[quote name='boagman']Or, some of the people who've donated items to the raffle might be out of town when the thing ends now, and someone who *wins* said item might be a bit ticked off that the donor can't be reached because they've gone to the other side of the country and can't be bothered/reached at that time. I know I'd be pissed if I'd won something and then, magically, the prize isn't available because the prize giver can't be reached. I'd start smelling something quite quickly indeed.
Like, say, a $15 PSN voucher. Look it up under the PS3 items, see who the donor is, and come back and run your non-item-donating mouth. There are *legitimate reasons* to end something like this on time, just as there's at *least* one legitimate reason to complain when it doesn't. Like it or not, *good cause* or not, this is not CheapyD's finest hour...and we're still not even 70% of the way there, with at least two extensions ($34949.46 at this moment). What if we're nowhere close on the first of February? "Three more months, guys...we can do this!" Really?
It's not just inconvenient...it's a bit of an embarrassment. Sometimes it really is better to rip the bandage off quickly than to try and draw it out over time. Perhaps that is a bit harsh, but it bears saying if the evidence supports it.[/QUOTE]
You must live in a world where the Internet doesn't exist. Communication is pret-ty easy these days no matter where you are. Congratulations on donating a 15 PSN voucher. That definitely gives you a reason to be so high and mighty.
Also, why are people speaking so poorly of Cheapy D when he's been able to rally people together to raise over $35,000 for this charity. Not his finest hour? An embarrassment? Surely this is a finer hour than most of us have had in our lives. I mean, $35,000 is not $15 to spend on PSN, but it's a start!
They're ready to ship out!
