In case you hadn't noticed, the thread is a month old. The crowdfunding thing is over even though if anyone still wants to donate, they know where to find me. I'd already give the money to a family, but we're also talking about throwing a charity concert and adding up the funds, seeing how not very much money was donated. All those who donated will see the money went where it was supposed to go.

If you have a problem with this, Lightnin, why comment at all here? Why not just, I don't know, let it go?
It's not like I just registered my account and opened the thread. I've been here for quite a while, albeit not as active as some..but still.
And FYI, only between 45-55% of the money given to the charities actually reach the people who need the money. I've done my research and that's why I decided to raise the money myself. Have you done yours?


I'm not saying that your cause is unworthy nor inefficient.

I'm simply stating my opinion that this appeal is an inappropriate use of this Forum.

You even apologized beforehand, so you too must think similarly.

I also outlined some of the pitfalls of allowing the Forum to be used in this way.

It's not MY Forum either... I don't make the rules. I choose to abide by them as a condition of my participation.

This is why I asked that the Moderators weigh-in to clarify to everyone whether this is permissible or not.

cheers!


I agree that the moderator should weigh in on this, as I have a cause or two I would love to collect for, but I do not think this is the right place for this type of thing

+1 Me too. But this really isn't the place to do it. Start a website and advertise on it. That's what I do. It's out of my pocket not Fender's. It has nothing to do with the holidays, or being a grouch, it has to do with the rules. I have a lot of worthy causes that I give not only money to but donate my photographic services to.

Thanks for the sensible two cents Bros. I couldn't think of how to say it without looking like a grouch. A private message would work and would not be a public display, if it is important.
