Oh oh my.

Skins must be having some problems in the fund-raising department, because usually he needs only one bonfire to get things going, but now he has two.

17. Bummer! I donated a star to someone else, and did not get to make MY stickie pic.

I thought I followed all the directions, but when I tried to go back & do my stickie, it said I had not donated

I had hoped to donate some more, to get a few more, but I'm holding off for now.. DI will have to be satisfied with my monthly automatic donation

the message I get:

Sorry, you don't have any credits to use on GrovelBot's Big Board. Donate to DU to get credits!

23. I got both emails, but it still won't let me "create"

I just keep getting that same message.

If I donate $50 at once, can I split it up with $10 for 5 people, and get 5 stickies?

25. Just a sec.   

Elad needs to figure out why you didn't get credit.

What is the DU search function?  How is it different from using google to search the site?

Of course they do, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

Anything to separate the primitives from their money.

In the meantime, what the lurking primitives don't understand about this place is that the "shout box" is available to registered members, and if some lurking primitives would just sign up to view that, they would find plenty of useful gossip about primitives that one doesn't get by just reading the threads here as a "guest."

Skimmer would be hurting without mole money.

Similar to most sites, like here for instance.  With it you can search by a poster's name, date range, forum, keyword, etc.  It is easier to find something specific with their built in search function.  However, you can already find most of what you're looking for in the archives without it.  It just may take longer.

Thanks.  I'll stick with the google site search.  There isn't nothing on that list worth paying for.  I got banned after 7 posts the last time I registered there.

$50??!!  That's a lot of money.  Monthly automatic donations?  What a scam.
