FOMO :(


Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

It is doubtful totjo will ever have charity drives and whatnot... We've already had to remove posts that were asking for money/support for a cause/charity. For the simple reason we can't allow everything, and reviewing every case is difficult, especially if we try to avoid double standards...

Don't forget that a charity is not necessarily "charitable". I mean, Ikea's a charity... Many charities waste a lot of money. You have to be careful how efficient they are.
Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

^I don't think you quite understand my point. If you just have an event where people from TOTJO give to charities, it could be a way to give back to charities while letting people do what they want with their money.

It hasn't happened in quite a long time that a member of the council has had to pay for the hosting because totjo doesn't have the money. We're fine and do not need to make sparkly buttons.

HOWEVER. Most of the money we are getting comes from a few large donations. I only speak for myself here, but I feel it would be best if more people made small regular donations. there is 30 of us logged in right now, if a third of those made a 5 USD donation a month we'd be fine....


It's not about NEED! Gosh Ren... It's about the sheer awesomeness of having a BIG SPARKLEY button! I mean, it could be bling-a-rific!!!! :P

I'd have gone with "blingtastic" personally. But really, can we make the Donate button sparkle like a poorly-written vampire?
