Ok Mr. Softie.

I would give someone 20 easy if I really wanted my photos off.


( oh sorry, I thought Ali was being sarcastic. I hardly think 5 dollars is extortion)

I was joking. No sarcasm. lol I thought it was funny.

eta: Is there a minimum amount before it becomes extortion? I thought it could be any amount (or thing of value) being held to ransom for a desired outcome. $5 is a lot of money in some cultures.

also eta: What do you call it before you hit the minimum amount? lol

Woah, WTF? I had just been thinking that BD was the sanest noob we've had in ages. I must have blinked or something, what happened?

I liked BD, and was pleased she was joining us. She jumped right into a lot of the mindless association threads. Nothing wrong with some mindless posts. I don't think we treated her badly at all. The only attitude she got was when she wanted to go changing things here with the avatars.

She really seemed to know the Cellar though. Like how did she know to ask Undertoad to delete the pictures? He doesn't exactly advertise who he is.

I was the one to suggest avatars. She just joined in.

That was what I was thinking, gum. I liked her right away. Like, I should say. It's a shame that things went this way. I really didn't think we were particularly harsh or that we ignored her on purpose...

I know fitting into a tight group like this can be tricky, but....I mean... every one of us was a noob at first, right? You have our attention now, I'd say...

Would you give it another shot, brill?

She's taken all of her pictures down; but, I'm sure you already had her image burned into your hard drive. CONFESS!
