Donation Drive

Christoph Malcolm on July 9th, 2008

donateMan, this is so awkward.

So, how are you? Me, I’m good, I guess. Everything’s great, I’m working hard and trying to keep healthy, and– oh, fuck it, can you spot me some cash?

We need money in order to do awesome things. Internet Magic can only carry us so far, and beyond that some Internet Money would really come in handy. It’s not that we don’t love being the indie darlings of the web, but the crotches of our pants are all full of holes and you really don’t want anything poking out of there.

We’re in no danger of having to close down or anything — this isn’t one of those donation drives — but there are a few things we honestly can’t do without a little bit of funding.

Donated money will go directly into the site, prioritized as follows:

  • The first $100 will pay half of our next server bill
  • We want to buy Locke a camera, and Gen a non-clicky camera.
  • We need proper headset microphones for Random Radio to have guests on via Skype.
  • Any extra money will go towards site projects, like Joey’s proposed webgame.
  • Any extra-extra money might help buy us a server upgrade.

If you don’t have superfluous dollars lying around, don’t worry about it — again, the site will remain regardless. If you do, though, consider throwing a few dollars our way to support original content on the Internet, fat people with lots of cats, and improving RandomSalad for future generations of fat people with lots of cats.

You can donate as much or as little as you like by clicking here, with our gratitude.

Random Salad is full of things much less interesting than this. Whether you've come to this page by a link or by voodoo sex magic, pay a visit to the homescreen before you go.

Buying me a camera is probably a bad idea as it will result in very cheesy skits narrated by a girl with a squeaky voice that sort of looks like Kari from mythbusters if you squint really hard.

It’s ok, I like squeaky voices and squinting my eyes.

I’ll kick something in, though I want to stress that hosting “CODE NAME: Beer Wars” (which isn’t really about Beer, though it easily could be) is probably going to raise the price of this whole thingy.

As soon as I get my job slash money, I’ll donate as much as I can.

I’d kick in but you’re using paypal and they kind of hate me.

You don’t need an account if you pay by credit card.

But, really, it would be sort of redundant to send us money to send back to you, assuming we get over $100

Gah - this is like tipping - I never know what is a reasonable amount to donate.

How do you not know what to tip? At least 15% unless the service was awful. Everyone knows that.

Oh wait you’re from the UK so I think you need to give them a fish or tea or something.

Oh har har Locke ;)

When I set up a PayPal account I’ll see what the exchange rate is from UK pounds to American fish … fish!?!?! What the hell are you on about, you think we tip or donate in fish over here?

All right, Paypal is not liking me at the moment. Will try to donate again later. I keep telling it I am in the U.S. It keeps asking me which Canadian province Honolulu is in. I keep entering an amount over $20 to donate. It keeps telling me to enter an amount greater than 0. Best to try on the home computer.
