[Fundraiser] Help Poniverse Get To BronyCon!

[NavelColt 22,881]

I know it'll get to $575, I plan to donate $20. I'll have to mail it though because my mom won't let me write a check

I really do love this site. To the point where I will risk mailing money.

 

Mailing money isn't too bad :3 If you can, you should use those envelopes that have the blue design inside so you can't see what's inside by putting light in front of it. I used to mail ten bucks to a guy on DeviantART to draw my Sonic characters a lot Every time it went off without a hitch.

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,527]

But lets say that no one else donates, it stays at the current mark of $555 and Feld0 doesn't go to Bronycon. To Feld0 and crew, what do you have planned for the amassed funds?

 

I have several guesses for what plans you'd have for it, such as an emergency 'buffer' reserve, going towards the server as regular donations to just saving it for next years Bronycon. I ask though because I'm sure that there will be others with the same question and I doubt many will scroll through all the replies to get an answer. 

 

This is a good concern to bring up. If we fall short, what exactly happens will depend on how much has been raised by then, and the state of my personal financial situation. If enough has been raised that I can reasonably make up the rest with personal savings and still cover my tuition bills, all should still go as planned. But in the unlikely event that we can't even make it that far, the contributions to this fundraiser will be credited back to everyone somehow, probably as site subscriptions.

i really wish i could donate, but this stallion is broke. Maybe i can in a month or so. hopefully, if i don't spend my paycheck on something stupid. 

[Unpredictable Ranger 696]

I have a question about the donations. Why is it that my Visa card cannot be used for this fundraiser whereas it could be used for online payments?

[King 5,625]

I've made a decision. If Im able to get on the computer before late July (On the Farm), I'll donate one full paycheck to the fundraiser. That equates to about $800. I won't have need for it due to several reasons. Most specifically the fact that I won't be able to spend my money while out there, other then some food, so I'll have money piling up, may as well put it to good use

 

(I tend to do crazy shit like this sometimes)

I need to follow this up with you personally, as any number of things can cause a payment issue unique to you. Look for my message!

I really wish I could donate more than I have but I need money for two trips Im going to this summer :/

[Unpredictable Ranger 696]

I wish that I can donate more than I can afford, sadly I can't do that due to many other obligations (still studying, btw, not even in a full-time job yet).

[Moonpie 55]

Are there other ways that we could possibly contribute ? I do have PP but I am just wondering for the sake of curiosity having my mind

[MeanBlackHawk 147]

Well I just started my job lifeguarding.  We haven't opened yet but I plan to work tomorrow.  Soooo I'll see what I can do.  Lol maybe instead of sending the money to you, you should come here and get it from me personally.

Yeah I know it was just a little joke I made there that's why I overlined the text silly

 

But it's awesome that you can donate that much!

[MeanBlackHawk 147]

I wish I had that money to spare,  unfortunately I have college coming up so I have to save up this summer because it's all the spending money I'll have. ): talk about hard labor...

Credit and debit card payments are available, and I can arrange for a cheque or cash payment if you contact me personally via a private message.

Get me from British Columbia to Maryland and back for less than the cost of sending the money, and we have a deal.

[Moonpie 55]

Hah! Oh belive me if I could travel to see many sites people and cultures I would love to! Sadly finances blow -.- and on one income as we all know just does not support that xd

[Unpredictable Ranger 696]

I am a bit in confusion here. While I am aware that we can contribute via Credit/Debit card and PayPal because both are the available options I saw so far.... what is PP? Is it something Pony-Payment or something else?

Hahahaha I see, so I guess that's a mayyyybbeeeee???? Lol, that sucks that I can't just hand you the money in person like a shady drug dealer. Oh well I guess that I just find it funny to see the money is being sent out all that way, only to be brought back here to where it started.  (If my money that I contribute doesn't go into the actual plane ticket cost that is and is used for hotel costs and stuff like that).  

 

Will you do any sightseeing in Baltimore or is it just panel and no time for other things.  I could give everyone a tour of my hometown; the place where I was born and raised!  I doubt that, that is the case though but if there is free time we could coordinate.  Just an idea. 

[Pancakegirl123 2]

Good luck! I wish I could donate but I don't have the money. Try asking pinkie pie, I'll bet she has some ballons to share, or she ate them all. Either way, Have fun!

[DashieLives 20]

Wait so like, the donations is going to affect MLP forums? Or just to fundraise like that? Cause Im planning to tell my parents to dontate to this website.

[Jokuc 8,174]

@@Feld0,

I'm doubting we will reach 2,000. How much can you pay yourself to get your ass over there?

 

Also, if I donate now after everyone already have gotten it, will I still get that fancy badge-thing?

Well normal donations would just help to keep the site up and running since it costs money. A donation to this helps Feld0 to be able to get to bronycon and talk about mlp foruns and poniverse.. And probably pony.fm

It comes down to how much time I/we have outside of convention and Poniverse stuff. Time-permitting, I would love to go sightseeing in the area, and I hope that we can make that happen.

This fundraiser is to fund a trip for me to attend BronyCon on behalf of the Poniverse community. It's separate from the donations and subscriptions that go toward the direct upkeep of the site itself.

I'm starting university in September, so that's very likely to become a huge drain on my personal savings. I'm in the position to cover a limited amount of the travel expenses myself, but I need the vast majority of my savings for university. This trip is really something I'd like to make for the Poniverse community, and I wouldn't be planning it at all if I didn't have the opportunity to attend BronyCon as a Poniverse ambassador.

 

The fancy badge and magenta name are available for everyone who contributes $10 or more, until the fundraiser comes to a close. Special thanks to @Nico for making the badge! See this thread's OP for more information.

[An Old Head 4,816]

I was supportive of the cause anyway, but I donated $10.74 specifically to bring the total up to $777.77.

 

I feel resolutely happy!

[Unpredictable Ranger 696]

Yay, thank you for the delicious pie Rarity's cutiemark badge, @Feld0! Though I was a bit surprised why the text is..... uh, this colour rather than Rarity's mane's colour~ XD

Donated $50 to the cause. You clearly do great work and love what you do, I'm always willing to help someone who loves what they do. I hope you're able to get to Bronycon and have a wonderful time.
