Yeah, what do we need that kind of money for? I might not be able to do much if anything, but I need to know what it's for before anything comes from me.

At the risk of incurring further wrath, I believe I will stick out my neck with the observation that I don't think ANYONE is gonna fork over ANYTHING without an itemized listing of what the cash is for.

DETAILS. EXPLANATIONS. BRAND NAMES. WHATEVER. Just so long as it DOES NOT entail the word "stuff," or "things" or a vague "updates" or any other synonym thereof....

I don't think it's dumb at all not to want to just randomly send money for "stuff." In fact, I don't care if it's 10 or 100 dollars a piece, I'm just not going to send it unless I know what it is for. I'm a college student and I like to know precisely what my money is going for, no matter how small the amount. I mean, you wouldn't contribute one cent to a fundraiser for Al Queda, would you?

I know, the example is way out there and I don't mean that I think whomever I'll be sending the money to is some looney toon.

Still, I don't think it's highly unreasonable to ask what my money will be going towards, other than "stuff" and "upgrades".

I'm rambling. I'm shutting up now.

Ok, you got me, I'm gonna hire a hooker.

Give me a break people, it's for the boards. I don't ask for money and not use it for a good purpose, I feel guilty. Some of the money will go for UBB upgrades, and some for other stuff for the site, UBB is the most costly though, so that's what the majority of it is for.

Do you understand that? Or do you want me to draw it for you?
