Argh! Nate, I was going to throttle you if this hadn't been a joke! I was boiling with anger. XD I was gonna say, "If you're going to make us PAY to visit YWS, I'm leaving." Cause seriously. Your whole idea of YWS was a free website where writers could learn.

Argh. You suck.

Would love help on this.

Nate -- Think that was Snoink. And if you did that, you would cause site wide chaos. Might break the planet, as people would log on to see the trick, would ask for the opinions of those in different countries, who would then call in yet more friends... You would have a planet-wide search party over analyzing everything and jumping at shadows. Then again, with so many users online, it might break YWS.


EDIT:
Yup. Jared's got it right. Few hours of panic, there, lol. Now we need to think of something to do to you on April Fools.

As soon as I saw Nate had posted something in randomness...

*refuses to be gullible*

It would make you very rich though, :)

People seriously fell for this? Oh gosh, Nate you are my hero!

And by the way, this was so worth the three cents I just spent viewing all the comments XD

Lol, I wouldn't leave, but I'd be annoyed.

Best thing about YWS is that its free :D

Dreamer, I said "if" it was implimented so I didn't fall for it XD I also put "lol" at the front to show that I had understood Nate's cruel, sick joke.

:p

To be honest, if I had to pay to look at this site, I wouldn't bother. I like it here, it's a great forum, but I don't have a lot of money just lying around, and I wouldn't spend it on an internet forum. Even if it was just 1cent a page. I wouldn't spend money on just idly wandering around the internet, I wouldn't pay to look at google or hotmail or whatever, I spend far too much time just randomly looking at stuff without really thinking.

So even though I like it here, if I had to start giving out money and bank details or paypal details, I'd just go somewhere else =[

Maybe you should set up a kind of donation thing, then people who have some money can donate to set you through the bad times. I'd actually be more likely to do that if I knew it was voluntary. Or a premium membership sort of thing, like they do at LJ or diaryland.

Ick. I don't like the whole "premium" idea. Far too many sites do that, and I left every last one of them, because I think that money shouldn't be able to buy you more privileges than those who can't or don't want to pay. Because frankly, I'm fifteen. Yeah, I have a bank account. I could possibly pay for premium if I really wanted to, but I'd rather save that money for college or the car I have to buy myself next year. It's just tempting. And I don't want that temptation to be implemented on YWS and I certainly don't want to leave YWS, but if we were to ever implement "premium", sadly, I must admit, I'd be gone. *poof*

I thought you were serious. *head/desk* I wondered why something like this was posted in randomness but it never occured to me that it was one of your jokes.

As Jared said:
Argh. You suck.


Considering my money supply is low every time other than my birthday and Christmas and I view tons of pages a day on here, I wouldn't leave but I'd probably limit my visits.

Oh, I really didn't realise that this was a joke. Oooh, Nate. I'm going to come stalking you at midnight for this. :D

And to think that I was the first to reply to this post and I made everyone fall for this. :evil: :D

-laughs- I wasn't fooled for one second. Reading the panicked comments was more amusing then the joke itself! Hehe.
It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

Nate, normally I'd trample someone for making a joke like this but because you're Mr.Chimpy and I LOVE chimps I'm letting you slide on this one.
