As lame as you guys make it out to be, money is money. He's getting the money in the end; it seems people are actually donating to the cause. It could be a scheme to sell more premium accounts as well, but money is money.
If you don't like it, don't donate, I wouldn't donate because I don't even know who this guy is.

The way I see it, I get lots of emails asking for stuff and it's up to me to do whatever with it. Donate or don't, it doesn't make any difference to anyone else other than the person donating and the person benefitting from it.
If I knew this guy or had extra cash then I probably would have. However, I chose not to. I participated in this discussion which was also my choice.

if someone ask for help, especially only a few bucks, i'd help. if ur not willing to help, that fine. but dont make it harder on the person himself. im pretty sure he has consider what would ppl think of him when he ask for money like this, but he still did it. why? because this is a once in a life time thing and he really wants to give his wife a good time.
bottom line is, if ur not willing to help, thats fine. but dont worsen the situation by saying things that doesnt benifit urself.

do you guys know the site owner or visit that site often?
when someone you know gets married, sends you an invitation and creates a registry online of what gifts they want, do you call them a begger?

I really want to have a good time when I get married, so I am going to do everything I can to do that. This does not include hitting up all the countless people I have done free car work for cash. This is just the way I do things, and I am not saying that anyone else should be like me.
I also did not post in the forum on RS25.com since I am not donating. This thread here though is different. I also didn't say anything bad or even not nice about the owner of RS25.com. I also said if I knew him I would have donated. I don't understand what the problem is here.

Why on Earth would I ever call a friend a beggar in the situation you mentioned above? Did I ever call anyone a beggar? This is gettin' silly... Donate or don't. End of story.

yea, i agree on the donate or not part, but a lot of members here started judging what type of person he is by one email.

In the end you can call these people lowlifes, proudly state that you have higher moral standards, etc. etc. but it's the anonymous internet and at the end of the day the guy's got a wad of cash.

Also, wouldn't a donation be to a charity or someone mopre needy then yourself? Isn't he really just asking for gifts from people?

what i said wasnt direct at u, it was direct at everyone who posted negative comments in this thread. so dont take it personally.
"How am I making "it" harder on the site owner of RS25.com by participating in a discussion here on I-club?"
if he sees this thread wouldnt it give him hard feelings? i guess u wouldnt know if u dont consider other ppl's feelings.
"What am I saying that doesn't benefit myself?"
the negative comments that u' gave.
again not ONE thing that i've said was direct at u, i dunno why u took it personally. all i was trying to do is asked ppl to be nice. there is freedom of speech, by no means im trying to stop u guys from saying anything. if u enjoy critizicing thats ur choice. however down the road if u were the one who's asking for help, im sure u wouldnt want to see all these negative comments either. u might say this would never happen to u. but u never know, anything is possible.
