[QUOTE=Ithon;46870212]I thought there was a patreon map made, shouldn't there had been one from the data filtering only for overlap as such?[/QUOTE] Not only a Patreon map, and it became insanely convoluted. If you want to make a new one you can download Maltego CE and I'll give you the Patreon entities. One "Good" seems to equal 10 dollar cents btw. (Filtering is more or less impossible in Maltego, one of the many "smaller" drawbacks that make it annoying to work with.) I'd like to eventually make a scraper for this kind of thing, but it involves complex GUI programming that I'm not good at.

why are we the one called gaters or gators when the one blocking dialog and behind the gate that been named gamergate are not?

i do not mind being called a gator i live in north florida, home of the [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3CWLSJuKZk"]florida gators[/URL]. a gator is a honorable term here. The florida gators have more women sports teams than male teams too. go gators

Honestly I'd rather be a gator than a snake.

Well if we are gators, this video is perfectly relevant now: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-meqTM6arI[/media]

Is there anyway to help him keep it up? Also my wife wants to see me get taken anally by our K9. Is there any real difference between anal and vaginal K9 intercourse?[/sp][/quote]

Would this being against patreon's ToS?

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46871699]Might seem impressive but I bent some of it just goes in circles.[/QUOTE] i can see why patreon doesn't want to do anything to their sacred cows, they take 5% of everything pladged, they're making atleast $650 a month off of Wu alone. does anyone have a list of patreons? i want to figure out how much patreon is pulling in from it

They removed some of their highest earning patreons with the recent TOS change.

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;46872201]good, i hadn't heard much beyond the revisions happening and hotwheel's troubles with it, glad to see that they seem to be fully enforcing their ToS instead of selectively[/QUOTE] Still very poorly written and very selective "guidelines." Specifically they were created because of these complaints in the past; but the hotwheels things is what pushed them over the edge. The fact they still removed it after it was about Cat Videos makes it an issue - anything involved with any type of "porn" can now be considered removable. They really need to fix their guidelines to be extremely specific instead of these vague rules which can be under their administrations discretion to what's deemed "appropriate." Any idiot with a semi-large following can get something removed for exaggerated notions on a patreon. It's a very unsafe site to use, if you want a stable income - against what they claim. They won't ever fix it, but sites seem to be using this "More vague, less specifics" guidelines thing, even Reddit does it. There needs to be more specific guidelines and rules.

There are not that many outlets for such a thing, and I almost expect some "Porntreon" to become a thing. Also, what the hell is pornographic about Cat videos, anyways? Im not talking about gross beastiality stuff here, I mean videos of keyboard cat and the like.

Like what the crap does that have to with anything about Gamergate?[/QUOTE] Good thing I have the privileged white dudes at the verge to remind me that the push for ethics that I support is really a hate movement dedicated to eradicating women from the face of the earth, and that I am in fact a white male underneath this tan skin. Thanks, Verge!

Good on them attacking a non-existent group that shares the name of a scandal I'm just a gamer :^)

I expect the "GAMERGATE IS DEAD" articles in a few hours, or at the very least "INTEL OPPOSES GAMERGATE" I just wish they funded everything but IDGA and FF, they don't need help and do nothing to help others but "raise awareness" and use the rest of the cash to fund themselves. Also yeah, it is relevant to gamergate because we all know why they are doing this - they want to prove they aren't mysgonists after being given bad press by journalists. At least do it without donating to the shittiest place you could have donated in.

I suppose it's relevant to Gamergate if you're talking about the idiots giving them backlash after them pulling advertising, yes. It doesn't necessarily mean they oppose Gamergate.

I mean, I said before that you couldn't rely on Intel to stick to it forever. They did it for about a month, then went right back. Anyone who knows how these companies work could have seen that coming a mile away.
