Anti-hype attempt

[icthulu]

GAH, I couldn't get on at all today (must have been my computer) thought something had happened!

 

No, not just you, the site was down this afternoon. Not sure how long. I got a 503 error.

 

Come on... Seriously? 6 days? I think I'll mail Ross a check for a DVD copy. THAT will go faster.... Who wants to wager on it?

At this rate you won't even have to Fed-Ex it.

28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds left before we take over Machinima (props if you get the reference).

So does that mean that the end will come because we took over Machinima?

It means the end of Machinima.

Now, are we so sure that's a bad thing?

@Luke McKee updated my sig ANYONE ELSE!!!

Awesome

+rep for you

[OdinsFury]

so i was looking at how many members there are to this site/forum. so far its 2728. if that donation link ever gets up and say if every member, if they are all still active, donated just 10 dollars a peice.......that would be 27,240 dollars towards the cause of civil protection and Freemans Mind and our beloved Accursed Farms! Lets get that link up!!!!!!!!!!

 

and maybe use part of the money to buy the necessary armaments/guns/retired tanks/ambassador pinapples/MP5s to storm and take over Machinima!!

[lynx557]

I'd totally pay $10 for additional CP and FM's it would be sooo worth it. AND THEN ROSS COULD LEAVE MACHINIMA!

@ OdinsFury

So where did that extra $40 go? 2,728 x 10 = 27,280 I say every penny counts.

 

@ Lavaheart

Count me in.

The forum does not have over two thousand members. Those numbers came from the many anonymous and semi-anonymous posts that were imported from the old news commenting system when the forum was created. Posts made by myself, under the username "Waldo" waay back when count as a different account from the one I use now.

However, there are 2874 readers monitoring the RSS feed for www.accursedfarms.com.

 

I agree with OdinsFury. We have a lot of financial potential here. If only the Accursed Donations System was operating...

 

I guess we'll have to way until after The Tunnel is up and Ross finishes relocating.

[Luke McKee]

There are 259 active members, roughly

Yeah, But I bet there are members such as myself (Who only signed up Just this instant..) Who have previously replied under 'guest' .. that have never actually signed up for any forums or whatnot. I read the news, watch the videos, and wait patiently for Ross to shove a big stick up Machinima's ..... Well... Lets just not get into that now .. ... You see though, Even If- For the sake of argument.. We did all pitch in $10.00, and he did make a One time sizeable chunk of money from donations. It would not sustain him in the long-term. .. So lets assume he makes, say $0.50 for every page view that is directed from His site (AF) to the machinima site .. The best way for us to support him is to use diffrent IP addresses (For seperate view counts) so he would make more money.. For Example, If your in a college or High school.. Go to your Libary and Use every computer in the school to visit AF, then watch One video that is posted on machinima... That will make Machinima think he (Ross) has a much larger fan base, hopefully raising the amount he gets per video

This had better come out on friday. Best. Birthday gift. ever!

[Geneaux486]

Machinima.com is familar with the size of Ross Scott's fanbase, I'm not sure it's a matter of The Tunnel being low on their list of priorities. 26 minutes would make for a pretty hefty video, and it's split into two parts at that. Maybe they're having difficulties getting it up?

 

edit: The double entendre was not intentional.

Two reasons this will fail.

1. Computers within an organisation have the same external IP address
   
2. If Machinima get wind of this, Ross may be sued for all the money he's made so far

A better method would be to actually increase his fanbase, by spreading the word!

The best way to support Ross is to promote him and get more people to watch his videos and to help him when the donation button comes around so he can have proper equipment. I would just have your friends watch a couple and spread the word. Faking hits helps no one. Or sig his works in whatever other forums you post in. The only reason I even found his videos was because I stumbled on Concerned Citizen http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-05-01

I probly could, but I'm already way behind in math class...

[lynx557]

It shouldn't be that hard to make a simple banner... Just the freeman's mind logo with some text...
