Why are we getting swamped by "donate" threads???

You stop the swamps, I'll stop the donate threads. Very egg and chicken.

You use a full roll per dump? Or do you dump multiple dumps a day?

did anything ever come of this travesty?

Clov!s someone who does contribute to the forums (and to me in this secret santa) didn't get anything in return. I know the previous year something was sent through to the guy who didn't get anything and there was a group paypal donation thing as well. Haven't seen anything about Clov!s though.

No, I don't believe anything did come from it. The guy who didn't send a gift was permabanned by myself - I'd welcome efforts to do a collection for him if someone would be interested.

Unfortunately, King Damager stepped down post the SS, if someone wants to bump the thread and organise something, I'd be happy to assist from a mod point of view

Do you cover the toilet seat with toilet paper so your precious botty doesn't make contact?
Or do you get about 20 sheets per wipe and have about 10 wipes?
I don't know how you get through one toilet roll a day.

No, I spread the poo all over the bathroom and then proceed to wipe it all off... Hence the higher than average usage of toilet paper per stool.

most likely a result of all the food you have been stealing from icelands bins

It's much like shark attacks, once a shark has established a source of food near the warm coast, his fellow sharks will too want in on that.

Buy a man a Venus and he can shave his legs for a day, buy him a blowtorch and he can strip paint for life.

I never understand how women go through so much TP. I swear they eat it.

It's one of life's mysteries. They probably gift wrap each stool and then wipe over and over again just to be sure.

Can I fan the flames and post my donation thread? I admit, I'm not the first person to rush to donate to some stranger's sob story, but there is no harm in trying to get some support.

tl;dr

My brother passed away on NYD and I'm taking his place on a charity bike ride from SF to LA.

Full marks for effort.

A request for donations in a thread complaining about donations breaks the internet

If you don't ask, you don't receive. If it bothers you so much, don't read them, I read them as i like to know what they for.
