Should I Spend The Cash?
<div class="IPBDescription">to get DXO a new monitor?</div> <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showuser=12894' target='_blank'>DXO</a> is my close friend, we became moderators together, clanned together, played other games together, and have been doing so ever since we became moderators...
now, he can't play NS because his monitor is shot to heck. he is unable to get a job where he lives, but *I* have a job, and am having problems trying to spend the money (i'm not going to spend the money i have set aside for my T2K stuff -see signature- until the fundraiser is over).
now, would you drop ~$120 for a friend across the country, that you've never met, that you find to be your best friend (even more than your real life best friends?)
please vote, and explain why you voted the way you did.

Although, I do find it a little surprising you consider somebody you've never met in person before as your best friend... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<i>edit: $75? 19"? My 17" monitor was nearly $375!</i>
If he buys a monitor locally it'll cost him 30 or 40 bucks to ship it.
75+40 = 115
Why ?
because i know what you mean by saying: <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->a friend across the country, that you've never met, that you find to be your best friend (even more than your real life best friends?)<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Anyway, I say yes, If I had a friend in need, and I could help them, I definatly would.
Simply because I once did a big something for a supposed "cool internet buddy" who i had known for awhile.
And he well, promptly screwed me over... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
but hey, thats just my personal expirience.
I'd do it. But at least half of good friends I know online and talk to daily, I've known for more than 4 years. Infact, I've known Paranoia-2MB from here somewhere between 7 and 9.
If you consider DXO a close friend, you have extra money laying around, DXO is having financial issues, and DXO isn't expecting this of you, then yes - I think you should do it.
If any of the above assumptions are not true - you should NOT buy a monitor for him.

You don't find many people like that. Doesn't matter
if you know them through the Interwebby or in real-life.
They're still few and far between.
PS - <3 DXO
(I voted yes btw)

If selling him it do it cheap as u can and just ask him to pay the money back when ever he has it spare even if it takes 10 years dont matter.
Of course I did actually vote yes but I don't know him. Still I'd be willing to put in ?5 as its a good cause.
I voted yes as best friends are important and money isn't, especially if its lying around doing nothing. Gave my mate ?75 ages ago and refuse to let her pay me back, she's too important to start claiming pounds of flesh. Loaning is for losers.
