WTF, No one is making him buy a raffle ticket!!!! Everyone makes there own choice to purchase a ticket or tickets!!!
If there's a problem some people need to speak to the proper channels!!!!
Before you read on...you should know that I do enjoy most all of the raffles...have even won some brakelines once and think that these are the fastest and most effiicient way to raise funds. So this is NOT a bash of any one person, thing, or situation!
I think it was more the way the WAY the money was used.
Generally, as we understand it...raffles are to support the costs of running the board...period. Any thing left over from the costs of acquiring the prizes, and PayPal fees should have gone straight to the board...like a mini escrow account until such time as the funds were needed.
There were separate threads setup to help out Cache and his situation and any use of the raffle funds without prior disclusure is a bit misleading.
I am sorry that I do not recall RSD's situation at the moment, but for Cache's "I go in over my head financially"...well, shiot happens to all of us. I went 7+ years without a bike after my unfortunate incident late one night in the middle of a whelie.
I just had to wait until the time was right again.
We don't need an Enron type deal here...but if something like that is to be done, at least tell us in advance.
My math puts 3960.00USD in the site's coffers....if CAP want's to do something with it other than maintain the board, then that is HIS deal, and it should never have been made public knowledge after the fact.
The site's funds should be fine for a few months...lol
That all having been said...when's the next set of tires coming up?
