Welcome to Pokemon Adventures!

You are currently viewing the forum as a guest.

If you're thinking of joining, I feel the need to note that this is a discussion forum, and not some kind of online Pokemon game (as awesome as that would be). We get tons of members getting this confused, and we certainly wouldn't want to waste your time if this place isn't what you were looking for.

You might also find that the activity level is rather low around here. This is mostly due to lack of new members that stick around. I'm sure if we had a few more, all the many members would eventually come out of hiding. Why not sign up and stay for a while. Who knows? You may be surprised.

Apparently a friend of a RL friend is very sick, and requires multiple surgeries to live and function, surgeries which she can't afford. Megaupload has an incentive program, in which if a file is downloaded over 5 million times, they pay the sharer $10,000. This comes at virtually no cost to you except a few moments of your time (I've checked out the file and it is, indeed virus and malware-free, and is a .txt file so it literally takes seconds to download. The only downside is megadownload's dumb interface) and could very well save someone in need, please consider helping out. Thanks, guys.

This is the file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5QBOA940


Now, I'm not too sure if this is legal, but this is a human life. Why not help out?

Before you do anything, a couple of things:

(1) I make no guarantee as to the safety of the site. Indeed, I've found some info that has hinted to the fact that megaupload is used to host a lot of pornography. The page led to by that link seems reasonably ok right now, but I cannot make guarantees.

(2) It does sound like Megaupload is awarding a cash prize to someone who has had a file downloaded a certain number of times. Therefore, downloading the text file will eventually earn the person money if it is downloaded enough times. However, I have not actually investigated the file and cannot be sure that it's safe.....but, if it's just a text file, you should be OK.

(3) I cannot vouch for this story, and from the sound of it, Ninva does not know the person who will "win" the $10,000 in real life. It could all be a scam, set up for a greedy person to win cash for him/herself. But then again, it could be completely legit.

(4) Here's a link to a more detailed story: http://www.fpsbanana.com/threads/93175?1
It is difficult to believe that this person's story is true, especially since most hospitals will provide medical assistance to anyone, regardless of their ability to pay for it (at least as far as I know). However, if you wish to look into it, you may read that topic, but again, there are no guarantees.

Edited to restate that it could also be legit.

Lord, the sky's still blue,
For my hope is in You.
You're my joy,
You're the dream that's still alive.
Like the wind at my back,
And the sun on my face,
You are life,
You're grace,
You are blue skies.
