It's that time again, where Wikipedia puts big banners up asking people to donate.

Have you ever donated to Wikipedia or any other non-profit website?

Wikipedia once or twice. Mozilla once.

Never, and I always feel slightly bad about it.

I do donate to other charities, though.

I've donated 9 years of my life to this site and I intend to donate another 9. :bigsmile:

Provided no one ask me for facebook again. :mymelbert:

That's what your ex-girlfriend told me. And that hooker down the alley who you used to patronize.

I couldn't help it. She was just so dumb.

I call 'youtube' 'youtoob'

At first years ago, it was an accident, and then an ex girlfriend said it was annoying, so I have called it that ever since :greenie:

Maybe if they ever need a donation I will donate to them!

I sometimes donate to small sites and open source projects.

Wikipedia - eh, they're big enough that they really shouldn't need donations from individuals imo. Other free services of their size find ways to make billions.

For some reason I'm more likely to give my money to people who make terrible food for high prices than to people who provide a remarkable service for free. So no, I haven't donated to Wikipedia. :cry:
