Just got an Amazon gift today: bash Pocket Reference.

This was the note on it

"You helped me remember the kanji, I thought I'd help you remember bash."

Thank you C.W.!

Dear friends of the Japanese language - be kind to your GOD and donate a few Euros...

Let IceCream be your guide, €2.34 is all you need...

I'm glad my little post has ignited a fire storm of interest.  Whats the total now?

it sure has!

The total can be seen in the first post. I always update there.

Right now it stands at:
€757.34 / $1004.23 / £645.14 / 84,262円

That would be grand, Fabrice!

I'm not sure how you can show me ppl have donated, m/b emails from from paypal

I posted a few donations in here that came soon after the thread started because I didn't know if the donors did see this topic. But otherwise nearly all donations that came after truando started this thread were confirmed here by the respective donors.

If that's ok with you both, I could post a little something on the site news Friday to help reach the finish line   I know there are quite a few users who don't visit the forum, or not very often. I didn't want to post earlier because truando started it, but now he's reached the target and some more . What do you think?

getting out the news is good, lol i put out the challenge in hopes that it will be reached.  So the more information the better.

Point is, if you can get 50 people (or more!) to donate this month, that would be a great achievement already.

I don't think we can gather 50 donations. [long explanation of why it's not possible]

Quoted from p1 of this thread.  Fabrice is wrong.  I know we're all donating him money, myself included.  Now it's your turn to be humble for once Fabrice.  Admit defeat!  Note: The number of Individual donations may not yet have reached 50, but it's got to be darn close.

I did receive close to 450 € one month...

Well this month, you have already received 700+ Euro; it could be more depending on how generous people are feeling.

1. They feel generous and/or 2. They're motivated to reach the "goals," which leads me to... 3. They fall victim to truando's smooth-talk

Yay, kame3! One big step closer to the goal of $850!

Dear brothers and sisters in Kangee

This is history! We're close to getting €1000 in an internet forum.

Please donate to make this happen! There were 45 donations so far. Thank you!

€12 - A really small donation, dare I say, if compared with the contribution of this site to my Japanese studies.
Thanks again, Fabrice.

25€ in the coffee 'kitty' and Joyeux Noël Fabrice!

Thanks to kame3 I'm now aware of the possibility to donate by European Bank Transfer and put it to good use. This site and its community has helped me a lot with my Japanese studies, so I'm happy that truando's and Nuriko's constant nagging pushed me from the "Some time in the future I'll donate some money." to the "What the heck... now or never!".

I wish you all a Merry Christmas

Hey! I did in my long winded post few pages earlier!

He's good, huh. Frighteningly good, hehe.

But this thread made me check the donations page again and I saw that European Bank Transfer has been made a possibility.

Thank you! That's good to hear because I updated the donate page about a month ago. I reduced text a little, and outlined the bank transfer option with a clear link to the contact page. It was there before, but not not made clear at all. A good lesson learned. I did notice there were more requests for bank transfers, even before this donation raise started. Before the donation page update I used to get a wire transfer request about once a month. Clearly, for people in European countries it is a good option. If you have "online banking" it can be even easier to use than PayPal, and no need for credit card.

Thank you kame3, ahuvia and Biene!

@truando: I was gonna say, round it up or down, not a big deal; but it would be funny if someone sees this and adds the 66 cents

PS: received a 20 € PayPal donation from J.B. yesterday, after IceCream, and before ahuvia's.

21 $$$$$$$ ≈ 15 measly €

An unbelievably minuscule amount for such an amazing site. Will augment my donation when I return to the real world.

Nice! What with the 'wulfgar challenge' and all, I figured we could reach this quite some time before the 31st. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

So I guess as soon as Fabrice confirms this, all of wulfgar's money are belong to him?
