I think thats why we're seeing more RAKs than regular posts-no pressure. You can just give.

I think there is a bit of fear

it's kinda like putting up a poll of yourself when you post an offer

hmmm-how can we get past this?

 

If the forum self-proclaimed ubermensch joined in, then this thread could be epic.

 

But that would mean giving stuff away for free.

 

It's apparently a lot easier to be superior and moan a lot about everyone else rather than support Justin and co.

 

Ironically, it's the ones who can afford the most who give so little.

 

Of course, if that happened, this would be the "Charge by the hour Tree"

 

What's the current offer, and how long to go - maybe someone will step up?

Interesting take. My buddy did catering and he said millionaires were the worst. They'd tip like $10 for a full day of catering 200 people. Cheap as hell. The biggest tippers were like lower middle income or waitresses.

Wow - is this directed at anyone in particular? Some people just do not feel like being involved with this thread and calling them out is not going to make them want to more. Lets just keep to the offers on the table and try to be a nicer, friendlier thread. All offers are great!

I think you are way off base with this comment. When a charity cause gets raised, there are some very generous boardies here.

 

You have to look at the people involved in TGT. There are about 10-15 people passing the gifts around.

Well for not wanting to be involved they sure have a lot of comments to make about how horribly bad this thread is.

Wow I can't believe this is still here. Is everyone afraid to take an offer now ?

 

No. I'm sure certain offers will get snatched up in a minute.

I think that's certainly part of it...although that would explain, for example, you doing ONE sketch... Not a dozen. I just think people enjoy keeping the idea of things going. And some people like yourself are just darned generous!

 

For me, I've been looking for something fun or cool to offer up for free and was happy to do it... And I'll keep looking for more.

 

If I do see an real offer I really like I'm sure I'll think about taking it and seeing if I can put together something here that someone would really like. Obviously, as with everyone else who enjoys hanging around this thread, I'm fearful of not being able to bring a good enough offer to the table... But like I tell my son...you can't get a hit if you don't get up to the plate! (Works well with the whole "strike" system here...lol)

Yes there certainly are.

And I think that's great.

I also think you have missed the point by a mile.

 

There is no hidden message, and it certainly has nothing to do with any participants in this thread, or indeed, any charity thread.

 

Most people understood what I said.

 

And it's not important.

 

What is , is keeping this thread moving!

 

Lets go people!

Wow. I've seen some generalizations in my time, but, Wow.
