There is no "opinion" - just facts. And where am I wrong?
I believe it is explained in quoted post.
Donation funds are specifically for mexxer's thread. I believe they are for users who posted their findings in that thread.
Lutpin told you to give him your address so he can send you your share of donations. Also, he said he will return donations to users who wants them back. So he didn't break anything here.
Also, I don't see you have made contract with lutpin that these funds will be used in new thread which is "similar" but not the same community "project".
All you have managed to do is re-confirm Lutpin is refusing to hand over the funds.
?
I however do recognize that Timelord did actively contribute to the mexxer-2 thread and would be more than happy to forward them part of the donations for that help.
If Timelord wants to send me an address to where I can do that, and then send those funds on to the new donation address, that's their decision.
Also, if anybody had sent funds to the donation address I control and disagrees with my decision, they can contact me and upon verifying their donation, I will refund them, should they not be happy with my handling of it.
