Beyond the loss of donations, it's now both
A) harder to find this thread
B) has an additional layer as the quoted poster pointed out: you have to be willing to bump a drama thread to ask for help
C) knowing that the admin-encourage swarm of shitheels still allowed to post here will make fun of you for it.

I still encourage people to donate (I do, and have for a long time) and to request money. I can only say "just ignore them, they're pieces of poo poo" and hope that's enough :shrug:

You can still PM plinkey or use the email in the OP (I believe) to ask for help! You don't have to post here if you don't want attention

90% of the posts are laughing about KM gifting herself a laptop from a similar slush fund. The other 10% are speculation about this one.

I like the PYF threads about gross looking food, tech relics, and pictures from decades past. I can just scroll through and look at pictures of weird poo poo and call it a day, and they're pretty chill threads.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

I'm still donating monthly. It's not much but it adds to the total. This fund has helped me out a few times and I expect it will again.

Just raised my monthly contribution.

I don't care if most of the money is spent on gamergirl bath water. At least some of the fund ends up with people a lot worse off than me.

Keep up the good work, Plinkey!
