BoltBait Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You may have seen my post in the rants thread: RANT: I am soooo tired of answering the same questions over and over and over and ... I need a change. Well, I've finally had enough! I downloaded The Gimp and I'm done with Paint.NET. I'm a fairly well respected member of this forum and I don't just want to throw that all away. So, I decided to auction off my account to the highest bidder! :shock: Yup, you heard me right... I'm out! (I talked with Rick about this and he's OK with it. Seriously.) So, here's the deal: Post here with your bid for my account here on the Paint.NET board. Highest bid wins the following: [*:1hsex5nm]My username and password[*:1hsex5nm]My avatar and sig.[*:1hsex5nm]Access to all the hidden forums[*:1hsex5nm]The ability to edit other user's posts[*:1hsex5nm]You can ban people or unban people[*:1hsex5nm]You can modify the structure of this message board (make your own forums, etc.)[*:1hsex5nm]You can change people's usernames (including your own)[*:1hsex5nm]You can promote stuff to The Galleria[*:1hsex5nm]Move posts, lock posts, etc. All the normal Mod stuff plus all the Admin stuff![*:1hsex5nm]The Pre-Alpha build of Paint.NET 4.0 that Rick sent me! EDIT: This is VERY rough, but the layer masks work and it does read Photoshop plugins. If the bidding goes high enough I'll throw in the following: [*:1hsex5nm]My Google pages[*:1hsex5nm]The source code to my plugins. (Do with them whatever you want. I'll be developing Gimp plugins now.) If the bidding reaches $5,000 I'll even throw in the source code to my Double-Six Dominoes game. This is serious. Like I said, I've cleared this with Rick (although, he did say that he reserves the right to bid, himself). Bidding ends: Midnight tonight, PST.

vista? Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Me sad about BoltBait going. :wink: In reality, wouldn't it look fishy if a 12 yr old was paying lots of money to an account in the US?! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 No offense but it seems like an odd move So, I place my bid at $0 (once again, no offense, but there is no minimum - negative would be a shade odd so I start at 0) I would write plugins, if I knew what kind of plugins were needed..

Rubrica Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Right, sorry, but is this an April Fools Day joke? Playing along with it, sadly, I don't have a paypal, so cannot do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of your work here, so if the bidding stays reasonable I may jump in before midnight and double the current offer. Just make sure you don't lose my credit card information.

Rubrica Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Kid? If you mean "teenager or child", then which one? There are so many... If you mean "9 years or younger" the only people I can think of are Tendou and myself. Or you might just mean the person who made that quote, although I find it unlikely he is registered here for some reason. vista: probably me.

Simon Brown Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Isn't it a bit dangerous to give mod privileges to someone who just bids high enough? Couldn't it all go wrong? Wouldn't it be better to just choose another mod (like Myrddin)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taboo Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 First of all: He figures that if someone cared that much and had paypal and money, it would probably work out ok. I keep telling people that the only paypal accounts that are operative today are Business Accounts. Second: Highest bid wins the following: [*:1r8qbwvs]You can ban people or unban people[*:1r8qbwvs]The Pre-Alpha build of Paint.NET 4.0 that Rick sent me! I'm only in it for the banning privileges. As things stand right now, I've already uploaded the Pre-Alpha build of Paint.NET 4.0 to my website so anyone can access it - so long as they're willing to deal with all the early-bird bugs.
