Holding of anyone's personal funds by myself would be a really bad idea to proceed with as there would be unnecessary chaos among other members who are not really willing to trust me with the money. We can hire either someone like DarkStar_, krogothmanhattan or bL4nkcode (probably there are more reputed escrows) and I guess they wouldn't be imposing any fees for the escrow amount as this initiative is for a good cause and not for trading goods as such.

I am still not sure why there isn't much interest in this topic even after 90 views. Aren't the other Indians not willing to participate in this celebration or not really willing to change our sub-board a little? Truly speaking, I was always jealous on other local boards (be it Indonesian, French, Russian) on how innovative, contributive and helpful they are. All the members in a particular local board would have a better bonding than our Indian board TBH. I can name only a handful of us (may be around 10) are really interested in this section and other Indians are coming here only to weed out the remaining quality emerging here.  

We are still not really away from the idea as there is more than 1-2 weeks for these celebrations to be implemented here but anything would work only  when there is much interest in the board on the whole. Recently it was really refreshing to see Stedsm getting involved in the community but there are still many of them who are really not willing to step inside this board. There was a thought back last year that every one of the quality Indian posters rejected this board due to the massive uncontrollable spam present here, but recently we are seeing a positive light of quality being restored all over the board.

Yes I was thinking of this recently.

Thanks for the help. I was contacted by another anonymous user and they have said they would be helping with the rewards as well. But all in all, we need to bring enough interest in the board.

Let's not WAIT FOR THE CHANGE, but instead Let's BE THE CHANGE
