I just had an idea...

[Hipnotic_Tranz]

Seeming how we are all so greatful of blade buying a domain, making a site, and putting up his OWN PERSONAL money for our benefit; I have decided that we should buy him something. Sort of a christmas/thank you gift.

I just e-mailed him asking if he was interested in an ATI Radeon 64meg VIVO--and more or less, he was :). That's about a $399 retail card. We could all pitch in $5 and with just 80 people, we would have the money to buy it. Thats not too many considering that there were over 700 registered users at the other PCA board. I think a Radeon would be a mighty fine chirstmas/thank you present

Who's in for it?!

[smb]

count me in if it takes hold !!

[blade]

whooooa, please. I said I wanted a trip to Hawaii.

Seriously, please don't do this. I don't expect anything from anyone here and I never have. That isn't why I do this. Loyalty and supporting this site is far more than enough. Thanks for the thought :)

[wesman6]

If it happens, count me in as well. Blade, we understand that you didn't ask for it, but that's not the point. We want to show our appreciation for a job well done. Think of it as your Christmas bonus. Let's get this thing going soon!

[Snelski]

Be careful with giving gifts now...you see what happened to Roger when he got something for free...now we don't want that happening to blade do we??? j/k of course ;)

[Snelski]

Wow!!! Thanks for my new sig man!!! OK, this calls for a gift!!!

[Lmandrake]

Count me in.

[hammer01]

I'm there as well!

[vwkess]

[Fu Manchu]

blade can i go to hawian trip with you ?

[hammer01]

I would be willing to handle the event if that would be acceptable to you folks.

[blade_146]

I'm in too. Its the least we can do for all you've done for us Mike. :)

[hammer01]

Just let me know where to ship the doughage to or what is going on and it will be there within the hour.

[Koo Koo Mouse]

Count me in to. Just let me know where to send and it's off. :)

[Speck102]

Blade - In no way do I mean to disrespect you from "dis-obaying" what you want (which in short, he said he doesn't need this) but as wesman6 said, it's not the fact that you didn't ask for it, we know you didn't, we just--or atleast I feel obligated to do something for ya. Think of it this way, we are only "out" $5. That's chump-change. When all combined, yes, it's a $400 video card, but it's not like only one of us paid for it all. See what I'm saying man?

hammer01 - That'd be great. I didn't want to handle the money personaly because I don't want all that weight on my sholders ;) Lets see if we can get a couple more replies on this and we'll do it. I'm ready! :)

[vwkess]

I know my $$ would be safe in Tom's hands :)

[hammer01]

Thanks for the vote of confidense Will. :)

[FuNPoLiCe001]

he wants a trip to hawaii wit his babes

*hint hint bright flashing hawaii sign*

:)

[dadx2mj]

Count me in maybe we should pitch n $10 and get him the Radeon and a Hawian hooker or something.

[Hipnotic_Tranz]

hehe dadx2mj is thinking on the right track!

[d_b]

Yup, count me in.

[nexus_7]

[MK888]

Sure thing, I'll toss in some $$$$$

[news]

Since pimpin joe banks through me, I believe I'll through my 5 in with his.

And Blade, if you take him to Hawaii I have to go also.

[Alex00]

I'm im

Alex

[sigel]

just lemme know where to send the cash.

[Hipnotic_Tranz]

So, we're gonna do it, eh? Well, lets go then! We need to get this to Blade by December 25th, so we need to start collecting fast!

We need some things finalized though. Are we all cool with <b><i>hammer01</i></b> getting the cash? I'm fine with it. More importantly, <i><b>hammer01</b></i>, you are willing to take care of the money, right? If you are, are you willing to go out to the local best-buy, CompUSA, or other store to buy the Radeon 64meg VIVO when you get all the money collected?

Lets get this ball rollin'!

[renovation1]

im in and i will send him a pizza to !

[hammer01]

Yeppers I can handle it dudes not a problem.

[Frost]

Mike: Of course you didn't ask for it. Thats why it is a gift. I'm in for the $5. Just like Joe said it isn't $400 from any one of us, it is $5 each. NO big deal!! Let me know where and when to send the cash. Trust me you deserve this!

Frost.

[Hipnotic_Tranz]

Great! This is going to happen, awsome. Ok <b><i>hammer01</i></b>; us members will need your address info so we can send you the money, sound good?

[hammer01]

All right anyone who wants to do this email me and I will return an address.
