[June] Auction: Xerotic Bot DNA Award


[June]
Auction
for
Xerotic Bot DNA Award

[Image: xdnabot.png]

Hello everybody. My name is Xerotic and I recently became an Administrator here at Hack Forums. I will be (and have been already!) creating plugins, adding features to the site, and improving site functionality where needed. While I am in this position I will be dedicating my time towards HF full time. In order for this to be possible, however, I must be able to earn money to pay my bills. As part of a plan to allow me to dedicate the time I will be (and have been) dedicating to HF, Omniscient has allowed me to grant the Xerotic Bot DNA award once per month with the understanding that it will be sold or auctioned each month (or granted for free/not granted at all). This will allow me to afford my rent/bills so that I can continue to pump out code and bring some amazing features to HF. Features that have been talked about for years are going to be coming to HF swiftly, but only as long as I am able to afford to dedicate all of my time towards the site.

Award
The Xerotic Bot DNA award is very rare. It has only been granted twice! The award will only be granted once per month and it will either be sold, auctioned, or given away. It is designed to support me so that I can support Hack Forums.

I would like to thank Novica for creating the award image.

Thanks everybody for the support. As everyone who has been active knows, it has been a very busy month on HF and that pace will not be slowing down. Support me so that I can continue to help HF grow.  👍

Thanks!

Pretty interesting award and definitely looks sick!

My only question is, why would someone buy this over let us say the GA? Since the GA award typically gives the user an extra award or two.

This award directly supports Xerotic & all the work he pours into HF, especially these last few months. 🤝
If this is still going on in a year, I'll most likely buy it in a few months when I've got the funds and just use the buy it now option. Thank you for your services here Xerotic, I remember you from the old days as Staff and then you stepped down for some time. It's glad to see you back in action.

Because the money from this award directly goes to me instead of Omniscient. HF is my full time work and I am not able to do it without the income from this award. If I am not working for HF... all of the recent (and future) changes wouldn't be happening. Even if members don't see a visible code update every day I am still working every day, whether it is back-end work and improving/optimizing existing code.

tl;dr: The purpose of this award is to keep me working for HF, which I would love to do.

I understand now, it was just out of curiosity. I appreciate your work on HF and you definitely deserve this income. I wish you the best of luck in sales.
Mhmmm, Might be buying this shit out right! ;) <3
Hopefully this will hit the buy it now price as you defiantly deserve it for all the work you’ve been putting in recently since I’ve seen the most changes in 3 months then any other 3 month period defiantly think it was a good idea for Omniscient to bring you on best of luck with sales bro.

Agreed. This site has come a super long way just since Xerotic has been Admin. It's amazing to see all the great change, I'm glad that Omni has him around.
You should consider a 50 dollar raffle to get the award. Only 20 members would have to enter to get the buy it now price. I think you'd be able to get more money out of it!
Just give it to views he’s gonna buy it anyway

Someone suggested that before and I actually really really really like the idea but it conflicts with this rule:

Gambling
We don't allow the site to be used for gambling which entails on-site lotteries, pools, or drawings. Discussion of gambling itself is allowed.

Wish I could buy-in but I can't unfortunately. Would definitely if I had the money though. It's a cool award and I hope to win it some day in a contest maybe.
Best of luck selling mate.

Damn.That would be awesome tbh, $20 to entry you’d probably be making triple of BIN.Have you spoke to Omni about it?
