droidxcon needs our help!!!!!

[jampot]

Thanks for posting this. Danny has been an invaluable help and he totally deserves the donations. My phone kicks butt, mainly because he (and others of you, too!) told me exactly what to do. I wholly support donating to this cause. I'm totally reward driven For those who agree that rewards should be earned...

Danny has more than earned it!

Shaking my head........

With all the things going on in the world today, it really ticks me off to no end when people lash out and it is totally uncalled for. Alot of us, Im tempted to say all of us,at one time or another, on the Fascinate forums have truly benefited from Droidxcons knowledge, help, patience, and guidance. Gunner took the intiative to just throw it out there that if we all donated we could hopefully get an amount that would allow for a replacement Fascinate. With the lack of help from Verizon and Samsung, he and the dev community here are all we have left to help us explore our phones and to utilize them to the full potential. Without a fascinate, he is like a carpenter without tools, a teacher without books, and so on and so forth.
This is everyones forum, I understand and respect that. I respect peoples priorities and choices. With that said, please respect those who work hard, enjoy this forum, and want to donate so they can play even harder on their Fascinate. And one last thing, PLEASE, dont throw comments out about lack of job and where YOU feel money should really be donated. I could care less if this wonderful dev community were the seven dwarfs behind the screen names. We all have a common link here, our fascinates and fascination for them(smile, adjusting pocket protector). They are respectful and helpful to us and they deserve that same respect in return.
Ok Im done venting about this, time to go get rid of this Verizon Froyo and bathe in some SUPAH CLEAN!!! Thanks to you all!!!!!!

Gunner I copied and pasted the OP over on his ODIN Package Sticky...Was just going to linkback, but didn't think people would want to read through this thread, which unfortunately was half filled with a thunderbolter in the Fascinate forums who doesn't feel this is necessary....still wondering about that..

 

[Chrisy]

Yeah, I wasn't lashing out. Like I said I clicked on the link because I was willing to give a few bucks if the kid needed food or medical or shelter.

Not a phone. Just my opinion, like you all have yours. Just seems strange to ask for money for a smartphone to me. No big deal. I can give him a basic flip phone free if he wants it. It does work fine.

I'm sure he'll get it soon and all will be cool. No need to get upset. Doesn't matter what I think about it to the ones that are donating.

I'm just thinking that if people complain about this, the next set of Superclean ROM's or the next Cyanogenmod that comes out, the devs should charge like $5 for it, and to be honest with you, I'm okay paying that. Great job fellas!

That's the main point...what these guys do for folks here is something they could easily get paid to do in some way. They do it because they like to and simply want to help others, and ask for nothing in return. Not much of that going on around the world these days. I wouldn't know anybody on this forum if they ran into me and swyped my Fascinate right outta my hand. And I do not mess with rooting or ROMS or anything. But I've learned an awful lot from reading what folks here have to say, and it's all out of their simple willingness to help others. Pretty cool in my book. And worth my $5.

thanks gunnermike for putting this out there.this is definetly long over due.i support the cause.good luck DXC!MOST of us appreciate your hard work...hope$10 helps

I have a good job and I would have a hard time replacing a device at full retail. Danny has helped pretty much everyone on this site at one point or another. He isn't asking for help, this is just so he can keep working on the fascinate. If he has one to keep working on he will, otherwise he will move on to the next Sammy device on VZW.

 

[jackmei2]

is this so he can continue to support the community or so that he has a phone? or both?? cuz I thought he had the tbolt? Droidxcon is definitely a great asset to the fascinate community, so I hope he's not fallen on hard times

I see no distinction between this and a dev having a donation link in their signature (which is allowed). Carry on

 

[adamklo]

I'm good for a sawbuck.

dxc has been super helpful and had the patience of a saint with me and my idiot questions.

 

[OHSteel]

I made a donation to him a few days ago for the help he has given me and others on the past. Will donate again when I have it. Find it hard to believe people would complain about this thread. He does so much for so many and asks for nothing in return. I hope the poor attitude of a few do not spoil things for the majority that appreciate what he does here everyday.

 

[paremall]

Done. If I don't soon get my computer to recognize my phone he can have mine. LOL

 

[anon(94115)]

Mike, thaks for starting the thread, I am gonna kick in some of my beer money when I get home.

It is well worth it. If he got 1 buck for everytime he saved someone aroumd here, he could get a golden one!

IMHO, best 10 that I have spent in awhile

[curley]
