Message from: jorge.

Also, if anyone wants to make 50x50 icons of X to use with the different ranks, please let me know/send my way, particularly if themed overall (music videos, live performance, funny ones). If we get a couple submissions I can cycle through them.

I reused my previous icons for these ranks and I’d rather something brand new if possible.

You can see the current ones under everyone’s name or go to the member list to see them as an idea.

I know! We appreciate her Delusions enthusiasm for entertaining us, she’s truly exceptional. But thank you Jorgie for your ownership and once in a year dedication to this forum, keeping us together but I the same time separated.

I mean, he’s not wrong

I check in here daily, but I don’t typically post, just check for notifications and swing by the forums for a quick looksie. The benefit of a well-oiled machine is that I’m really only needed in an emergency, like the forum being down or something like that. Very Richard Letoya of me, honestly.

But I had been getting notifications about new board updates for the last 6 months tbh

Browsing through the email archives earlier today came across a lot of emails between him and I from back in the 2010s, and I had honestly forgotten how much responsibility I had at aLD, but Lacey had basically disappeared and it was me heading things and emailing Richard regularly. A lot of work, and all unpaid

It all hit me though, considering how long it’s been and how much has happened in the process. This was the email I found out aRED would be closing for real and that if some version of the site was going to continue, it would be up to me.





Memories

Oh, and of course, I can’t forget his reply to my email telling him the site was ready.



Mind you, this was after investing so much time and money out of my own pocket to make it happen, a person who had never coded anything beyond making things italic in livejournal…. His reply still kills me dead to this day but really, history.

Not Ricky Teflona giving you XtinE energy like this.

I’m sure she cut out “Sent from my iPad, on my couch” from the email signature, tbh.

And like, come the fuck on. aLD ran on a windows mobile phone theme for fucks sake. xRED was a slap in the face with an iPhone, tbh.

No doubt you were the upgrade sis, wbk that.

Now imagine if she had changed out every other homosexual on her staff at the same time.

[rubenprez]

I think it was around 2009, right before Bionic/Burlesque, when I found this community. Not sure if it was LD, AfterLd, Xred, or what but I've been around since then, mostly reading, with a different username of course, I think xben or something (not that I was known).

Anyway, I found a [messy]place[lol] where I felt [still feel] that I belong.

Thank you everyone and thank you Jorge for all that you do.

[Xtinoacer]

Done

[StrippedPart3]

Don’t know if this is the right thread to say this but I’m glad the red text was changed to orange. It was a little jarring and was giving a Halloween vibe or something lol

I do enjoy the red color scheme, I’m not going to even lie about it lol to me, it’s the best representation of Aguilera. RED to me, match-wise. It really mostly just gets used when these things pop up lol

[jorge.]

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We are 75% of the way there in less than 24 hours

We’re getting this done in record time, and just in time lol got the email that the change to the new server was finished this morning about an hour ago, just have to update the auto payment on their end to make it go through.

[jorge.]

grrfrrtrr & thevoice, added you both manually because it marked you as anonymous
