 Admin edit 2: This is now defunct and those who gave in December should expect to receive an email about a refund. [Admin edit: this fund operates independently of Something Awful and is not endorsed by anyone associated with Something Awful. Beware of scams, trust your judgement, and use/donate at your own risk] Here's the deal, there's a lot of our cspam fellow posters that sometimes can't make ends meet and they end up needing maybe $30 or $40 to get through the week/end of month to buy some food, or some paper to whipe their rear end. Well, we had a pretty great system going until it burned down into a pile of embers, but rising from that fire is this thread...the goon fund paetron. I know, you're all thinking who the gently caress is Plinkey, and what are they going to do with my $5 a month donation? Well, you'll never know, that's the thing, because I'm not going to call out goons that are hard up and need an extra $50 to not get kicked out of their apartment. I will post no tesitimonials, or PM quotes, if you want to endorse this thing or not, it's up to you. Plinkey posted:OK, new rule. quote:when you send a request either you paypal.me (prefered) or your venmo address

Elephanthead posted:bert could never imagine helping someone and getting nothing back in return. Never made a point on the craps. yeah, it's basically that, he couldn't comprehend that i could go to the casino with my own money and help goons with donated money, and keep them separated. he has a short circuit in his brain that is like 'money is mine now' or something.

We just hit IDK 400ish a month, whoe's counting Anyways, even though that sounds like a big number, it turns out that there's more goons that need like literally an extra 20 bucks to buy a turkey at 99c a pound this last week, to give their kids a thanksgiving, or not go homeless, whatever, so right now the fund is negative, not enough to matter, in the grand scheme of things. But lets make sure that never happens again.

Pewdiepie posted:And yes I do think that $14.5 thousand dollars is a lot to spend annually on food. How exactly is this accounted for and how do you prove a goon is really in need? you dont, i delete the sad stories that people tell me, which are sometimes loving heart breaking, like a goon not able to feed his loving fish for 2 weeks, above himeself, becuse he doesn't want them to die, or another goon that was about to get a thrown out of their apartment if the didnt have an extra 100 bucks, it's self correcting, people contact me at the dregs of their life for a couple bucks, most pay outs are 50-100 literally to eat, 10-15 of them a month easly equals 1200 bucks, so... gently caress off

one of the main premises of the goon fund is that you dont have to give me a story, i dont want to know what you're going through, but most people do. So I glaze over it and just ask for a paypal of venmo, and get the money where it needs to be. I feel for you but I don't want to know or have your personal poo poo in my pms.

So, the goon fund is running abnormally low at this point in the month over the developments of the last few days, lots of people getting displaced from work, or caring or elderly relatives and scared to join a line at the food bank if they might get sick and give their relative cornoa, and not having anywhere to really go until unemployment kicks in, I think there have been something like 6-8 requests from friday through today and from the begining of the month that adds up to about $1000 from the fund total so far this month, so it's down to idk, like 200 bucks for the rest of the month becase the march 1 payout was around 1200 and some change. I know that a lot of you already give, but we're down to only being able to help about 4 more people over the next 2 weeks and poo poo seems like it's going to get worse. Joining the patreon would be great, even if it's just for a few months then cancel, I dont care and neither will anyone else, or if you want to donate directly PM or email me (plinkey@stanknuts.com) Sorry to sound like I'm begging again, but the last few days have been rough as poo poo aint gunna get better. I'm fotunate enough to be able to work from home and survive this, but there are a lot of CSPAM goons and goons in general that can't.
