I am excited and looking forward to this next chapter of DVC!  I am available in whatever capacity needed.

Papa

Refund received!  Thank you.

Still no refund.

So very excellent to hear from you Hunter!  I am still around so count me in to help however I can be of service.  I am for moving forward with the proposal.

Papa

Bought as much as I could when it hit 4!

I have requested a refund a couple of times with no results.  Here is the pm I sent bobsag and thomas:

Trying to get my refund for the R17 groupbuy.

Papa

Any one know why no rating pages were generated for Round 42?  Any updates on new projects and direction of DVC/Devtome?  Thanks.

Papa

Refund requested.

Just some additional information about this topic.  It has been discussed a good amount on the Devcoin forum as well.  There are some pretty good ideas and suggestions over there.  If you get a chance, go give them a look.

4 Shares at $520 US.

I would be happy to, but I do not feel I have the technical skill set to judge other people's work in this area.  Maybe we should post this on Coinzen as well.

Papa

I support updating the website and I think that having a three person judging panel is an excellent idea for getting different perspectives.  It is my opinion that since DVC was founded with developers and OS in mind, it is imperative that the website be the most engaging, aesthetically pleasing site out there.  Unfortunately too many people out there unfairly equate OS with "second-rate" and this is a chance to debunk that myth.

Papa

I'm definitely with Nova on realizing a greater ad revenue by forking PG and R Devtome material.  I think this will go a very long way in Devtome becoming self-supporting and eventual a strong revenue stream for DVC.

Papa

As would I.

The other steps Hunterbunter touched upon definitely are steps in the right direction.

Papa

Nah, I bet he is a real douche!  lol  jk  Thanks for saying so.  I try to live my life and treat people the way I want my daughter to live and be treated by others.  To me, that seems to be the true power behind DVC and the people involved with it.  I think everyone I have met through DVC would be a pleasure to just hang out with.

I was excited to learn about winning the auction and I can feel big things to come with this site.  I think it will be a major asset and draw for DVC.  Thanks to everyone involved with DVC and for all they do.

Papa
