I'd like one of those little gold stars...I've already donated money

[...of J.Temperance]

And had a letter back from Mr. Allen to confirm that I've donated money.

Still I haven't got one of those little gold stars yet :(

I'm going to throw my toys out soon and POSSIBLY even REFUSE to eat any food or drink any liquids...I might even end up just dropping out of ALL civilization and going to live for the rest of my life in the jungles of Outer Borneo.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

1. you need to send your username back...

[...of J.Temperance]

2. Send it back to where?

[cally]

3. Send an email to Skinner

It usually happens automatically but sometimes there is a glitch.

[...of J.Temperance]

4. I sent him a PM...yesterday and there's been no response :(

I put ALL my details in the PM...including my full name.

On Edit: I knew if there was going to be a glitch, then it'd happen to me. I suppose I'm resigned to the fact that I'm destined not to get a little gold star and that's the way it goes.

On Edit Part Deux: I've just checked I forgot to put my surname, I only put my first name. But I don't think I should bother sending another PM somehow.

5. Poor you! I'd be upset too! Having the gold star just FEELS right.

:hug:

[...of J.Temperance]

6. I'm

Actually thinking of leaving DU entirely now because of this situation. :cry:

[Radio_Lady]

7. Hey, skinner is a great guy -- I'm sure this is a glitch. Just email him

again next week if you don't get your star.

I know how you feel. At least, in kindergarden, you could wail about this -- and the teacher would give you a star and a hug...

We'll do that here, tonight!

This is your hug:

:hug:

(Sorry, but I don't know how to HTML the star into this message.)

[...of J.Temperance]

8. Heck

It is rather like being in kindergarden...in fact I THINK I've just had a flashback to a sandbox incident that involved silver glitter someplace :)

Thanks for the moral support from you and I Have A Dream :hug:

[I Have A Dream]

9. Oh please don't do that! It will all get sorted out. It may take a...

while because skinner gets so much mail, but I'm sure that it will all work out. Please don't give up. There's no place like DU! (If it doesn't appear soon, I'll do whatever I can to help get it straightened out. Please just PM me to let me know.)

[...of J.Temperance]

10. Alright

I'll see what happens and thanks for offering to help out, that's fab of you to offer :)

:hug:

[tallahasseedem]

12. Really?

Dont do that. Maybe instead of a PM you could email him.

[...of J.Temperance]

17. I've been having problems with my email for two days

Or else I would have emailed him :( So I thought a PM would suffice for this moment.

[tallahasseedem]

20. Sorry.

Dont leave! :hug:

[...of J.Temperance]

22. It's okay

Tomorrow I'm going to make a start on my film script about all of this, the script has the working title of:

"The Lost Star"

...it's OUT there, and it's LOST :cry:

On Edit: David and I are going to have the world premiere in Milan, and of course you're ALL invited to it :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

11. PM Skinner

He will straighten it out.

[...of J.Temperance]

14. I've already done that yesterday...see above post n/t

[flowomo]

13. well, ok. here's the secret.....

there is no Skinner. But the pizza we bought with your money was delish.

[...of J.Temperance]

16. I'm thinking of getting in touch with Newsweek and the

National Enquirer to sell my story for at LEAST a six figure sum...then I'm going to go to Hollywood and try and sell my story to Paramount Pictures for them to make into a film...I'd rather like David Lynch to direct it and he can help me co-write my script too.

Yes, I've got a story to sell about all of this.

[graywarrior]

15. You have to send me candy

That will get you the star.

[...of J.Temperance]

19. I've got

A box of Milk Duds and some Hershey's Kisses...and I AIN'T giving up my candy for nothing...not even a gold star :)

We'll have to find some other bargaining stuff.

[graywarrior]

21. Well then, nakid pictures might do.

Of anything.

[...of J.Temperance]

23. You dirty boy you :)

OKAY but you have to swap YOUR naked pictures with me as well.

[flowomo]

18. oh what the heck.... here you go:

but take just one!

[...of J.Temperance]

24. Aw

:hug:

[Orangepeel]

25. you should email

Skinner is so busy that I don't think he gets to check his PMs every day.

from the donation page:

PLEASE READ: If you are a member of our popular discussion forum, we would like to place a small star next to your forum username to indicate that you are a DU donor. This process is not completely automated, and the star may not immediately appear next to your name after you donate. Typically, we will give you a star on the next business day after you donate. If you don't get a star within three business days, please send an email to [e-mail] to let us know. Remember to include your forum username. Donor stars last for one full year.

26. I lost my star

because I was a wee bit late with my donation. It'll be back...:) Sealed the envelope before I remembered to write that "I regret that I only have $xxx to send in to try to save my country." (sorry Nathan).

[...of J.Temperance]

30. Aw :(

Another lost star. You should email or PM Mr. Allen, you'll get it back mon amie.

:hug:

[newyawker99]

27. Did you try using the contact page?

The Admins are usually busy and it may
take a few days to hear from them.

:hi:

[BlueIris]

28. 'Kay, I just re-read the FAQs and I wanted to ask...feel stupid...

I thought you had to donate a minmum of $35 to get a star. Is that no longer true? It says there's no minimum donation. ?? Does anyone know? (A nice poster bought my star for me.)

[supernova]

29. There's never been a minimum

as far as I know. :shrug:

[madinmaryland]

31. Congrats on receiving your star!

Sometimes it takes a little time.

:hi:
