Thread Name: How can we Help Max? (Moderated)
Subject: RE: How can we Help Max? (Moderated)
Pretty much my feelings, Maggie. It is my feeling that we are over thinking a bit. This is why I made the comment that what we are doing isn't really related to what Max may or may not do to make a profit. We can get all fancy and fail but look good doing it, or we can just follow the principles of KISS (shut up, Spaw, I am not talking about the band) and come up with a good, friendly way to raise funds on a regular basis to keep a site going that we have come to care greatly for. If Max wants to move the ads up top, fine. If he wants to sell advert's, fine, that is up to him. The idea of incorporating, while it may have merit, is beyond what we should do, or even have the power to do. I say this with great respect, and am willing to discuss it further. Please accept these comments as just my opinion, and offered with respect for the discussion.
It seems to me that the elements are accountability for the goals, accountability for how the funds are used, courtesy of an acknowledgement for the donation, and every cycle of fundraising begins with a recounting of how the last cycle went, and were we are now.
Just my opinions, and I am thinking on the fly here. Must get to a softball game with a little girl.
