Provost Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I looked at the board rules and didn't see anything that addressed this but Mods delete if it is not allowed. I have been a positive contributor on this forum for more than a decade... one of the longest members around. We are in a competition to get a big grant and it requires some online votes (ridiculously few actually) to get to the final round where we are guaranteed some funding. It is to support Infertility Awareness (1 in 6 couples in Canada have difficulty conceiving). I actually have it on pretty good authority that a Canuck player has dealt with this issue recently. It tends to be a younger demographic on this board who may not have encountered this yet... but many will. Basically, folks can vote once per day for the next 12 days... just go to this link: http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf16926 It would be a really big deal if folks could take the few seconds it takes to do this... don't sign up through the Facebook option as it asks for access to your profile like every other app does. Just sign up using your spam email address (they don't actually send out spam, I have gotten 1 email from them in a year). Much appreciated!

goalie13 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Sounds like a great cause, but my votes have been going to my local Scout camp... http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf17552 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Voted! GL buddy I wish you much success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Also worthwhile! People have 15 votes, and most people won't go back every day...so they can vote for both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Agreed. Especially as we get deeper into this round. Right now I have 13 votes left and there are 12 days (I think) left in this round. As the days go by, new entrants can easily split their votes so as to not waste any.

MillerGenuineDraft Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I was going to vote but it requires a registration and that's too much work for MillerG.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 I see the trolls have come out in force... nothing better to do with their lives than make snide posts. Hey guys... try doing something positive and worthwhile with your time that makes the world better. The "I am cool and apathetic thing only works well until you hit about 15 years old".

Provost Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 thank you for the lecture on how I should spend my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 You are welcome, hope you learned something... I doubt it, but I try to believe the best in people. The reference to people doing something useful is not in relation to whether they vote for my particular cause or not... but referring to the fact that their enjoyment comes from posting meaningless negative crap in a thread to make themselves feel cool.

Provost Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nice contradiction, the fact all you saw was negativity in those posters says something about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Not at all, it takes a special kind of loser to be the kind of person who comes in and craps on a charity thread for kicks, one that had been positive about a couple of charities and not mine in particular. The same as someone on a new/alternate account who probably got banned before for their inappropriate behavior coming in and defending them.
