note- i coming to dusties as a last resort.
hey guys, i wanted to take a second to tell u about something that's very important to me. October is Down Synrome Awareness month. This is important to me because of my niece Riley. She is 8 years old and has DS. She is amazing ans we all love her so much. She needs our help every year. UP WITH DOWNS, the local support group that has really helped my niece Riley, my brother Gerard, and my sister-in-law Alena, has a buddy walk. It's a fun event and and the biggest fund raiser they do.
This year because of government cut backs we are receiving less donations and funding. Riley is also raising money for UP WITH DOWNS.
Please help by donating if you can and spreading the word. The Buddy walk is next weekend Saturday October the 19th. UP WITH DOWNS hAS done so much to help my family, if you can donate it would mean the world to us.You can donate to Riley's secure firstgiving site

i think being generous and donating is fine and all but it all starts with one person asking for help on the forum and then more people would get the idea that if the first one got so many help and donations why shouldn't a second or third asking for donations work out.
im not saying we shouldn't help out the needy (since we spend so much money on games anyways) im just saying that turning a gaming community for all sorts of charity/donation etc etc wouldn't be a good idea. since this can also turn into a big ass scam for getting cheap money now that people are showing sympathy for things like this and then gets exploited.

You know what. I respect all of your guys opinions. But like I said in the post. I came to dust as a last resort. We've been raising money all year. And are 1500 under. Now I wasn't expecting to get all of that plus for UP WITH DOWNS. but maybe a little. I thought PSOE would be thoughtful. But I guess dust is full of immature people. Teens who wanna act older and"cooler" so they reply in smartass remarks. Or older people being rude and insensitive. I really appreciate all the childish support from the adults. Thanks everyone. Now I REALLY know what kind of people you are. |

This is no scam. I came here trying to help my niece who I live with and take care of everyday. Most of you people wouldn't even begin to comprehend how hard it is. And for her to get the courage to actually help out. I'm so proud of her. She even went to locks of love and donated 17 inches of her hair in support. But I guess my 8 year old niece is more of a grown up than all of you. |

Look dude, it's great to raise awareness and all but people who want to donate to charities will. Use Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Tumblr, Instagram, Vine or WHATEVER to broadcast this kind of stuff. People come to Dust and games in general to escape the hardships of life and to enjoy themselves, not to have someone come on to the forums, ask for money and then make us feel guilty when we don't want our leisure time sabotaged. It's a selfish way of thinking but that is the way of it, when we are gaming we are gaming. If we want to donate to something we will do, and will pay far more attention to it from other outlets.
As far as the scenario with QuickGloves goes, he is a beloved community member that was in need of help, that was a different case.
I respect the work you do and urge you to keep it up, but don't come to a gaming forum and expect to not get 'childish' responses if that is what you are deeming the aforementioned. There is nothing more childish than trying to guilt trip people into giving you money. |

Trying to convince people that this is not a Scam in a place like EvE ? You may or may not be genuine, but in HERE, i won't trust my own mother.
Sorry... but is to much BS going on in the EvE universe to take anything seriously. |

Frankly mate I'm censoring myself severely, because I am sick to death of people and organisations taking advantage of the better parts of civility, they ambush you in malls with insincere smiles and well practiced lines like "do you have a minute for cancer/animal welfare/starving children" if i'm civil and obey the rules I was brought up with every time i go to the shops I have to smile and listen to their crap before politely declining to sign up for a dollar a day to save/help whatever.
Instead I now have to walk as far away from them as possible and bluntly say No, and it sh*ts me.
Either way you should be grateful for the negative feedback because some white light do gooder will feel terrible about our responses and donate to make up for it, not me though I think the charity industry is a scam with the fairy feel good charities taking from more deserving causes.
Feel free to call me a c*** but at least I'm an honest c*** |

And FYI, demanding people giving you money and then insulting them when they don't is pathetic. I just lost respect for you and your OP. |

Thank you. I guarantee you there is one near you. But if nit., just remember that October is down syndrome awareness month. So if you see someone with downs be sure to say hi. Enough people look and stare endlessly lime looking at a time warp hole that goes on forever. Partly because they don't know what to say. But I guarantee you that hello a smile and a wave will make their day. I know this cus I see i t every day. Lol. She was was on the big screen today at church for cutting her hair. She loved it. |

This, like other causes, is obviously a good cause.
However, as I mentioned when the last thread came up, this is not something a company can start supporting if they actually wish to have a forum about their product.
EDIT: This is also New Eden... lets say I am less than absolutely trusting of the motives of some folks. |

Definitely a scam. You claim to not have known about QG, but for some odd reason you come to these forums to ask for donations? If you were a forum regular I might be inclined to believe it, but just one look at your likes says you arent around here too often, which also makes it even more unbelievable that this is legit.
The real story:
You saw people giving out donations to QG, decided to try out your own sad little story to get people to treat the situation the same as QG's situation.
Nice try though. But you might have better luck sending out mass emails saying that people have a relative in Nigeria that died and has over 50 million in their name, and all they need to do is send $400 and their social security number along with their name, DOB and occupation to unlock the transfer.
