Houston Upgrade

[TesoMayn]

Since this is the place where "the community comes together", I believe there should be a new (temp) upgrade and the proceeds should be donated to a charity to help with the hurricane relief.

It's a good idea, wouldn't be the first time db donated to a charity either. I believe josh did one for christmas once upon a time.

I believe that the Christmas sub money gets donated every year, I just figured a new upgrade would be purchased, and why not put the money to a good use?

What about a certain percentage of all upgrades that are bought within x amount of days goes to a charity?

That'd be nice, I just suggested a new upgrade because I know people will buy it when it's new and limited time.

I recommend houstonfoodbank.org as a place to donate. If Josh does it, I will match what he does (cPanel is matching my own donation as well).

Would it even gain any traction? This site seems like a ghost town most of the time..

All little bits help. And as everyone in here would already have bought the upgrade, probably, yes.

100% yes. If it's a limited time upgrade, people will catch on and buy it (plus it's a good cause - even if it gains $20 at least it's something)

1 penny per user helps. Also I think we should think about this

i disagree with this, they are already getting a lot of donations. what's the point of wasting devbests funding for this when they have already reached millions of dollars? the money that we would raise is nothing when u have people donating $100's and celebs donating $25,000.

It's not "devbest funding" persay, just utilizing this platform to give something in return of a user's donation, which at the same time is helping those in need.

Trust me, with no walls, floorboards or windows in most houses the Harvey storm came to visit, I think every dollar will absolutely help regardless.

devbest isnt big enough that anyone would acknowledge or care about our donation. just seems like a waste of time when they are doing just fine atm with donations.

That's like saying there's no point in raising money for any charity, because they're making millions of dollars already. If everybody thought like you, maybe nobody would raise money at all.

Your comments are ignorant, it's not about how much or how big the org is, it's about helping and doing what you can to make a small difference.

 

[Kak]

whatever at the end of the day @bigdawg decides so our opinions dont matter. i doubt he will go through with this

Yeah idk man, in my mind any dollar would make a difference. But, one to their own i suppose

I agree,don't get me wrong but you can send money to who is muslim/christian and needs help.

I don't know how being Muslim/Christian correlates with the disaster that happened at Houston.

 

[Ethereal]

I'd be down for this.

Say that to the thousands of other people that's donated under $40
It all adds up. Plus if you read the whole thread @Ecko said he'd match what was made then his company would match that so $40 is now $120
Don't be so negative, if you don't want to help out then don't.

@bigdawg I think you should do this sooner rather than later while it's still "hyped"
