Why don't you donate your money to something worth donating to. You know like the people who are starving around the world. So why did you buy Starcraft instead of donating to the poor then? Same thing. Logic fail. Assumption fail. Total fail. Assuming you bought sc2 since you're reading a forum called "Starcraft 2" is fail?
Is your brain so small that it can't consider the possibility of doing both? Or is it the assumptions you make to try to further your juvenile post? Also since when is this a sc2 website, I'm pretty sure when I came here there wasn't such thing as this silly thing you call sc2. This doesn't even belong in this forum or possibly anywhere on this forum.

Well, i donated 10$ which isn't much but, atleast it is better than nothing!
Much love to Day9, you're doing hell of a job to the community!

So you are not working with day[9] on this... seems kinda like a bad idea. I really wish I saw day[9]'s approval.

No offence to Day9 or his show or anyone else but if he is asking for donations then I would prefer if he made a post himself.
Also I would like to know exactly why he needs the cash, there are other streamers too and they all run their streams themselves, some do advertising etc. but I have never seen another streamer make a post asking for cash.

Is this via paypal? If you want to get a large donation drive like this, it might be a problem with how large his cashflow's going to be...

$15 is about 10 pounds, which is the cost of a few beers or a meal at a cheap restaurant.
Yeah I know that much but people usually donate £2/3 a time or less to major charities over here so £10 is huge for 1 individual.

If you want to donate to day9 go ahead and do it, I'm not sure if it's right to make a public spectacle out of it like this without his consent

Actually, it's quite intentional, since if he were involved it might run afoul of Teamliquid's rules on self-promotion.
However, he has in the past made very clear in the post on here and on his youtube page (see my original post) that donations at that Paypal address are quite welcome.

No it isn't, the last time people asked for donations here things went sour. I think this will rub some people wrong including me.

He's in no way involved in this, it's entirely on me, for better or worse, as I stated in my original post.
Edit: Once again, if the moderators or Day[9] consider this inappropriate, I'm most happy for them to take my original post down, ask me to edit it, or whatever.

Sean is awesome and if anyone deserves a few bucks in this community, it is him. The stuff he does is just ridiculously good. Donating to him is essentially the same as throwing money to the development of the community.

TeamLiquid's rules are not equal for everyone. If you are a great contributor to the community, you have much more flexibility with the rules. Often, Sean is THE great contributor (although we have a lot of other awesome contributors obviously). I'm sure he could make a donation thread if he wanted to, TL appreciates the fuck out of him. :D

wasn't day[9] talking about flying to Germany for the ESL or whatever? he might not be able to reply approving or disapproving this...

People who doesn't care about the donations or doesn't approve with it, should stop bitching about it.
Those who can and are willing to donate do so. choboPEon said it all why day9 deserves some donations, and who knows if this money will be the next prize pool of some huge SC2 Tournament. Always worth a couple of bucks.

Sorry, donation threads on TL need to be approved by staff before they are allowed. We'll discuss this in staff and get back to you guys on it.

Additionally, I feel that we need 100% need to know Day's opinion on this before such a thread is even talked about.
