Pffffft ... that's what *I'M* saying. The community should be in an uproar right now that funds haven't been allocated in any way, shape or form to the "Help Bounty Pay His Mortgage and Keep His House" Fund!

(It's a really good cause.)

Not to be mean, but what dreamworld do you live in, man?

That's absolutely untrue. I work for a non-profit organization that receives more than 50% of its funding from donations, and we are under NO legal obligation to provide complete disclosure of our spending activities to our donors.

Edit: Oh, but as I did tell LogRoller in IRC, if I'd actually seen Colosus' solicitation post for funds for a server, I would agree that he should have posted notification of the new purchase, since those donated funds were earmarked for a specific purpose. (I've just been being a contrary ass in this thread for kicks.) ;)


no legal obligation, maybe...but most charitable organizations that accept donations for revenue generally have a well defined self-governance in place. Many charitable organizations are relgious in nature, and I know that all of the ones I have been privy'd to their workings, all have a rigid internal goverance system that keeps charitable givers giving. The purpose isn't really so much just that they are good people, if they blow the funds that are given to them (i.e. Colosuss) on things that were not orginally budget for and the giving parties find out about it, they greatly risk loosing said funding. I think TW will experience this the next time a "server" fundraiser comes up.

I think if we do need new servers or bandwidth or hosting or whatever, we should elect a group of people that will be fully disclosed by the admin staff.

If it is a purely hardware request, we should look into a sorta "gift registry" type thing where individual items, (memory, HD's, processor) etc are able to be individually paid for by specific members or a fund for the larger ticket items that no single person would be willing to donate. This sort of running tab of donations in a specific thread will allow full disclosure of the funds and bring a real contributatory bond to the community.

For anyone to be surprised at the retorts from Old_Skull and Cheater, they must not read the forum much.

If you wanna donate money, there is a raffle on the [H]. Sad story, but they've raised over 27k for the Smith family, and they're giving away a computer. I chipped in $20. Raffle will run thru the week.

I understand how threads get bigger than 20 pages. After that mark, no one actually reads the thread. They just comment and say "I'm not actually going to read this whole thing, but I'm going to say how I feel even though thirty seven people before me said it and I'm a fuckwad who can't be bothered with that fact."

I love the smell of revelation in the morning. It reminds me of Bounty and El Mar. Naked. Dancing in a pool of chocolate pudding.
