if Plinkey actually wanted to steal the Goon Fund, I'm sure he would do so in a way that doesn't send notifications to everyone to contributes. The whole thing has run and continues to run on the trust that he fairly disburses the money that comes his way, all the while sorting through so many requests he can't fulfill as well as trying to accurately judge actual scammers. Actual charity administrators get compensated for their labor, whereas Plinkey runs at a loss. Take your money out if you think he's abusing his responsibility, but you've constructed a real strawman there.

You don't run something like this on "trust". Transparency is key. I remember getting poo poo on months ago for daring to ask basic questions when they were thinking of making this an official charity. Every attempt at transparency is treated as bad faith trolling, and there is only one possible reason for that. At least some of the money is getting disbursed and they're not just keeping all of it, so that's an improvement on most things.
To be clear, even tho they are probably skimming off the top and borrowing from the account, its still a net good if goons are getting some money. But just lol at everyone getting pissy whenever concerns are brought up. Again there is a reason for the defensiveness. At yes I have contributed, and I've also given to goons directly via paypal. In any case, I plan on peacing out so don't wasted any responses on me. Just don't be surprised.

Thank you so much Plinkey and all who contribute to this fund. It has literally put some food on my table for this week, and payday is only a couple days away, so I'll make it. It means a lot.

I woke up like this
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, anyone who thinks they can do a better Goon Charity than Plinkey should absolutely do exactly that, good luck and godspeed. Bc Plinks is one person, trying to meet the needs of desperate and often scared/anxious/emotional goons with a set amount of incoming donations each month. AFAIK no one has been turned away either.

And like, I get that transparency is important but again this is ONE PERSON organizing a fund to help goons and distributing funds in a timely manner while also working/having responsibilities outside goon fund. There’s not a bunch of volunteers doing this who could make it more transparent than: goon sends request, makes post, Plinkey helps as soon as he can, goon lives another day.

Yeah I realize my bias here bc Plinkey has saved my life with meds and food more than once but idk it seems like a huge dick move to come in here swinging at someone doing emotional and (some) physical labor making sure goons don’t starve or end up on the street or die from inaccessible medication.

It seems like if you have legit questions about the fund you can just ask instead of immediately jumping to DEFINITELY SOME SORT OF SCAM.

Anyways I’m happy to see that you haven’t burnt out Plinks :unsmith: you’re doing the lord’s work.

Exactly. Plinkey is doing an amazing job with very limited resources. If anyone thinks it's a scam, they can just choose not contribute to the fund instead of throwing around unsubstantiated accusations. Or they can start their own fund. It's not a zero sum game.

Thank you for your efforts, Plinkey. I can't even imagine how taxing this whole thing is for you, and I just wanted you to know that there are goons (beyond the ones you directly help) that deeply appreciate this sort of commitment, as silent as we might be at times.

It was like, 10k for 'vintage' stuff. Just get a new one and wear it out yourself. I sent a PM, but I hope Plinkey is alright.

Edit to add: You can get vintage stuff out at old stores.
