Clarification Requested (Donations)

I like this idea. Is it possible for Blah or Styphon or Miles to implement it themselves instead of having to wait for our retarded leader to return?

Here's a better idea Miles. Keep the money until he requests it or needs it for another donation drive. Giving the man money when there is no urgent request for it is even stupider than giving it to him when there is.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What I could do is send him enough money to pay the bill each month and whatever is left (if there is any left) could be saved and used to fund future GFF projects (such as an additional license to run the GFF archive).

You are a stupid, stupid man sometimes. Before I would even think of giving the man one cent from the adsense, I'd make sure you have some kind of undeniable proof that he's spending that money on the running of the site. You want some sort of insurance? Send it directly to the webhosts. You'd be a fucking moron not to.

This plan was A+++++.

I am quoting this for truth. Nothing else needs to be said.

Then when that has been paid off, send the rest to bobo.

That's a hell of an idea, actually. Those people deserve to have their stolen money back.

And unlike what Stealth said, there just might be a way to get a list of donators. (At the very least, it would be a partial one.)

The donation drive was run by Paypal. The people who sent Bobo money would have Paypal receipts in their account transaction history. Provide proof that you donated money, and get some of it back. Provide the receipt and for how much, and the Adsense money could be wired to you.

This won't work for the people who donated via other methods, but I'd imagine most of the donating was via the Paypal method anyway. (And if it wasn't, shame on you if you didn't keep your transaction receipts.)

Regardless, I'm glad this is moving along. I think the priority is GFF first, and donors second. By all means, those who donated the money to get us back up should be repaid, but only if the amount of cash from advertising is more than sufficient to cover GFF's running costs. Make sure the cash flow is sufficient and stable enough before paying 'dividends'.

Bobo probably doesn't even know BM is pissed at him, and even if he did, he doesn't care enough to do anything about it. Besides, BM's a refreshing breath of fresh air after trying to decipher what Miles is saying between his mouthfuls of chocopenis.

And it should not be called dividends, it should called reparation payments.

Perhaps there is a way using Paypal to forward them? Or request a duplicate of an invoice/bill be forwarded to a different email that would act as further proof?
