    I know a lot of ya'll have donated after Canoner's post in the Rocks section but I want to start an official $1000 fundraiser right here in the hangout for the great service that Clutch provides for all of us useless barnacles.

    I will start it off with $10 this month and every month here after and just make a post here with your tip jar amount and we will count down to $1000 and do it every year. I really love the fact that there are no ads or pop ups on this site and we should do things like this to make sure it stays that way.

    I understand that some people can't contribute too much. I don't make too much but I can do $10 a month considering the service the site provides to me. I am sure that any contribution is well appreciated. Pay pal is easy and secure.

    So here it goes.

    Total - $10.00
    Remaining - $990.00

    On a related note, I was thinking of doing a fundraiser/get-together kinda thing...lemme know what yall think.

    Clutch Casino Night: I have a craps table (well, pool table w/ craps felt on it) & could set up a poker and/or blackjack table as well. I'll provide a keg or everybody can just bring their booze of choice, you buy chips ($20 minimum), gamble, drink, bull****, & whatnot & all the $$$ goes to Clutch.

    Any takers?

    Dude, we should get together. I've got a bunch of drugs and some hookers I could bring over, we could get everybody screwed up and have 'em wasting their money on odd-stacked gambling games and drunkenly emptying their wallets for prostitutes.

    Okay, I'm just kidding. But that is a good idea, maybe you should just have a door fee or something, and have the games be independent. I dunno, I mean, what if somebody goes on a crazy streak or something and actually win more money than they lose? We couldn't rob the tip jar. Or could we?

    Wow, a lot more responses than I thought. This board has really cool members. The donations that some of ya'll make really surprise me. Perhaps Clutch can invent some way of giving credit to those giving donations. Some of the donations in the canoner thread really surprised me. I am reminded how good hearted people can be when they don't have to be. Kind of like Clutch when he started this thing without expecting any donations. What goes around comes around.

    You guys really surprised me one day and

    Remaining -

    $910

    And I love poker. But currently I am not big on funds. In a month maybe.

    Good memory:D

    I like to play poker with adults now. The mistake was playing with 19 year olds. Freaking testosterone filled morons.

    Great idea - I think there should also be a thread like this in the D&D forum...all these angry people could get some relief for their conscience by donating ;).
