Wait a minute what is the donation use for I guess it should be given to the needdy instead. That's a whole lot of money to be presided. We should get up some answers to this question: Do admin(s) use it instead of donating?

It is money donated to the forum and the people handing it over presumably do it for the benefit of the forum. The needy can set up their own donation addresses somewhere.

You can read about it on the donation page here - https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

"The Bitcoin Forum is a website meant to host free discussion of Bitcoin and related topics. It is operated mainly as a service to the community, and the vast majority of income after expenses is either saved for future expenses or reinvested into the forum or the community."

The original thread about it is here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38071.0
