    I think pulling in $52k+ is pretty damn amazing, I know a few added sigs and the like but it was never a major plead/campaign, not like donate or we go down, so for such a passive request I think it did very well.

    That approach would have been kinda' coercive, and most people don't respond well to being coerced, IMO.

    Indeed, hence my point! $52k by kinda saying, hey I could pay for it but it's a bunch of cash so if you chip in seeing as its for everyone that'll be fine and if we are short I'll stand good for the rest...well that is an impressive chip in. (and an impressive stand good for)

    Yep, it's good stuff.

    Judging by the strong growth of the forums here, I wouldn't be surprised if Shawn's goal is reached by X-mas time.

    As always, IMO.

    I'm hoping you'll be adding more content to the donor page; be good to keep a nice balance between the content and the links ;)
