« on: December 17, 2012, 06:11:52 pm »

I say might, because it's 4chan of course.

I don't think It's necessarily a good thing that Bay12 be recieving Anonymous' attention. Or donations. Never accept "donations" from the mafia; they'll claim you owe them money, and charge interest.

That being said, I'd assume that if Happyface isn't the troll, then someone out there probably is toying with us. :P

Also, if Toady recieved a donation so sizable from any source, he might as well commission one of our many highly-talented engraversartists to paint up a reward for all the interwebs.

Okay, let me clear up some misconceptions about 4chan. "Anonymous" is an organization that is derived from 4chan, and many of its members like to go onto 4chan. However, it's usually /b/, the worst and most immature part of 4chan, which every other board hates with a passion. "Anonymous" is considered a bunch of stupid kids and attention whores. The thread where this originates is /v/, the video game board. Although the /v/ board is known for hating many video games, DF is not one of them. http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/PC The game is adored on 4chan, and the video game generals board, /vg/ as well. One of the reasons why is that Toady hasn't sold out, and is constantly making new content.
Granted, this could be a huge troll and then I'm sorry for wasting all of your time.

If it is real, we'll know soon. I don't think Toady would not notice suddenly getting two years worth of donations.

No. /v/ has standards, in any case Anons aren't attention whores, what with being Anons and all.
The only thing this could be a wind up for if it's for the lulz. Possible, but I for one am happy for /v/'s generosity.

Seems legit enough. Cheers guys!

In regards to 4chan, come on guys, you're a savvy enough forum to know what's Anon, what's not, what board does so e.t.c.

I am hoping for this.  What would it mean, though? Dev-wise?  Toady can only go SO fast. . .

It would mean surprise, probably confuse a whole bunch of people, and other things.
More simply, however:
It would mean Toady would get $50,000.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Toady can afford to clone himself and work at 200% efficiency.
