I'm continually impressed by Xixax's foresight to title the originally TV thread "the small screen" - since most of us watch the series on all kinds of non-TV small screens. this forum is truly ahead of 2003.

Greetings, fellow Xixaxers! The time has come once again to ask for donations. We've put a PayPal button at the bottom of the page.

Renewal time is approaching in March. I'll go through the details.




Here's a rundown of our recent cost history:

$78.75 – GoDaddy 3-Year Hosting & Domain (used some major coupons) – March 2013
• We then received a donation of $40.00 – April 2013
• Stopped asking for donations
$105.00 – Registered for DMCA compliance (so we won't get sued) – March 2015
$107.04 – GoDaddy 1-Year Hosting & Domain (no discounts for renewal) – March 2016

Total goal:
$250.79




More details for transparency:


March 2013



March 2016

One more donation and I'll change my avatar.

If you're taking suggestions, I would like to nominate this gif of Eli Manning watching his brother win the Super Bowl.

Let's get a few more contributions! We'll end the donation begging in less than two weeks. It would be lovely to wrap it up with a bang! (To mix metaphors. Unless you're mishandling fireworks.)

Fine, but only slightly more than I donated to Bernie, because I've known Xixax longer.

Yeah, forget Bernie Sanders! Throw a little cash to the refuge you come to talk about 'Bernie' or 'Burn After Reading,  Bernardo Bertolucci, even Gael Garcia Bernal...

Congratulations, Xixax. You raised $184 to keep the site running!

We are genuinely humbled by the turnout. This is a pretty fantastic result, and in less than two months!

So we're good for now! I renewed our web hosting today. If you haven't, please consider donating sometime this year. Even small amounts are meaningful. (Technically a bit short of the goal, and renewal will come around again.) Donation begging stops today, though.

Thanks again, everyone.  :love:

And we definitely used the money to renew the web hosting, not to organize an admin-only poker tournament, that's crazy talk and you should put it out your minds immediately.
