AN ANKYLOSAURUS FOR US
Posts

As I have alluded to in the past, ankylo is a "shadow" admin here who does a helluva lot of work on the site behind the scenes. He builds and manages our web server and database backend, handles backups and migrations, sets up websites and FTP access, manages and applies all software patches for the server, administrates our development server and code repositories, and that's just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head!
He also does coding on the site itself, frequently fixing bugs and adding new features. If something is broken (a.k.a. if I break something) he is the go-to guy to fix it. I rely on him a lot, and all he gets in return is a crummy makerscore achievement. Without him, there would be no RMN.
I propose that we all chip in a little bit of money and gift it to ankylo as a thank you for all of his hard work

DONATE HERE
I am using the RMN paypal for collecting donations, since it is easiest to facilitate the collection pool using its account.
Send me (kentona) a PM if you donate
That way I can track donations separately from the regular RMN donations and tally up a total to gift to ankylo.

Thank you for all of your support! I will do a final tally and gift the results to ankylo on October 1st. I will assume that any donation will be private unless you specify otherwise. If you want me to list your name publicly in this thread, let me know. If you also want me to list your donation amount, let me know. If you want to remain private but want your donation amount to be public, let me know.
The money will be for ankylo to do what he wants with it. He could buy a new TV, invest it in the stock market, blow it all away on bubblegum, or retire off of the generosity of the RMN userbase and leave forever

This is a great idea! Ankylo always takes such good care of us! I sent in $22. Here's hoping we can get a great gift for Anky! :D

Do we get an achievement? :D
some people are whining that I give away too many achievements, weakening the entire achievement-getting concept.
If anybody gets an achievement from this, I kinda feel that it should be ankylo, and this achievement.
That's just me, though.

You pay by having achievements, which brand you forever as the kind of nerd who gets achievements on a RPGMaker site.

Donated $30 to the hero that RMN needs, but not the one we deserve.
author=Red_Novayou got the one you deserve - me. A disinterested, apathetic, narcissistic man-child with a false sense of humility, biting wit, and general ineptitude with personal relationships, and a complete inability to deal with conflicts.

That's our leader!

I think an apathetic leader who only pops in to joke and make snarky comments once in a while, while also maintaining a positive attitude and general feeling of goodwill, is the best kind of leader.

We wouldn't have you any other way~ ^.^
I sent in some monies. Exchange rates suck, btw. I think it was about $20? Maybe a bit less. >.<; (It was $20AU when it started, though, so who knows? Our dollar is shot atm)

Us reptiles got to look out for each other!
Technically speaking, an ankylosaur would be closer to a bird than a reptile.
