If I ever got crazy rich, I'd pay to have a mansion built, and tell the architects to put in secret rooms that would have varying levels of difficulty to find/get into, and then I would spend the rest of my life trying to get them all.

lol that is why i wanna relax before i go crazy spending money on a shopping spree..Will probably buy property in nyc with 80% of the money and use the rest for education and living
 
If I become crazy rich, I'd hire Justin Bieber to hold up a sign saying "Suck it OT-GAF" while getting a blowjob from hot supermodels.

Then post it in a thread and ask Evilore to pin it.

This way I could forgo my foreign legion pursuit from which I'll surely never return.
Perhaps this would allow me to further my pursuits of working in a factory at a happy wage until my dying days like my grandfather before me, respected by all as a hard working person of the Polish descent.
My other prospect: I could create a chain of bbq and ice cream restaurants hiring naught but unprivileged youth from the slummage like myself and ex cons at a wage of at least 10.00 an hour to start. Should I start to run out of workers years down the line as society improves I'll hire only members of the aryan race like surprise. Bury me in a volcano like terminator 2 from a helo drop, live feed Fox News.
 
I play that lottery most Wednesdays and Fridays. I hate being poor. Nothing is worse than having a job yet still be hungry >=<.

If you win the lottery tc, you better live the fucking life. I would first get the finest most expensive escort I can find in he whole country and pay for a full night.

I'd retire immediately (easy since I'm out of work right now), and cruise the world. After giving a mill to GAF and taking care of family.
 
See, I am weird. I've been poor my whole life, often went hungry, etc, but if I win the lottery, I wouldn't over spend. I would still look at stuff like 'do I really need this?' I'd buy a house (nothing huge, no pool, pools suck to maintain, maaaybe with a play room for the kids cause that's cool), replace my broken van, pay off the debt of me and my family, and make sure my kids got a good education. Maybe a new computer since mine is failing.

Edit: And I'd take a trip to see my family. I miss my family, damn it.

If I won the lottery, I'd do the same. I guess donate a bunch to Lore as a business would work.

Giving every member 100 bucks would take 10 Million, so that would deplete any lottery winnings to do it that way. Maybe 10 bucks a person would be nice, everyone can use an extra 10 bucks.
 
Instead of giving it to Gaf....

We should take that money, and invest it into children without certain opportunities. We could sponsor some children, and make points offa their success in the future. :D

Its like a retirement plan.

We could teach inner city kids;

1. Computers.
2. Web Development.
3. Maths
4. Visual Effects
5. Game development.

etc.

NEOGAF's kids!

it would put a dent in some childs life.

amiright?

Are you a NeoGAF achiever?

Every member of Gaf can meet up at a McDonald's and we can spend the million on cheap french fries, spread them over every table in the restaurant.

Evilore makes a tremendous amount of money yet I still get all these gotdamn 503 errors every day. It's ridiculous. Use the money to convince Evilore to right this ship.
 
If I ever get a good job, I was going to host a GAF party at some lodge in a city most GAFfers live in (probably New York) and sponsor the whole thing. Maybe hold a fundraiser for even more kick ass servers and cool contests like what we used to have.

Gromph is still investigating solutions for the remaining problems. My hands are tied. I've thrown money at server infrastructure to the point where IT gaffers have characterized me as insane. We have really, really robust hardware that I just had upgraded again a week ago. We're also being hit with DDoS attacks on a daily basis.

You have no idea what the financial situation is. Costs have increased tremendously over the last year while revenue has simultaneously declined sharply. It's always a matter of finding sustainable solutions.

NeoGAF is not operated by a big corporation, as most sites are when they're this size. The site's important and valuable, but as a strategic asset, not because of its revenue.

so how much do you want, money bags

Seriously, though, GAF gets DDoS attacks regularly? Since when? News to me but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I work for a firm that handles very high profile stuff, and we don't get DDoS in that volume. Neither do our clients.

You must have some serious haters, dude.

That sucks to hear :(.

I'm certainly not of the opinion that you should open your balance sheet to the public but the amount of misinformation about gaf's incomings and outgoings means that people aren't even aware of the above.

You need a server like this... but.. with PS4! Put those 8GB of GDDR to work!

OP, instead of giving 1 million to GAF members in cash, it would be awesome if you set up a thread where you bought every person 1 game of their choosing. That would be a lot more memorable and fun IMO.

It's good that you say things like this, because on my uninformed side, I get a lot of errors and wonder "What the hell, GAF?" It would be cool if you had a little blog series talking about what's going on with GAF behind the scenes. I know I'd read it.

I'm not sure...I mean, I'm a white male living in the U.S. There are no downsides to that. However, I have some physical problems that make having a normal social life just about impossible. So, I don't know what I'd to to be honest.

Probably a lot of jealous persons trying to start a successful forum... or banned users.
