i dont think my help would be appreciated if historical precedent is anything to go by but the goon fund would benefit a lot from the creation of a simple webform for donations (im kind of boggled they just have stripe links in the op once you scroll for 800 years) and doing a charity drive to advertise its existence/get funds.

So to explain the links in like the middle of the OP. When we first set it up back in March, the biggest concern I had was making sure the fund was seen as wanting to give help and not just looking for funds. I wanted people to read about what we do so as to make people feel encouraged that we aren't just scamming people, which took a bit to convince GBS of that even after operating for 3 months.

We also do really need some artwork. Nice handy little icons that we can connect to a link that would catch people's eye would help.

Speng (fellow committee member) has offered to do a webform now, and also did so in the past, to help with stripe UI but it likely got forgotten about as nobody complained about stripe as an interface until this past weekend.

As for the charity drive, we actually did do one in April - which the covid thread easily won. It was CSPAM centric (though people did donate on behalf of other threads like the IZWF for instance). I've wanted to do a more forumwide one with a great idea someone sent me, but it needs admin buyin first... also artists lol

the sagas thread vote dips into 3 territory, the latest front in forums wars... a blow is struck for leftists everywhere...

related, i'm vaguely suspicious that something in the implementation of SAD changed how thread votes work across the forums, given that the pyf seal thread is gold with only like 9 votes and previously i think you needed like 25 or 50 for the vote to even show up on the forum index. i may well be wrong

Vote thresholds are set on a per-forum basis. It used to be 1 in FYAD, but I just checked and that's no longer the case.

I'm pretty sure 5 is the threshold for smaller subforums? IME it's 5.

Bad shoot imo

Maybe there some backend stuff the admins know that makes them predisposed to it but he's literally replying to a goonfund person asking him directly.

For the record, he wasn't responding to a board member of the goonfund asking him to help, he was responding to a random person asking if there was a way to get Plinkey's past donors to switch over.
