you know? i definitely think we're more than due

happy birthday katt

happy arbitrarily-determined day of recognition you ageless being of wonderment

[omitted]

the noise breakdown now is FFA/Rants/Dumpster Fires - IB-type content is mostly in FFA and babbling stuff is kind of spread across all three, so depending on your point of view, either IB won because they have the closest thing to a dedicated folder or babbling won because it is home in all three

yeah, all the old accounts are still active and have the 10/22/15 registration date

Got home from work at 10, watched some new mandalorian, and playing a couple games before zonking out for the night

The guy from South America

bnjrivera is still there

We have a FB page for UEMB, but it can't hurt to have (and I'm sure there might be) more groups to organize people and keep connected. You should totz link the boards though, I want people to know UEMB is the home base for the extended community - even for people who don't know we're still here or just haven't made the jump. Also, there is also a UEMB discord (floated in the community folder).

all duzi gotta do is exist and boards people congregate - we should get her on the payroll to mention us in her boardisms cuz I'm all tapped out but first we'd need a payroll

Someone was causing trouble. I blame @duzitickle

Happy birthday molar

Hi all! In last year's inaugural drive, we successfully raised $520 to keep the lights on, and another $620 for sick kids via St. Jude's. It was enough of a success that we're ready for round two. Here's how it will work this year - all money donated to the server fund will be split 50/50, with half funding website costs and half going to a charity selected by you. A number of charities have been brought up for this event, including: ASPCA Code.org Extra Life Winn Feline Foundation Alley Cat Allies If you are interested in one of these, or another charity program, please speak up and discuss! We will send the funds to whichever program garners the most support, made out in the name of J. Michael Crow (Admin/Luuv). All donations dated 12/4/19 through the end of the 2019 will be treated as part of the drive and split 50/50. Anyone who donates $20 or more during the event can line up for a custom rank as thanks, and anyone who donates can cash in on some free rep points if they like - just let me know in this thread or via PM! Please let us know your preference of charities, or why your charity would beat someone else's charity in a fistfight. And again, the list I've included is not comprehensive, it is made up of various charities that people have brought up. Let us know if you have any questions or have any ideas on how to improve the drive. Thanks!

I'm talking six-figure loans with two-figure interest backlogs that are higher than most people's principal.

So the question for high-balance individuals becomes: do you pay the minimum and let the balance grow on the hope that you pay 37 cents on the dollar in two decades, or do you pay enough to actively shrink the balance? I've been in purgatory, paying enough to freeze the interest and shave a little off the top, while trying to figure out the answer. But the reality is that there are so many variables (politics, decades) that there is no objectively right answer.

no

I was hoping to send out an e-blast tonight announcing this year's charity/fundraiser drive and will mention this too like I did last year, unless you don't want me too.
