What i have recieved so far has been posted. There should be some more donations in the mail that i havent recieved yet. As i recieve them they will be posted promptly.

I've been pondering this since you posted it...short of posting on a craigslist sort of site, or on other marijuana sites, I can't think of anything more that can be done.

I'm still thinking, but I just don't know.

Take care, boo,

1. IMHO, pg.net is one of the worst places to run a defense fund 'auction'. Might as well run it here, as after having a look over there @pg.net, it's all very, very disorganized.

2. Perhaps OJ can be given temp super mod powers to run this forum, and setup a few stickies, temp, which go off temp once the need is gone (ie. after an auction thread is finished). Smotty or smokes, not sure if they have the time to run such a forum, but someone needs to keep up on it.

3. Why isn't such an defense fund run from this site, rather than pg.net, where there seem to be even fewer members???

4. so what, you've got 10-20members who've donated, amounting to less than what the retainer the lawyer wants to represent OJ? And after that limited $3k amount is used up, as it could easily happen by the time the initial court appearance is scheduled (reason my opinion was it would be better to buy more time, but getting a continuance, even of just a few weeks...time is crucial/precious at this point).? If the need is for continuing funds, then you need to set up a bi-weekly or monthly charity drive, not necessarily in auction form only. It's like any other charity, post up some goals, need graphical representation.

5. Auction #2, is where on pg.net? I could not find it start/end dates-no idea what is up for auction either, the way that site is working.

6. Why does it need to have a quick end date?

7. Run it from *here*. Ask current members here, plenty of them are members in good standing over on TCC, even Guano/his other stealth handle; to PM other members over on TCC, link them here to this forum. What's the name of the 'elite' growers group over on TCC, I believe bigsur51 might be a member... Pacific Aire Growers Assoc...damn can't remember it now---be over a year since I visited that site, they pass on elite clones and other genetics. Maybe some of those members have something of higher value, they'd be willing to donate?

8. You need to get the word out to more people, bottom line.

9. Might be duplicating things, but even if you refuse to run the auction from here, you *should* make a duplicate list of what's up for auction, and post it *here*. Ya gotta spam a little (can't be any worse than JF's turbo posting :D, and unlike JF, it's only temporary ), that's marketing> ever seen PBS pledge drives on TV?

10. Put up a temporary full-size banner across the top of the index page, it's only temporary, but put in any deadlines/important dates...keep it in the minds of everyone, every time they visit the site...sheesh, no one here ever seen those super annoying 8sec/per ad; bright flashing LED billboards that are popping up all over Los Angeles, due to a stupid city council granting of absurd rights to big $$$ national billboard ad companies?
After a while, people are just going to ignore it, like I did, like I do most TV commercials.

As I stated before, there will be no sales or auctioning of seeds of any type for any reason on this server. While I understand OJ's situation is terrible, I am not willing to open smokes to the types of penalties associated with trafficking seeds.
