PirateCat. We see you post. You make promises. You lag behind on those promises. (So far no big deal right...) Then you just stop even answering? Heck, I specifically contacted AEG on their message boards when the donation drive was on and asked them to donate swag, I also heard that Spycraft related stuff was donated. I do not and did not want to see this site die. But a lot of people donated and were probably donating some of their normal *Buy RPG Money* as there was an incentive to donate more.
Can someone please address this? (Please?)

I've figured out whose address I need, and on the basis of good advice am double-checking on current addresses. I have sent out the first string of emails confirming (or getting) mailing addresses for the folks I need them for. I'll do the second flurry as soon as I'm back from Indianapolis.
Folks, I didn't donate to get prizes, I donated to help ENWorld. The fact nice people sent me stuff to say thanks for donating is nice, but it's not why I donated. I get more stuff for donating, that's nice, but not getting more stuff aint gonna destroy my life.

I think you've missed the point. I, too, did not donate because of the prizes. In fact, I donated before it was announces that those that did donate would get prizes.
What people are more upset about is not the fact that prizes haven't been doled out, but that we've been promised, many times, that everything would be taken care of "soon." That certain things would happen that didn't. If anyone kept telling me "It'll be done soon" and kept falling through on their promises, my patience would definitely wear thin. Especially if it had been 9 months since they first told me they would complete the project, even if they were having personal issues. 9 months is a long time and if the person working on the project can't do it, they need to give it to someone that can and not continue to make empty promises.

Why, is that the only time we can inquire about the state of affairs of a major prize distribution?mythusmage said:
I would expect that few of the people who donated to the new server drive last November did so for the prizes. We're all wonderful people; hooray for us. I met Kevin and gamed with him at GenCon this week. He instantly became one of my favorite people. But sometimes, I remind even my best friends when they need to follow through on something. I don't think politely bumping the thread a few times a week looking for updates three-quarters of a year later constitutes the sort of greed your comments seem to imply to me. Most of the posts I have seen in that thread in the last few months (though I heven't gotten there yet to see any updates within the last week) have seemed more curious than nasty or greedy.
