One day the site will be gone and you'll sad. Prevent post-xixaxum syndrome by donating.

Did you win money off the Super Bowl? Use that cash toward saving xixax. Still a ways from our goal.

How much are we missing Mac? I already donated. If I donate more we would have to change the name to KalXax.



yeah, how much are we talking that's left to raise? i chipped in but i have no idea if what i contributed makes a difference. i'm ridiculously broke at the moment but i won't be in a couple of weeks and i can help a little more at that time if there's still a need. if you don't want to put up numbers, maybe an infographic showing what we have, what's left to be comfortable, and what's left to hit the minimum would be helpful.

edit: grabbed the quote from the wrong post. yay drunk posting

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

We should have a drunkpostathon to raise money for the site sometime. I don't know how it would work, but we should all set aside a night where we all just get drunk together and post and post in a bunch of threads and have a bunch of conversations about every movie, band and topic ever like we're at a bar or something. We should all just drunk post together sometime.

If that's not the best idea ever, I don't know what is (electricity, maybe)

haven't donated yet this year because i'm a douche but i will, i always coms here from iphone or work these past weeks so paypal is no-no. Lame excuse i know. Ill donate.

You guys were totally fooled, weren't you?

Everything should be back to normal, save a logo issue which is pending while someone who knows more about this shit than I do figures out how to switch it back.

Everyone whose names and profile pictures were changed can revert them back themselves.  April Fools!   :rofl:

Logo is fixed; if you're still seeing the Stefen logo like I was, clear your cache.

That was a pretty good April Fools day joke.  :bravo:

I don't think it will ever be topped.

But I'm biased.

Next year we'll just do the exact same thing but with Pas.

He has pics where he's wearing a goofy mustache that we can use, too. I've seen them.

Perhaps we need to create a new site for Stefen that runs all year. It may be more successful and popular than this one.

Just saw the scroll lamenting the state of this place.  I really don't think it's so bad.  I still stop by almost every day.  I just don't have much to say, and don't see nearly as many movies as I used to (no art houses close by, and who wants to pay to sit with a bunch of strangers).  I did however vacation in Alabama a few weeks ago, and I saw a couple good movies at the dollar theatre there that were still relatively new.  The place was PACKED on a Saturday night, which was pretty great.

Seems to be a TV renaissance of sorts, too (and has been for the past several years).  Greatly loking forward to Breaking Bad this summer, and Mad Men in 2012.

I assumed that everybody used that. I don't even know how I would use this or any forum without it.
