    Any which way that works for us living outside the U.S. Paypal, VISA or simply sending money to a bank account. A donate button on the AGD website would work as well. If there is a concern over not raising enough, and having the hassle of refunding, why not simply quote the sum we're aiming for, and extend the poll here on A.O with sums people are willing to pledge. In my mind the vast majority on this site are responsible adults, whom we can expect to own up to their pledge, right?

      if you do that and everyone knows what everyone else is pledging then this will turn ugly fast imagine this:

      Person 1 will pledge 200$
      Person 2 will pledge 10$
      Person 3 will pledge 100$
      Person 3 will pledge 50$
      Person 5 will pledge 500$
      Person 6 will pledge 5$

      I'll be the first to admit that I'm poor and wont be able to donate alot... but Lets say I donated 5$ and someone else dontated 200$.... like it or not that person will be the better person in eeryones eyes. you may deny it but it will happen

        If this is the chosen method, then please provide address.
        And as far as canceling check, I would be fine if you just ripped them up.

              this is probably the best way to do it

                    everyone's situation is different. if people can and want to give, do it. whether it be a large or small amount, something is better than nothing. if anyone is looked at differently for not donating as much as someone else, that's pretty messed up.

                        Ah, the joys of centralization. The power grabs, the jockeying for status. We'll eventually look back upon these times, laugh uncomfortably, and then change the subject.

                        Might want to see if indiegogo will let you do it.

                        Definitely not on the A-Team.

                          It looks like Indigogo may allow us to do this. Tom, can you check this out?

                              We're all on Facebook. Not sure how many would consider putting $ in, but I can raise the topic.

                                It looks like indiegogo will let us do a campaign. Before I start it we need to see a bit more momentum than a few people.
