Spike on the loose!

404 :(

sorry about that

Did I miss a thread? How much did GreenguyAndJim's webmasters raise for IMPA?

Actually, the http://www.impai.org website just came back online for me today (Far-L told me of some dns issues)

I think we raised $1500 - I will have Jim verify that - but we were waiting for the site to come back up so that when we announced it, people had something to read - LOL

Oh yeah, almost forgot......

WAY TO GO SPIKE!!!!!

Hats of to Spike, nothing but Class and shooting simply the facts. |bananna|

Site is back, thanks for mentioning that... and huge thanks for the kind words.

Seing that Acacia's income for last quarter was only something like $17,000 for licensing and their expenses were huge in comparison it will only be a matter of time before their shareholders start complaining.

I was one of the first to receive an Acacia letter last year around August and I called Mr Berman and told him I will remove my videos before I ever pay any licensing to them.

I did remove the videos because our video sales were so low that it wasn't even earning us $50 per month.

That is correct sir. Actually it was a little less than $1500 but we will just round up :) I just made the donation |flyaway|

$1500, including the $1k GG&J threw into the pot?

damn there are some cheap fuckers here. While im proud of GG&J, i know some of you guys could of thrown some coin into the pot. Im in the biggest cash crunch of my life and i did.

Unless im misunderstanding this, its pretty disappointing to me

:(

We are grateful for any donation and everything helps.

Please do not be critical of anyone that has taken the time and spent their hard earned cash to contribute.

Im not being critical of those who took time and spent hard earned cash, im being critical of people who can afford to send money and didnt :)

I dont want to piss the world off, i just think some more people could have stepped up but they just passed the buck, i thought the ante would be way higher... hey ive tried to raise $ online before for medical care for a relative of a sick friend - raised over 5k and the guy is living a good life now because of the donations that payed for his treatment ... what i realized (generalization) is that its usually the people who dont have much who are willing to give, unfortunately.

Im glad for every cent that was donated though! Just ragging on the cheapskates ;)

Mike219: thanks for clarifying that and I apologize for my misunderstanding the sentiment.

Mikey - it's all good :) I know a couple of people told us they donated already OR were served with papers themselves, in which case, I think they need the money for their own legal woes.

In any event, I know Far-L & the boys were very happy with our donation & every little bit helps :)

For those of you that wish to donate on your own, you can do so here - http://www.impai.org/

yea im not trying to start any ruckuss, it is all good, i was just shocked actually to see the amount ... didnt even consider the fact that many have made donations on their own, (bad habit of mine talking without thinking)

ehh, i guess im a crass bastard :)

|flush|

mikey 219 I agree with you and it is critical that all of us donate and stand together on this.

yea i think its important to fight this ridiculous extortion, but having thought about it, i have no idea which members of this board have made private donations, therefore did not throw into the GG&J pot.

Pure and simple i was just surprised by the total because i know the hosts of the board put up 1k and i know what i put in, and believe me im strapped right now. i expected to see a lot more, but again, that is assuming people havent donated directly, so ...

i think it best to say good job GG&J on your donation, raising awareness (i wouldnt have donated had it not been for your newsletter), and thanks to the others who have donated be it with GG&J or on their own :)

Everyone threw in what ever they could afford. We had donations of $100 and donations of $3. Probably about 20 people donated something.
