Who gets the donations?

[kennedy]

So, when we donate, who exactly is getting the money? And what are they doing with it? I mean, running this forum is free.

This forum as far as i know is not free to run. You have to pay for web hosting monthly, then there was the initial investment of the domain, and not the mention the time the admin spends maintaining/updating/backing up the forum.

The money goes to the board. I dont profit monetarily from the board, nor do I want to.

The board is being redesigned and Im planning on switching it over to commercial software. I put up the donation button to help pay for that. If there are problems converting the board over, then I plan on giving everyone's donations back. All the money is still sitting in a Paypal account for now.

Dont worry, Im not going abscond to Barbados with the 130 bucks.

And there's my laugh out loud moment of the day!

Briv, any rough estimate on when the switch could happen?

Don't worry, I wasn't accusing you of squandering money to secretly fund a NIMBY uprising. Just wondering what you guys do with it. I'd donate, but you see, I don't have a credit card...

Very soon -- my next free weekend. Give me a couple weeks.
