You have just entered room "lastcall."
loganh4005: no
dfuser: HELLO???
Animadoria: i guess not cause i don't see it
dfuser: What the fuck was that
Xak: I thought it was just my connection hahah
dfuser
: LOL
nicholas0: did the server kill itself right then and there
luisleandro2005: I got jumpscared by aim reconnecting while i was playing san andreas lol
dskooper: what the fuck happened
nicholas0: i panicked and got my log safely so
nicholas0: that's good
chrmdr324: I saluted my computer screen for a moment there.
AdamTheStick: yahoo's corporate spies are sabatoging
11111
has entered the room.
dfuser: I pulled my log post-disconnect
dskooper: no anima your message did not go through
invislol: tony's fucking with the system
Animadoria: Logan, I am truly sorry about that, and I never ever wanted you to feel forced to donate. I feel like absolute garbage for making you and everyone else feel that
nicholas0: tony's ragebaiting us
dfuser: Sending these two messages in case they did not come through
dfuser: clair 11:06 pm Even if NINA was making a profit, I don't feel like it's a 'comfortable' profit. The usage of the funds (alleged) going straight down to Tony doesn't feel too harmful, given his explanation of it being spent into his family. At the same time however ... does anyone have any information on what else Tony does day-to-day? Like did he have a day job, was NINA his one source of income *?invislol has left the room. 11:06 pm clair 11:07 pm Does someone have what Tony said about how much NINA was making compared to expenses
Animadoria: I keep thinking of what to say but it just feels like excuses. I honestly don't know what to say
dfuser: If you don't believe in it being excuses then I have reasons to believe you
AdamTheStick: i say, all is forgiven
AdamTheStick
: i enjoyed this server
chrmdr324
: I'm not too upset about it. I only wanted to play with something that I hadn't seen in years...
Phlud: doesnt matter at this point
nicholas0: i dont think much of this is your fault anima
AdamTheStick: yeah
dskooper
: anima is not entirely at fault
invislol: it was tony's fault tbh
Animadoria: Logan - are you still in a dire situation? I feel like I must help you.
dskooper: tricky tony >:o
leefymoon has entered the room.
John Travoltage: Well, for my part I think you still qualify for the one mulligan I allow public figures :-)
leefymoon: im back
AdamTheStick: ah leefy you're back
invislol
: same here
Animadoria: jesus christ
leefymoon: had a heart attack when i got back ngl
chrmdr324: I got to actually use AOL 4.0! That was kind of worth it for the nostalgia trip, even though I'd only ever seen other people use it before, and I'm pretty sure that was at least 5.0...
John Travoltage: Tony, though... the jury is still out
Xak: Not gonna be able to work on my 1337 AOL progs :'(
czarinasqueaks: i just prefer the AIM client myself
invislol: tony's not getting a shit's worth of forgiveness from me
chrmdr324: Hey leefymoon, I asked earlier and you didn't seem to notice, but can I get your Discord handle?
dfuser: Animadoria do you have access to the NINA nodes rn
seXy: theres always p3ol /s
dfuser
: Could you see what happened for it to drop like that
Xak: lmfao for 3.0 at best
Animadoria
: Tony was going through cancer and most of the donations were to cover for treatment, but in hindsight I do feel like we should've prioritized other things and I just feel absolutely... jesus. I'm just so sorry
dfuser: Was probably peering go boom
invislol: oh
invislol: shit
dskooper: cancer????
Animadoria: Yes I was the one that restarted it, I don't know what happened, it just stopped responding
dfuser: Okay yeah then that like makes sense, holy shit
AdamTheStick: we all agree that we hate yahoo for ruining this server
leefymoon
: chrmdr its leefylavish
Animadoria: I saw a bunch of "X left the chat" so I just restarted it
John Travoltage: Oh snap... my uncle died from cancer earlier this year :'(
chrmdr324: Thanks!
Animadoria: and my messages weren't going through
loganh4005: Animadoria: Logan - are you still in a dire situation? I feel like I must help you I should probably be fine, it's not that dire, still it's def not the greatest (aka I should probably make a round of domain renewals, and Visa gift cards are very high fees, plus currency conversion) but I should be fine
Animadoria
: Logan if there's anyway I can help, please let me know. I need to come up with a way to make
Animadoria: Like, you guys donated, so I'm coming up with something to at least make it worth your buck
loganh4005: (anyways, it's not like I have any way of getting money lol)
dfuser
: My grandfather died in 2013 and I thought we'd be ina pretty shitty spot after that. Family ended up coming through just fine, even though it was like.. tail end of Great Recession stuff
Animadoria: I know it's too late but
AdamTheStick: this was worth my buck anima
Animadoria
: you don't have paypal?
AdamTheStick: this was a great server
dfuser
: "Like, you guys donated, so I'm coming up with something to at least make it worth your buck" I feel like reimbursement isn't too much of a problem for people who have jobs to immediately recuperate those costs
luisleandro2005: i lost two relatives due to cancer and honestly remembering that makes me sad, my grandma from my dad's side in 2017 and my aunt in 2023
dfuser: But for those who were scrapping to donate to a project they felt like they believed in, and then ended up getting the short stick uh
dfuser: Then yeah, that's fair
Animadoria: Can I just ask for one thing from all of you? It might be too much to ask.
invislol: sure
dfuser: What's goin on
AdamTheStick: go ahead
randomhuman
: go for it
leefymoon: i lost my uncle to als so i understand
John Travoltage: If this is a shakedown it won't work on me /j
Animadoria: I know everything feels like a bunch of bullshit and I get it, I'd feel the same way. But I worked on this for many years. Tony, you can say whatever you want, but he also worked on this. I think we did a good job, with a lot of asterisks but
Animadoria: Since it's going away thank you for everything
Animadoria: Thank you all for believing even for a tiny bit
loganh4005: Animadoria: Like, you guys donated, so I'm coming up with something to at least make it worth your buck Alright. I don't believe all the blame should be on you, even now, you are here for your community to try to help them, same thing can't be said about tony tho >_<
invislol

John Travoltage: Might as well (again)... <3
randomhuman: thank you anima, for making this even possible
Xak: Thanks Anima, release the Epstein files AOL server code

AdamTheStick: thank you anima <3
Animadoria
: We might release some source code but we gotta be careful not to let AOL bite us in the ass
Xak: Yes
chrmdr324
: Indeed.
invislol: yep
nicholas0: okay i cant get cloudflare pages to put it on my custom domain but

dfuser: :-P
