If you wanna keep TFP online, send money. If you don't care, don't send money. Vote with your wallet. |
My donation is important, as far as I'm concerned. I'm poor. I can't afford to send as much as I'd like, and sometimes none at all, but I like to know my money is being used (which I'm sure it is) and used effectively. I guess one of the things I was getting at is that I would like to see more transparency with the donation process--meaning more accountability about where my donation goes. If it goes to buying Hal Mountain Dew so he can stay up all night and fix something when TFP goes haywire, that's fine. But I would like to know a little bit about how our money is spent (perhaps just the big picture, not the little tiny Mountain Dew oriented picture) because to me, sending money to the TFP IS an investment--an investment in keeping this place around.
