(2) Let's make it an annual event/charity auction/whatever to make sure the ENworld coffers stay funded as required.

Now we'll be able to afford a really expensive, gold or silver, Hong-beatin' stick!

I like the idea of a chat "a thon" fund raising event. Maybe in 6months we could get Monte Cook or Richard Baker or someone to help raise some money again, once you guys figure out whats going to be done to cover the hosting fees and the techincal issues...
Joe, I'm curious about the taxes. Couldn't you just give it all to Morrus, call him a contributor who ownes 100% or the royalties or something, and write the whole thing off, not having the pay a thing?Right now I'm just giving raw numbers. They'll be a bit less once all the accounting is settled, as we have to pay 3% merchant fees and $0.30 per transaction. And we have to count all the donations as income since EN World/Morrus isn't a non-profit so we'll have to pay taxes on it....
