O.P. RE: Forum Charity
Haha no, I'm selling all of my Little Britain stuff on ebay to get the money for my hosting :cry:.

This is just something to do in the name of the forum really.

tbh, I don't trust World Vision, it's been accused of money laundering etc a bunch of times. I'd much rather donate something to help organizations such as Evergreen, WWF, Green Peace, Amnesty International or Red Cross.

P.S. Love the idea.

P.P.S. Leave trax alone.

RE: Forum Charity
Idea is good (although pruposed before). The only problem is who is going to admin the account, and what charities (different each year?) will the money go to. Not everybody will agree on these points...

Furthermore, you already can support a charity (Red Cross) in name of Messenger Plus! since years, all you need to do is order something from the Plus! store.

I don't see the point in doing this, tbh... :s

Giving the money to a charity means that it may get stolen or just used to pay their costs, the people you really want to help won't get anything.

If you really want to give money away, go to a local shelter and give it to the person you want to help. Or better yet, give them food, blankets, etc.

Hack, hack, hack!
