly. It's not exactly a huge financial burden at $5/month, but if people would like to voluntarily contribute and help out, I would appreciate it. So here is what I am proposing ... when the rent comes due, so to speak, I will post here and ask for a contributor to pay for the coming month. That person will be the official JBoarder of the Month. The title comes with a special parking space in front of the grandiose JBoard World Headquarters (in a rococo style), which is conveniently located next to Sony's studios in Culver City. You also get a plaque in the lobby, and the entire Jboard staff stands and cheers you when you walk into the JBoard cafeteria.
So here's how I'd like to work it ... if you're interested in contributing, be the first one to reply in this thread after I make a "Rent Due" post. I would really prefer that you volunteer to pay for only one month so as to distribute the contributions more evenly. If you see that your reply was first, then contact me to get me $5 (PayPal is probably easiest). With all this money we're raking in, we may have to re-incorporate in the Caymans.
Many thanks in advance.
And by the way, the rent is coming due for November.
Ah, but this is the JBoard, where half of the battle is beating the competition to the buzzer.Peggles wrote: I saw that Woof wants a month, as do I.

By then next month's rent'll be due!

Your time has come (albeit a bit late). If you're still interested in being JBoarder of the Month, please make a $5 donation to Brian (who is now doing the hosting), and you shall be elevated to that exalted status. And I believe Peggles will be next.Woof wrote:Bravo, Randy! We are all in your debt, big guy. Next round's on me!

I'm waiting for Brian to let me know how to get the rent to him. Tomorrow is January 1 - I don't want my rent to be in arrears. (Please don't have the sheriff evict me!)Peggles wrote:Standing by.

I think this is funny in light of what happened a couple weeks ago.Bamaman wrote:If I sponsor a month, the sony board will probably return to life on the first of the month, leaving me to reign over an empty kingdom.

But, of course, this ... is ... Jeopardy! we're talking about (quite literally) after all, so I like this idea best of all.HugoZ wrote:Ah, but this is the JBoard, where half of the battle is beating the competition to the buzzer.

I think this statement:bpmod wrote:Or maybe I am being too optimistic as to how many people wish to help out.
