OrangeMane: The SAINTS are kicking our ass, and I don't like it. - The Orange Mane

BroncoBuff · 07-26-2008, 07:54 PM

(I Better post this thread before the "On-Season" mode kicks in.)

Taco John: Have those of us who spend hours on here every day, those of us who've begged you to LET US HELP YOU make this site better, help you bring back Avatars, User Notes, "Who's Online", "Who's in This Thread," etc ... those of us (me actually) who started donation drives the past two seasons in a row (notice we skipped it this year?), those of us (me again) from whom you've received and ignored 6 or 8 reps, 3 or 4 PMs, and 2 threads on the topic (not counting avatar threads), been given a plan?

Have any of us been told - exactly how does SaintsReport.com manage to host 400-900 users simultaneously, with lightning fast speed, offering EVERY feature we don't have ... and then some we've never heard of? All with software called "vbPortal Version 3.6.0," which very similar to vBulletin?

Oh, and you wanna really be embarrassed? The top new thread in SaintsReport right now is "Can We Go Undefeated This Year? Seriously. I'm not kidding ... click it. Man, NOBODY on this site is fool enough to post such a thread, and yet here we are poking around like cavemen in the stone age. Why? How much does "vbPortal Version 3.6.0" cost? I offered to write a decent-sized check (never heard back from you), and I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to move up ...at least to the Saints level. Nobody wants to OWN this with a donation TJ, the site is yours. We're just happy to be here ... so let's ditch the folding chairs and get some nice Lazy-Boy recliners in here.

We should have at least as nice a facility as the lowly Saints, anyway.

BroncoBuff · 07-26-2008, 07:59 PM

I'll put my money where my mouth is: $100 donation from me if we can work toward catching up with the Saints.

Sassy · 07-26-2008, 08:00 PM

Dang....kicking our ass and we haven't even hit OM weekend yet!

ludo21 · 07-26-2008, 08:00 PM

amen...

Not that I would donate much, or anything, but i would like to hear our options.

broncocalijohn · 07-26-2008, 08:01 PM

dont you think it cost booko bucks to give money to RP campaing? Once the loans are paid back, we will be able to talk about upgrading around 2011. Unfortunatly, that will be when RP announces another run for the presidency!

I'll match BroncoBuff's $100 donation...tell me where to send it.

Mention nothing of Orangemane when you send this.

It's a joke, folks. Don't send money to this address.

CBF1 · 07-26-2008, 08:14 PM

I do not make the jack that Buff makes, but put me down for $40.00 for the upgrade.

TheReverend · 07-26-2008, 08:14 PM

I have to admit, I'm happy with things the way they are, but will be happy to donate to help save TJ from another season or two of b****ing.

ScottXray · 07-26-2008, 08:19 PM

I'll kick in 50 if it will help the site. And 25 just to keep it going.
Tj?

I don't make that much, not what I used to that's for sure. But ferhevinsake, I average between 2 and 3 hours a day in here! I'm only conscious 16 freaking hours a day ... a one-time $100 donation seems pretty reasonable. I watch TV 2-3 hours a day too, and I spent $1200 freaking dolars on a TV

If we only knew how much we need for a) bigger bandwidth, double what we have I figure, and b) that new vPortal software ... at least then we'd have a goal to shoot for. But thusfar, TJ's kept all that info to himself.

CBF1 · 07-26-2008, 08:24 PM

Taco just called me and said he does not like you

Kaylore · 07-26-2008, 08:26 PM

It would be really nice if Avatars would come back.

BroncoBuff · 07-26-2008, 08:30 PM

Arrrrgggghhhh... I can't resist! This was my joke to kick off last year's OM fund raiser:

If you read even ONE post on OrangeMane
without contributing .... that's STEALING!

I do love Betty White ...

Jason7730 · 07-26-2008, 08:31 PM

I have donated in the past, and would do so again if it would help make our site better. ( Because we are the best fans in the world). Go Broncos!!!!!!!

BroncoBuff · 07-26-2008, 08:34 PM

If we're really "the best fans in the world," then why do the Saints have plush Lazy-Boy recliners, while we're stuck with folding chairs?

Inkana7 · 07-26-2008, 08:36 PM

It builds character.

Gcver2ver3 · 07-26-2008, 08:37 PM

avatars aren't that big a deal to me anymore...

the only thing that really needs to be addressed is the board slowing or going down on gameday because it can't support all the Bronco fans on it...

that is REALLY stupid...

i'd consider donating to help that cause...

broncofan2438 · 07-26-2008, 08:42 PM

Wow, their board is impressive........

It's the "No pain no gain" philosophy I guess. Lol. Really, a few years ago I watched the Broncos play out here at Sun Devil stadium and those flat aluminum bleachers made my ass go numb by the second half. I could have used a Lazy Boy (with built in A.C. )

broncofan2438 · 07-26-2008, 08:47 PM

What would it take for us to get this board going strong
