Besides the bookie, what else can I do with my vcash? Can I buy some of those little logos I see some of you have of your favorite teams?

Betting is the big thing right now... the other options are disabled due to security flaws. Clarity has been tracking a few projects, looking for a good alternative system. I also think many developers have been waiting for the new version of the forum software, which was recently released.

I "bought" a custom sig from jwinslow once... it was SWEET.

I'd go with the vbeer and vwomen were it not for the likely vbaby, vmarriage and vdivorce to follow...not to mention the possible vstd. :p

Everyone who has given at least $60 or $5/month should now have their "Shetuck's Spring Drive Challenge" vmoolah. Enjoy!

The offer is good through the end of the month, and we're taking cumulative amounts, so free free to join in. :)

So is Shetuck now eligible for Vfoodstamps after giving away so much vCash? :biggrin:

Okay... in all seriousness, there's still a HUGE amount of potential for giving left here - even just among the regular posters. Check out these numbers:

As of Saturday 72 members had donated a total of $5496.29. That's about $76 per...

The members list tells me that 408 users have visited the site today. I'm going to assume that most of those 72 donors are among those 408, so that would leave about 336 members that still need to step up. Even if they don't pitch in at $76 each, there's still a HUGE amount of untapped potential out there. Even if each of those 336 members chips in $35 (less than half of the $76 average contribution), that means that there's still almost...

$12,000

sitting around out there that needs to flow this way.

Going one step further, there are 775 members who have visited since yesterday. Take away the 408 of those who have visited today, and the 72 that have already contributed and that leaves 295. If those 295 each chip in $25, that means that there's almost another

$7500

sitting around out there not doing this community any good.

So we're sitting at about $5500 right now, but we're looking at a potential of almost

$20,000

that's sitting out there that needs to be finding its way, sooner than later, to BP.

Look, the numbers don't really matter. Don't worry what the overall numbers are or that there's a HUGE chunk of untapped potential out there. Don't worry about the Maurice Claretts and Robert Smiths and Sam Maldonados of the world... What matters is that in order to have a strong community and a strong sense of ownership in that community, we all need to do our part and at least pull our own weight by participating in the fund drive.

What's important is that everybody contribute something. If you've been on this site in the last 48 hours and you haven't made a donation, then you need to step up and do your part. Are you gonna be a Gonzo or are you gonna be a bust?

Just sayin'... :biggrin:

Can I get a witness?

I'm happy to report that I just heard from a BPer who wants to help with the Spring Drive. While he has already made a generous donation, he would like to encourage participation in the monthly donation program. If we can get one $10 or two $5 monthly donors by the end of the day Thursday, he will set up a second, matching donation up to $10/month.

Shetuck's Spring Drive Challenge is still in effect (v500,000 for donations of $60 or $5/month), so by becoming a monthly donor now, you get the Challenge award of v500,000, the monthly donor incentive bonus of v100,000, the vcash based on the amount of the donation, and the knowledge that BP will receive twice the amount you pledged with the match by our anonymous friend.

So, who's in? :wink:
