Specifically, the way he suggested we "should have" done certain things. Like I said, I know he means well, but really, there are better ways to phrase a suggestion; without it coming across more like criticism. Just little things, y'know.

that's about as little as it gets in terms of being abrasive.... i don't see how it was abrasive at all.

His criticizing when Taryn is just trying to do something good for the board IS abrasive. Of course there are better examples, but she's saying that he can easily suggest ideas politely rather than criticize that she didn't think of them first.
Okay Thayer? Be nice.

he was saying how it could have been organized better without any trace of rudeness.
as opposed to saying that it sucked.

I wasn't harsh, rough or sharply disagreeable. Those seem to be what dictionary.com lists for abrasive, at least for those definitions that are applicable to this situation. Criticism isn't always bad, and my posts do not show themselves to be evident of destructive criticism. I fail to see the problem here with me being concerned about something that's rather important.

Thayer -- regardless of how you feel about it, I was still upset and offended by your criticism. I tried to point out to you very politely how your comments made me feel. Now I am further offended that you are arguing about this, and in particular using "dictionary.com" to nitpick my use of the word "abrasive".

I still find you to be 'sharply disagreeable'. And I would thank you not to further this discussion in this thread as I don't think it benefits anybody, particuarly now that I have taken your criticism on board.

I would appreciate it if you could be more polite in future, however considering your current attitude to my remarks I don't think that will be happening.

Knuck -- read first post of thread.

Not to be rude, but why do you people bid on this but not just donate to the board? This is the person who killed

mcw -- I would also thank you to stop perpetuating this argument. To be really honest, I don't know what you're doing in this thread in the first place, other than to help perpetuate an argument, so I would really appreciate it if you would go do something else. Thanks

Okay, I've had enough.
Stop being nitpicky babies, this argument is not contributing anything. Just drop it.

Post in here if you are serious about bidding, and keep to the topic. Otherwise, please leave. There's infinite supply of drama on the rest of the board.

Sooo... we have 5 days..

I will give back the donations we have received and notify serverbeach we are shutting the machine down on the 24th of september


Uhm......

Does that mean we should not go ahead with this?

I am a little bit confused, but if I read this correctly, it means that we don't need donations for the board.

Which makes the purpose of this Auction.... well... yeah. :-/ In which case uhm.... well, I am still willing to sell artwork, but the money wouldn't go to the board, which was the motivation for most of you bidding in the first place.

Uh... yeah..

Post re-stickied.

The auction is STILL... well, active to put it that way. All donations will STILL go towards the new server, which is going to cost us $40 (possibly $30) a month. We already have some money from other donations but this auction is going to raise that by at least 5 months if everyone honors their pledges.

With the new server, we're going to have a lot more control on configurating the server itself as well as making tweaks. We're not bound by what the server's set to/what software's on it. So it's going to be a good improvement.

I leave all the other auction-based details, including payment method and such, to Taryn. If for some reason you do NOT wish to honor your donation for some reason, then say so and we'll go down to the next highest bidder.

Board might be offline for a LITTLE bit depending on the speed of the server move. There'll definitely be a little bit of flux (maybe some slow load times/etc.) over the weekend, it seems.

Thing is, I might not be able to send the money right away. I might get around converting into 70 USD this weekend, but whatever.

Then, I could get someone in europa to receive the money for me and then donate it. Know someone I trust...

So uhm, the auction is over.

I guess she can continue with the board sketches now. If she still feel like it.

No one is forcing her to.
