Most of the prepaid cards I buy have a $5 activation fee. I tend to stick around Visa/MasterCard prepaid cards. I believe GreenDot cards have no activation fee.

I'd like to take a moment to sincerely apologize for my behavior and attitude towards SG as of lately. I'm not gonna lie, I've been a pretty big mess as of lately. Going through a lot of things and instead I take a lot of my frustration with rage. I tend to let my anger get the best of me and it's something I have been working on and getting help with. I do a lot of acting without thinking things through, and tarnishing my reputation was one of those things. I love SG, always have and always will. This place has been my home for over 2 years of my life, this was my getaway from the life I was living. I can't stress enough how grateful I am for finding such a well structured and loving community. For the many years I've been playing online video games, I was pretty young and I used to hang around the adults. I got tired of all the shit, so I made my own community which ended up falling within a few months. When I joined SG, I was greeted by many friendly faces to which some have become people who I am very close friends with today. Of course there was negativity, but for the first time, I was in a grouping of people who loved to have fun and were very outgoing. I fell in love with everything about SG, and decided within a few days of joining that I wanted to be one of the pillars holding the community strong. This lead to me try-harding for a staff position, but I tried a bit too hard and was too caught up in the fact that I was still a relatively new member. I then became admin and went up the ranks (but most of you already know this). Throughout my time here in SG, I have been in moments of joy, sadness, anger, frustration, etc. A lot of times people ask me, "why do you care so much about an online gaming community?" SG holds a special place in my heart and it always will. I'd like to start off by apologizing to the former and current staff who I worked with, because I'm sure some of you are unsure of how someone who was as dedicated as myself dug himself into such a deep ditch. Although I may have some disagreements with how things are handled/decisions are made, I genuinely appreciate all of the work you guys put into keeping this place alive. You are all wonderful people and I know you are all doing your best to keep this community solid so someone perhaps others will feel the way I feel about this place. Next, I'd like to apologize to the regulars and donors of this community. Towards the end of my time as staff, I may have come across as a troll and an asshole, but I'd like to reassure you that is not me. If I ever mistreated you or spoke of you in a rude manner, then I apologize for doing so. You guys are the reason that the staff strives to work hard every day. Although you guys aren't administrating servers, you're the ones throwing ideas and throwing money at the community, which we have had a surplus of so we know as a community we're doing something right. Last but not least, I'd like to apologize to all of you as a whole from a friend's perspective. Regardless of rank, I have made friends with a LOT of you and with some of you I really took for granted and said/did things to ruin our relationships. I am deeply sorry for all I have done wrong and look forward to becoming friends with those I have yet to talk to and reconstruct my friendship with those whom I have ruined. I will completely understand if you decide that you do not wish to do so. I understand that my actions and words were very rude and unnecessary, and I am deeply sorry. Thanks for reading and I hope I will be able to fix what I broke here before my return here as of a few days ago.

I've heard @Bread speak before.

SA-Subs are immune to SA's and CA-Subs are immune to CA's. For the longest time, SA-Subs were able to target CA's. SA -> SA-Sub -> CA -> CA-Sub On TTT, the SA and CA subscribers have access to commands such as !maul, !explode, and !gimp unlike normal SA's and CA's. A few issues with this are that if a CA is targeted by a CA-sub with gimp, they are not able to ungimp themself. Also, I do agree that SA's and CA's who subscribe should receive more perks, but not if it going to grant them more power within the servers.

I have always been against the idea of granting those staff members (excluding AO+) extra immunity and commands because of their ability to subscribe. Not everyone can afford the $5 a month, and we have to respect that. I understand that we cannot thrive on funds provided by the higher up staff, nor will we survive on those few individuals who donate large sums of money at once to help complete the monthly goal (@Gunner412 @imbalanced @WickedZealot). I understand that we are also looking for ways to provide Subscribers more for their money, but extra immunity and command access (aside from !colorsmenu and such) is not the way to go. Everyone who has been promoted to SA or CA has been trusted to handle the responsibilities and tasks of their rank, and with that they are also awarded with their extra powers and immunity rightfully so.. If they deem fit for a promotion, then that occurs too. Just because someone has the means to scrape up $5 a month does not make them a better staff member or community member than those within their same rank. Granted, some people are cheap with their money or see the idea of donating to an online community as idiotic, but in a lot of cases (especially with the younger members), they are not able to afford $5 or do not have access to a PayPal account, credit card, or a debit card. I do agree that it would be alright if they were to not have access to chat tags, chat colors, special player models, and colored names, seeing as these do not give them any special privileges. This does not only grant those who subscribe permissions that outweigh those of their own rank, but it has also been a hassle to set up permissions-wise (particularly on the Garry's Mod servers). To my knowledge though, @Dirk managed to fix these issues. I will put a poll up and I encourage all to leave your input and vote on the poll if possible. Thanks for reading!

@Vinyl

I don't know if it's going to be an issue with the higher ups, but I'll allow you to use this recent photo of myself. @Matt I certainly like the way I look.
