That's pretty darn good in less than 24 hours. Even if you don't like the heart thingy, it's still a good way to bring in the cash. It's not just 350 $5 heart donations, either. Just my opinion. I'll shut up now.

Great idea from the admins -- lots of people are having fun with it and the donations are really adding up. :hi:

2. I know - this must be the fastest fund drive ever
the hearts thing certainly made me donate more than I would otherwise have done.

3. IIRR, the last fundraiser made it to the goal by ...
Wed or Thurs. I remember others that took all week to get there. It is a very clever way to get the $$$ in the coffers, but I miss Grovelbot. :cry:

4. Oh yeah, I donated twice to have more hearts to give out.
And this thing has me so much in the Valentine's Day spirit I'm thinking about going out and buying some of those silly grade school valentines and giving them all to my coworkers anonymously tomorrow. Just because!

6. Anyone doing the hearts in GD? I knew it would be a big hit here in the
Lounge, but figured it would be met with suspicion and/or hostility in GD. As almost anything is met there. Redstone

At least at the beginning. But look how it cheers people up when they get one! Everyone does indeed want to be liked. Redstone

12. Yes. I'm well caught up on stars, so I was not hugely motivated
until I received some hearts and decided that it would be nice to reciprocate. Besides, it's fun to give a heart to someone who doesn't have one, and to imagine them smiling as they get their PM.

17. You should be able to click a link at the bottome of your recipients'
posts to give them hearts.

I'm a college student, so I can only afford $5, but I'll put in what I can.
