doesn't look like it's going ahead for any charity right now :D

never mind, all those cancery babies probably deserved it

those cancery babies do have other charity funding options available, which is nice

b3ta is shits 'n' giggle mainly, trying to mix charity with Maddie and 9/11 Jokes (et al) is a little 'square peg in round hole'-esque.
If it does happen, then the newsletter is the best place for spamming it via eBay or wherever.

absolutely, hence 3

I don't want to annoy the majority of b3ta users, even if it does cure aids

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:17, archived)

if that's the case, then I'd suggest showing this to /talk, /links and /ot

at least that way, a majority of b3ta gets a say, and can have an input :)

does it not make more sense to only ask the image appreciating public?

I assume people who don't partake of the image board are doing so because they're sick of the sight of our scribblings, and quite unlikely to want to buy one of them.

there are people who use all boards

and if you truly want the majority of b3ta to have a say, you need to ask them.

(

but if they are viewing here/using all boards

then they will see this?

(

I'm just suggesting that if you want the majority of b3ta to have a say

it's down to more than just regular users of one particular board. You may get more support from /links, /ot etc. than you realise.
Who's to say b3tans who don't post images may not be willing to buy one from those that do? Even those who don't visit here all that often.

I'm not suggesting regulars should be choosing

I just think that the image board contributors and viewers may be best people to ask about something done on the image board. In much the same way as while I do look at the talk board and comment rarely I'm not going to tell them how to do stuff on there :)
There's nothing stopping them popping over here and having a vote. I just don't want to go over there, say the wrong thing and cause all of them to come and click the fuck off option in response to me accidentally pissing them off.

that's fair enough, but it's then just a /board event, not a b3ta one.

also makes it appear very 'cliquey'

(

The Great Architect is still waiting for his account to be deleted on, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:35, archived)

fuck off with the cliquey thing, please, I'm genuinely tired of that word being thrown around here

it's not, its for everyone with an interest, or if the majority want it to fuck off, then that's what it will do

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:36, archived)

well, that's told me then.

(

Nah I certainly know a fair few /linkers who are decent sorts, and just don't post that often here because they don't have the time/inclination/skillz to muck about with images.

Can't really testify to /talk (without goping down the obvious cliche road of /talk-dissing) or /ot since I don't really frequent...

might I suggest Scope for a charity that does good things

(

The list is endless no?

^this is the other thing, deciding on a charity

it will needs input of all for charity suggestions, then a separate poll every time to be impartial. I'd suggest the 'artwork' is prepared (and displayed online here somewhere) before the charity is decided/announced

(

The Great Architect is still waiting for his account to be deleted on, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:24, archived)

I would say the other way around

some people may only want to donate artwork once they know who they're giving it away for.

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:26, archived)

and vice versa, others may not want to donate 'artwork' if their charity isn't picked...

it's a fickle thing

(

The Great Architect is still waiting for his account to be deleted on, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:27, archived)

Perhaps everyone who donates artwork can nominate a charity

and all the suggestions go in a poll.

then either winner takes all or split it in a green-tokens-in-Waitrose stylee.

^ this sounds like a fair system

(

Paul_P http://www.Paul-hub.com, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:39, archived)

OTOH

if it does go the eBay route then no doubt you can specify which charity for which item and proceeds go direct to the charity of the donator's choice (as long as it's one on the eBay list).
