EPTThat said, GL to Athene.
The fact that kellymilkies, who is an individual who lost the respect of most of the community for several reasons (poor casting being the least of them), is promoting this is also another "meh" factor imho.

Yes, off course they do a lot of good, but it's still a cry for attention from a guy that had infinite attempts at getting more attention. Of course it's much better than his usual shennanigans like his "I'm the best at starcraft 2 because I had Kiwikaki get my account to nr1 GM" and his "I made a video where I explain my discovery of secrets of universe and physics even tho I have no physics or math education". Also it dosent help that this is being posted by Kellymilkies who had a similar trackrecord of jumping on the gaming bandwagon that got her the most internet attention, right now this is it. I herd of this charity before, but I much rather donate directly to a cause that I think is worth it than being guilted by an internet attention seeker trying to kill him self by not eating. | ||

I know athene from wow, and he was trolling a lot back then, so I wouldn't trust him with $1,000,000. | ||

The OpSharecraft link just lets them keep track of donations related to the project, it doesn't mean that Athene ever has even the opportunity to touch the money. SaveTheChildren has confirmed this. | ||

Why not invest that million dollars into projects that actually have return, have the potential to create jobs, and have the potential to help everyone permanently rather than temporarily? | ||

Why expose a million dollars to bureaucratic inefficiency and corruption? Why not invest that million dollars into projects that actually have return, have the potential to create jobs, and have the potential to help everyone permanently rather than temporarily? Then give us a link to a project that does this, does so reliably, and of which we are certain it is not corrupted. Edit: Save The Children scores very high on reliability by the way. There are organisations who monitor other charity funds to see where the money goes, you can google it. | ||

I agree that sending money to Africa is like sending ice to the sun. Some of that money will end up in Athene's pocket, the guy is a selfish prick. (Yes, I hate how he acts and how he is). Anyways, I'll enjoy the warning / temp ban. User was temp banned for this post. | ||
