That is genuinely the daffiest thing I have read all week, maybe the entire year.
Yep, but I've seen that sentiment expressed before and it's always baffled me.
In any case, I thought I recalled Theymos saying the forum's finances were such that no more donations were needed--and even if I'm wrong in my recollection, I can't see any good reason to donate money to bitcointalk, even if you love the forum as much as I do. I won't even donate money to charities, as I have no idea what they're going to do with a donation.
Bitcointalk might have needed donators in its early years, but I'm pretty sure that isn't true anymore.
