In donations we received £800, a copy of FM2009, a copy of that free FM 00/01 that a newspaper gave away 20 years ago and whatever the hell this is from some fella who goes by the name ‘bliss.’ Some old codger all excited to fire up FM 09, and take Werthers Wanderers to Champion's League glory, only to find it is already linked to another Steam account.

I wouldn't judge anyone for taking it. What a pity the forum doesn't have a system to let people know you're joking when posting, like a little colourful face to show the emotion you intended in the post. I know I know, I just didn't want anyone to feel they had to. I wasn't digging at you as much as clarifying for anyone reading that it was a joke. Sarcky pants.

Popular Post Jorg Posted February 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2021 Just to confirm my donations. It has made me think about my charity donations. I have been a very keen supporter of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation that raises money to research the causes of MND and the potential cures. I have also been doing a bit of research into mental health charities. However, the Hospices don't have the public platform of the big charities so I am sure the money will be very much appreciated and be put to great use. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezer Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Wasn't really expecting much when I started this thread, other than a post count reset. Genuinely did just want to give a little something back to a community that has been a relatively big part of my life for so long but thanks to @SouthCoastRed it's surpassed all expectations and everybody's generosity has been remarkable.

Jimbokav1971 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm not a regular in OTF and I'm afraid that even a thread like this probably isn't going to change that but...... Perhaps some of you regulars would consider creating a "Charity" thread and once a [insert time period here] people could submit Charities of their choice and then a vote be run on whichever charity the thread want to support over the next [insert time period here]. Me and my £15.8? whatever it was isn't really big enough to make a difference to any charity, no matter how worthwhile and in need of support it is, but as a group who could band together as we did here, the "power" we have to support a charity really is significant. I know that SI already do their own charity stuff, (and that's brilliant), but perhaps we could do more as a group? Giving to charity is something that I'm sure many of us do anyway. Pooling our resources together doesn't mean that we give more, (or less), it just means that we have the potential to make a bigger impact on the chosen charity at that time. Like I said, I'm not a regular in here so I'm not in a position to carry this forward, but if any of you who are, think this is a decent idea, perhaps it's something you might look at? Good luck and well done to all who donated, (no matter how small and to where). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought vaguely about similar earlier actually, would be nice if every so often people grouped together and donated to good causes as in this thread. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's twice now I've been searching up and down for County Down, only to find they've lumped us in with those other, peasant, counties as one combined Northern Ireland. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezer Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 It's amazing how generosity can be so infectious, and addictive. I'd give more if I could but I've reached my limit for this week but well done to everybody that contributed. I'd say it's restored a bit of my faith in humanity but I already knew we had a good bunch here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
