Ad-Free Viewing for Charity

[bigballofyarn]

A very generous person, who wishes to remain anonymous has purchased ad-free viewing for the entire forum on Thursday. This person has offered to continually purchase ad-free viewing in exchange for us helping out a charity each month. What's even more generous is that the forum as a whole can nominate and vote on this charity the same way we nominate and vote for member/board of the month.

There will be a link on the main page of the forum, and possibly a changing banner inside of our "forum friends" post linking to the chosen charity. You will not be forced to donate, but will be encouraged to help if you are able to, especially since every month you will have the opportunity to help out the cause of your choice. You are not under any obligation to contribute and should not feel forced to do so. This will just be an opportunity to help others in need.

All charities must be in full compliance with Section 501(c)3 of the internal revenue code.

Please post your thoughts or feedback, and please respect the privacy of this individual.

That's brilliant. Ad-Free for us, and money for charity!

[Alexander]

That's a very nice offer.

Great idea if this takes off.

I think all people should be able to nominate a charity of their choice and then they can donate what they can afford.

^I agree with it ppl better vote even if they can not donate

[yellowbanana]

Yes, then people who can donate will have a good cause to support.

Ad Free is great to have. No spam under the quick reply, no ads anywhere. Very nice person.

[Blexrude]

It's a great idea, but I'd feel badly if I couldnt afford to help out.

[Hugo]

If I had the money, I'd love to help out more.

[Nesco87]

As the OP says, you dont have to feel obligated. Just show support when you can.

[zachansonlover]

Great idea.
Hope the 50k lasts the whole month.
Very generous offer.
