BigAl mentioned in this thread that he's working to get some children into school. DaveNay, B_Skurka, Doc and myself would like to assist in this initiative.
For every member that joins in April 2006, each of us will donate $1 towards this initiative. We will also donate another $1 for each 10 posts that any new member makes during the month. (So starting with the 4 of us, that's $4 being donated for each new member).
Also, each of us will donate $.50 for every existing member that posts to the poll above.
So, invite people to join the forum and we'll donate to help these kids get an education.
If any member would also like to make such a pledge, please post it in this thread.
The fine print.
1. Regardless of the turnout to this thread, each of us will donate no less than $82 (the price for one school year for a child).
2. Due to other donations, each of need to set a limit of $246 (the price for one school year for 3 children).
3. For the "post count" bonus, the posts need to be at least "quasi-meaningful". Posts for the sake of just incrementing the post count won't be counted.
4. I will need to confirm that each new member is unique. No duplicates based on either IP address or e-mail address. (duplicate ID's is also breaking an existing forum rule so please don't do it...).
EDIT by B_Skurka: Since DaveNay decided to join in with a matchin donation, I edited his name into the list, and changed the math to include his contribution.
