Thanks,
my query is:
I have dc credits already on my account. If I donate them towards the site now, will they go towards the total (as shown in banner)
TIA
Title: Re: DonationCoder 2018 Fundraiser
Post by: mouser on April 02, 2018, 09:08 AM
They won't automatically, no.

In fact the fundraiser banner tallies new money coming into the site during the fundraiser, and it doesn't really pay attention to where it goes, so some people might donate during the fundraiser and send some credits to a specific person, but it still counts it in the fundraiser tally.  That's ok because *most* people don't do that, and any money bouncing around the site is good.  (So for example in other words, the money in your donationcredits might have come from and been counted in the LAST fundraiser).

Having said that -- if you'd like to send your donationcredits to the site account and have it count on the fundraiser banner -- or if someone recently donated to the site and would like their credits "counted", just send me a personal message and tell me how much and I'll update the banner appropriately so your contribution is counted  :Thmbsup:

Since we've passed the $4,800 main goal (the server hosting costs for the next year), the fundraising thermometer is now being reset to the lofty and perhaps unrealistic ultimate goal of $10,000, as is our tradition.

Additional raised money will allow us to embark on some new projects on the site.  This will include putting a chunk of money towards funding a handful of dc members who are interested in writing regular weekly software/technology columns.

What an incredible final week of the fundraiser it has been -- we have exceeded my expectations handily.  It's been such a wonderful thing to see the past donors and new donors together carry us over the finish line.  :-* :-* :-*

Everyone who donated in the last week please excuse my delay in sending you a thank you email.. I am a bit behind in my emails and now have 100+ to reply to.  :huh:
Title: Re: DonationCoder 2018 Fundraiser
Post by: mouser on April 29, 2018, 07:38 PM
By the way -- I attributed the very high number of donations in this last week to an email I sent out to all previous donors -- but I've since found out that Gizmo at techsupportalert also sent out an email about our fundraiser, which surely accounts for a major chunk of the donations that have come in over the last week (gizmo's techsupportalert readers are some of the most supportive people there are).  So a big thanks goes to gizmo (ian) and everyone at techsupportalert.com for carrying us over the top.

Here is gizmo's wonderful post about our fundraiser:
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

What a class act Ian (Gizmo) is.  We are so lucky to have their support.  :-*


The only correction I should make to what Gizmo said was that we definitely do not have a fundraiser every year -- we don't have the energy and we know people don't have the patience for that, and it's hard to come asking for money unless we have some real improvements to justify it.. It's been 3 years since our last one.. It may be 3 more years until the next one.

This is so wonderful.  It's been a few years since we held a fundraiser and I forget how nice it feels to get the boost of support and energy that comes from people taking the time to donate and being willing to share their hard earned money with us.

Quick question.. What if I can't donate until Wednesday (Social Security doesn't arrive until then and my current bank balance is $0.41)?

Donate on wednesday! We accept donations year round.

Having said that, because we will be doing something special with the fundraising money, send me a little reminder when you do donate and I'll make sure it gets added to the fundraising total.  :up:

We are so thankful to everyone who donated or helped behind the scenes, and everyone who participates on the forum and makes the site a little home away from home.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much.
