So uh, there's maybe a clear winner here. We are thinking of what to offer for 2nd and 3rd prizes unless Jeff drops a bitcoin on a specific thread and makes 1st prize a competition again. I'll update the thread soon with what we come up with.

:wrong: The liters of vaccine in our veins provide superior 5G reception which allows us to work multiple WfH jobs wherever we are.

Because of issues with PayPal and its link to the fund's bank account, I've been giving people $ from my personal account with the agreement we'd reimburse it. But because of a settlement I got from Verizon, I have some extra cash. So!

I hereby donate $501 to the Goon Fund via canceling that much that the Fund owes me. Supreme Court OUTRAGED at the debt jubilee I have done unilaterally.

I am donating this on behalf of the "organize your workplace" thread aka the union thread.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.
It's not much, but it's what I was giving to the previous fund's Patreon and I'll be giving this every month via Venmo to save on fees for y'all.

I know there's no chance it'll win but give my points to the Space & Spaceflight thread in SAL

Short of a miracle from any other thread, it's safe to say that Covid is back and spreading like wildfire across CSPAM. We've had a mild case of aid come from the covid thread over the last week and it's been wonderful for us to be able to fully fill requests and even finally catch up our backlog from the interim. I haven't counted out exactly how much we got from the COVID thread yet and I don't plan to unless another thread breaks $2K since I like the 9999 joke.


For 2nd and 3rd prizes, we want to offer those threads the opportunity to request our artist, Kiwi Tiler, to create smilies for those threads. We had another plan in mind, but we need some admin support and they have been busy taking care of the imgur issue. This way, people can still contribute as the races for 2nd and 3rd place are WIDE open, even if first is uh, a foregone conclusion.

As well, for our final week of fundraising, I wanted to provide a fun extra way for people to contribute to their thread without having to put funds in. KCW forgave his debt, and I'd like to do the same for $300. I will give 200 points to the person who makes the most NEW threads in CSPAM that get at least 20 replies. I will give 100 points to the runner up. Let me know you plan to enter and what thread you are pledging for.

Guess no one was interested in the contest. Either way, only one more day left for some crazy person to drop like 3K to make the covid thread nervous. Please remember 2nd and 3rd place threads do get to have a custom smiley made for them. Which is currently

That's right, ties cancel! The logjam at 3rd and 6th means Seattle LAN thread somehow goes to third. One last day if you want to change this!

It is not really a shock at this point but the covid thread easily takes first place. I'll try and remember to count up the exact amount of points earned but for now it's still firmly in the metric shitton territory. Covid thread so thoroughly dominated this fundraiser that they even put money down to influence second place - turning the Seattle thread from a third place by technicality to a clear second place.

As such, the prizes go to the following threads

COVID THREAD - A commissioned art piece designating them as #1 thread in CSPAM.

SEATTLE LAN THREAD - Their choice of a custom smiley/emote

ORGANIZING THREAD - Their choice of a custom smiley/emote

The committee is very very thankful to all who have participated no matter how big (shiroc) or small your contribution to the fund was. I hope everyone had fun and got to feel good about helping your fellow goons with food and medicine money. If anyone has any ideas for future fundraisers, let one of us know or feel free to brainstorm ITT until I close the thread sometime this week.
