Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Hey guys, do you like being alive?
So do a lot of people! In fact, so many people like being alive that we go to great lengths to keep them that way, and it's not always easy, simple, cheap, or clean. As it happens some people are very tricky to keep alive, and they may need several surgeries to get to a point where they can even consider leaving a hospital, in order to at least try to live a normal life that so many of us take for granted.
I am fast becoming one of those people, and at some point over the next couple of years I'm probably going to need to have surgery to give me a new kidney, it's kind of irritating me because there's a chance that I'm going to need to take blood out of the system and I can't put it back in myself, and that's where you all come in.
In short, I want you guys to donate blood, because I can't do it, and I have high hopes of you.

Of course giving blood, and the specific rules on it, vary from place to place, but in general you might find yourself unable to donate if you are:
Below a certain weight.
Considered a 'risky' donor due to sexual activity.
Regularly pierced or tattooed.
On certain medication.
Recovering from surgery.
Please, don't be put off by these rules, go and talk to the people at the clinic, find out for certain if you're able to give blood, and try not to be offended if you're not allowed. I understand that some of the rules are pretty contentious, and I'm not entirely happy with them either, but we still need to feed into the system and keep it going.
After all, you never know when you'll need surgery to save your life.

My HS art collection
so, like, maybe two forumers can donate
Does camp count?
also my friends and I used to go donate together when we were undergrads (and then go drinking), and one of them kept having needles break on his skin
we called him 'the rhino'
As long as you still go hunting with him, you're good
I really don't know, Tynic, when I tried looking it up in English I just got some website called ToyTownGermany, which seemed to be for English language speakers in Germany to chat or something, and the link they provided for donating blood was broken.
Just pop over to the UK to donate, ok?
Dang
I got so much blood who wants some

Always knew you were mad...
Man, I ain't no cow
They do have those here. They are often announced with flyers/ in local papers and of course on that website you linked. I guess I should go, It's been a while since I stopped doing drugs so I should be eligible now. I'm gonna check out where I could go.
No-one gets any though because my veins are too small really
My HS art collection
But speaking of which I haven't donated in forever so I should really address that
I can't tell you exactly why, but this fact makes me feel very boring.
I think I'm an o+ so hmm...
Gonna have to do that soon.
