Site News: Why The Fuck Should I Donate To AvoidingthePuddle.com?

We have added a donate tab at the top of our web site.
Why the fuck should I donate to AvoidingthePuddle.com?
TTT2 is just around the corner and I am very lucky to have three arcades within ten miles of my house that are getting it. One of my goals for this web site is to provide people all over the world with a weekly live stream of TTT2 from the arcade. Unfortunately, stream equipment is expensive.
What exactly will my donations buy?
At first, all donations we receive will go towards printing Avoiding the Puddle T-shirts. We will eventually be selling these T-shirts as well as accepting donations in order to raise money for proper stream equipment to be able to stream TTT2 for the world.
Once we get enough money to print T-shirts, we will have arcade stick giveaways as a thank you to everyone who helped make it happen. Hori was very generous and hooked us up with a couple arcade sticks to give away so that’s another thing to look forward to.
Even if you can’t donate, just visiting our site and spreading the word helps. All donations are very much appreciated and are going back into the community that we all love.

USMCOgre manliness sperm is worth zmillionz ---- stream will be up in no time if we can get some of that onto the black market. lol
So if I PayPal money to:
Avoiding The Puddle
...it will go to you, Aris? Just want to make sure it is correct because I am having issues with my PayPal login from the "Donate" link. Maybe because I am in Canada, I do not know.
Hey Aris/Ninjas - before my retardedness shows too much - do you think by the time Evo happens they will have an Arcade somewhere in Vegas close to the Venue that we can check out during the event?
@ Forest, you shouldn't be having issues - I sent mine from South Africa and afaik PayPal is supposed to be the system used to transfer cash without much hassle to any country, any where, any time. Maybe check with PayPal tech?
*TTT2 Arcade that is -
@Hotshot, I highly doubt it. But who knows, maybe TTT2 will be at Evo!
Forrest: What issues are you having?
Yeah, it'll go to Aris and me. All the other ones have so far.
@ Aris - that would fucking pwn so hard.
@ Forest - hope that worked out for you.
@ everyone else - remember to donate, if you're serious about the community - this is a massive step forward and will be well worth any cash you can contribute.
Also when you're donating - remember the work doesn't just end with buying the equipment - some poor dood still has to wonder around and make time in their sched to capture/supervise all of this - then some next guy or the same guy has to go home and edit which can be hemma long - plus there is always potentially repair/replacement costs etc. to equipment, PC's, Laptops need some upgrading for 720p quality editing etc. -
People underestimate time and resource management on a lot of this - on top of that there is still finding the time to keep up to date with news and hit up pod casts n shit...
ATP is the fuck busy, and if it isn't already enough, they are gonna be when all this cap equip comes into play
- help where you can.
@ Aris - sorry to be a pest - another suggestion I would have is for a while until your Stream Adventure is realised - Sticky this thread/post about "Donate to ATP" at the Top of every Sub Heading - or even just at least as the Top as the 1st post when someone clicks on "News".
The more you're adding news the further down this awareness becomes...
I would think this needs to be in the eye of the community for as long as it takes to get rolling...
4. Your information was so-so. Still I agree with you that doing Charity is very good. It helps people who are really in distress. And it’s my personal opinion that every person who is living a wealthy life, must Donate money of a little amount of their wealth to help others. Donate money, Help a cause
