The donation address from Gavin's faucet shows you weren't alone in making huge donations. It had 19,715 Bitcoins donated to it!

Indeed. What's done is done, but we don't forget (well perhaps some of it)!  Wink

As Satoshi pointed out, it was easy to generate 50 Bitcoins back then. Five Bitcoins was "play money", and 500 wasn't a big deal

Excellent choice of a first project, nice work. I had planned to do this exact thing if someone else didn't do it, so when it gets too hard for mortals to generate 50BTC, new users could get some coins to play with right away.  Donations should be able to keep it filled.  The display showing the balance in the dispenser encourages people to top it up.

You should put a donation bitcoin address on the page for those who want to add funds to it, which ideally should update to a new address whenever it receives something.
