| Idea for Angelsboi - Attention: Morrus
Here's an idea...
Seeing as Morrus is flush with EN World cash (see his post)...
and seeing as it's Angelsboi's birthday and he's such a brilliant & brave guy...
why doesn't Morrus send Angelsboi $100 from EN World so that AB can buy himself some D&D goodies?

| LOL! Nice try  , Tom, but this would be a one off for Angelsboi.

| I'm nearly 100% certain that people donated money to keep the board running. It seems unfair imo to assume that they donated the money with the intent of having it just spent however Morrus (or anyone else) feels like, however well-intentioned. | |

| I wasn't kidding. I thought it was a good idea. I'm not saying that Tom and Numion aren't stirling fellows, but Angelsboi has faced some really tough times (even if things are looking up for him right now).
Help me out here someone!

| And you thought Cold Beer was talking crazy, didn't you?
I wasn't kidding either. If we're going to start arbitrarily choosing members to receive $100, then I also want $100.

| Come on, people. Show some Christmas spirit - even if we're still in October.

| Seriously, why don't you start a little fund drive to buy AB a birthday gift? I think that would a nice thing to do.
Why you think the board money should go to it, though, I seriously don't understand.
Seriously. | |

Feel free to raise the money independently. But, as great a guy as Angelsboi is, the money was not given for this purpose.
By starting a thread asking that other people's money be allocated for a purpose different than was requested is an invitation to start a flamewar.
And Angelsboi CERTAINLY does not deserve to be in the middle of that.

| Rather than invite a flame war on this topic, I'd rather close this topic. I hold nothing against Zander or the idea, but BryonD's reasoning said this more simply than I can put it into words. | |
