Yeah, the problem being how people are more interested in talking about how they'd give a million bajillion squintillion dollars than doing anything productive to make that a remote possibility.
Two days have past, and ****-all has happened on the rather important steps of setting that up. Partly, I guess that's my fault as I didn't account for how bombed out I'd be after going to work yesterday, and didn't have time to try and fill out the forms. But honestly, I'm the only one who even took the trouble to try, and that right there spells out a pretty serious problem for getting the project off the floor.
If I had any say in the matter, I'd lock/delete any hypothetical discussion on the issue until people knuckle down and get to doing something tangible about it. Like, say, setting up that ****ing account so people can try and give all this money. People aren't gonna stay interested forever, you know, and Smart isn't gonna sit back and wait months for everyone to get their act together and start this thing up. It's all happening right now, and basically if the mechanism for donations isn't up by the end of this weekend you're never going to have a snowflake's chance in Hell of going anywhere, and all this drivel about donated funds will just be more spam. You're not 'proving' anything by claiming to be able to give away some absurd (or miniscule) sum. Talk is the cheapest thing on the Internet, and right now it's so cheap here it's a negative value.
