What if I sent you $50 but you didn't know it was from me?
Then would you still thank me?

Now you see my point, and that's why I phrased carefully what I said in my post to Tala. Plus I know Tala, she's a good person, and everyone will interpret this thread differently.

Too bad other people weren't so careful with words nor as thoughtful.

but I do appreciate your thoughtfulness Krille, lol ;)

This is the reason why i would never give money to these GFY pan handlers. 99% of them are full of shit and take advantage of people on this board.

I still shake my head at how someone could fork over $1000.00 to some goon they dont even know, let alone on a message board called gofuckyourself.

These Internet hobo's that beg for money on this board should be banned. Hell im all for charity but to the right places...not to line the pockets of some 2bit scam artists that preys on webmasters.

It pays to be female :thumbsup (note: i am not female).

It seems like there have been more charitys in the last year than in all 3 years before that.

Wonder why :glugglug

Generous trusting GFY'ers helped save my friend MuleScrote's uncles life.

I'll continue to donate to anyone who posts here and i feel i can help them - provided i have slight evidence from other posters of their legitimacy.

there are two points of view ...

#1 ... dont be a sucker - i consider this stupid. If youre such a pimp webmaster making money, and can afford to help someone, why wouldnt you? I think 99% of the people on this board work at CompUSA 9-5 and just plain dont have jack shit to give except lip service.

#2 ... give what you can - i always will because in the end, i know i potentially helped someone ... and if there is any controversy over the issue i dont give a fuck. I only have to look at myself in the mirror.

so, either be a cynical miserable fuck, or give blood, help people, try to do unto others, contribute to society.

People do seem to forget that Tala didn't originally ask for the money at all.. She was already in the hospital at the time. Brad was being kind and trying to help her out. Heh. It's like playing telephone, nobody seems to get the story straight after it filters through the first few people.. heh.

HONEY, I can't even tell you how much I feel your pain on this one. I have so been there and done this and I can tell you, it didn't bode well for me either. THANK GOD, mine wasn't public the way yours is here, but I can tell you, I had some VERY serious goings on behind my back on it. I INTENTIONALLY did not hold one dime of the money I raised, and I raised a LOT.... almost $10k for this situation and I later found out it wasn't even CLOSE to being used on what I raised it for...... I have never felt so shitty in my life over anything and still haven't to this very damn day!

That 10K was what was PAID, which was a little over HALF of what was pledged, some of the things auctioned wasn't paid for and so on, but the money wasn't ever held by me and I STILL had fingers, BIG one, pointing at me on it.

And the pathetic part of MY situation? There was partying going on in Vegas, which I DID NOT attend that year because I, myself didn't have the money to even go, but the one we raised it for was damn well there AND came back fucking bragging about how much fun they had while they were there!!

I know all too well how you feel on this situation, not that both are the same, but same principal...... and I applaud you for putting yourself out to help someone like this. But man, I can so feel your pain on not ever wanting to do it again. This was like 3 or 4 years ago and I've not done it since and won't.

BRAVO to you for lending a helping hand.

Tala and Tootie, I don't know either of you from Adam, except what I have read on this board, but when people lend a hand, don't bite it.... that's SOOOOO not cool of either of you to do. You can hate me for saying this all you want, but I have been where Brad is and it hurts to know you stick your neck out for someone and they lay your head on a chopping block over it.

If you didn't get all the money you needed, you use your local resources, if you are too proud to do that, then shame on you, learn to use your resources and help yourself and don't come screaming at the very people who offered and gave you help. I have been in some pretty nasty struggles myself and am STILL not over this last one yet, but instead of whining about it to no bitter end, I use what I have at hand and the resources I have to get thru it.

Sorry to rant, but this one just hit WAY too damn close to home for me. :(

This thread's just too good to let go. :glugglug

You know that when you responded you bumped it right? :1orglaugh












whoops .... Me Bad... I just did it too....

I've practically bitten mine off. In fact, I need emergency tongue surgery. Donations, anyone?

:1orglaugh

Stop beating dead horses.

I need money.. please give me

i cant read this whole thing.
cliff notes?

1. gfy stupids donated Tala a ton of money

2. Tala fucked everyone over and ran off

uhhhhhhhhhhh, ok

Interesting thread. Someone save me the reading - How did 'Tala' fuck the people over who donated to her?

she said she needed it for a surgery

blamed brad for not giving the money to her completly (it was 3times the money needed)


she ran away

bump for her

Tala was a real life troll.

Whats the reason for this bump? Is this person back or something?

What every happened to Tootie? I always thought she was a guy lol

What ever happened to most of the posters in this thread?

i guess they didn't adapt.. so they're all dead by gfy's logic

Didn't she flake out permanently a few years ago, while people were still waiting for work to be completed?

hope this gets fixed

Yes, that is my recollection of tootie.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I take it you were not around for the GFY Secret Santa debacle.

Same here about tootie and that Secret Santa thing was a mess that I'm glad I wasn't in.

LOL my thoughts exactly. :1orglaugh
