Though this will hit 2000 dollars soon, the actual money raised in a donatothon is secondary to just getting people to donate.

It is going to take a long time to see the true effect of this donatothon.

I'm well aware that the actual dollar amount is relatively meaningless, so long as Toady doesn't actually find himself in debt or something.  But I believe having concrete, quantifiable goalposts encourages effort.

Once the total clears $2000, then the next goal will be $2500 for an average month's total.  It just keeps going.

Most for his pseudo-racist jokes and generally treating the forum like an IRC chat, as well as an old problem of posting near-hentai pictures and lewd discussion, though that died out a while ago.  However-

There is no part of that post that endears me to you.  Keep it out of my thread, all of you.

I would myself if I wasn't temporarily locked out of my bank account.  Stupid Internet and so forth.

I know I already donated but the honor of bringing the total over the 2000 was just to great to resist.



12 dollar donated.

The only reason I don't like this idea is mostly because the negative of this idea is unfair.

To me, everyone put it to the 2000 mark.

In my country they have a saying:

"the last drop of water that makes the bucket overflow" (poorly translated)

We all donated and I wasn't implaying that my donation was somehow "better", I just said that I took the opportunity to be "the last drop"

Ohh no, I didn't think you were better.

I was musing for the most part and was reminded of my distaste of "You lost us the game".

Congratulations! I'd donate, but considering my extra money comes from babysitting, I'd like to figure out a better way to aquire some extra income first. xD

I'd draw for people who donate, but then again, you already have so many! I'd rather draw on comission and donate that.
