€150 (so far) for me to change my nick. 150 quid that would make sick kids happier this christmas. Bit of a no brainer really.

Frankly I'm overwhelmed that people would donate money just to make me look a little sillier. But that's boards for you. It makes me wonder what other parts of amp I can sell to generate more even more money for SSF.

If any wealthy users/companies are reading this, I'll happily sell space in my sig for links to your websites if you donate large amounts to SSF. I'll even change my avatar/tag to the highest bidder.

I've seen the result of last years SSF. It brought happiness to a lot of sick kids who have done nothing wrong. That there are people out there that care and are willing to actually do something about it makes me smile.

By the way, SSF goes large next week. I havent been slack but SSF is like a rollercoaster, once you get on and pull down those restraints, its pretty much a ride that I only claim, unconvincingly, to have any control over. Preparation is the key and I need to give the structure some more head time.

The whole thing is really rather daunting too though SOO many people have offered assistance at this point that it is a full time job JUST coordinating the assistance on offer!

Hold out for 200 Amp, dont sell yourself cheap!

What therecklessone said.

As regards what total that the name change occurs. I think €500 is a reasonable amount to aim for between now and Xmas. So get pledging.

I will of course give pos rep to all who pledge.

Therefore, I have donated a tenner to this cause and IT WILL HAPPEN!

Brilliant. Somebody please +rep this, I can't give any more out today...

Update:

Total is now €191 after €20 pledge from oscarBravo and €10 from damien.m.

Gordon's done his bit also, fair play.

agent smith has offered €20 total for an avatar/tagline combo (you did, didn't you?), anyone willing to top that?

Cool that brings the total so far to Just over €200. The quicker the cash is pledged the longer Pam/Amp has to suffer so spread the word people.

Pledges can be honoured Using Paypal or the Santa Strikeforce Bank account further details available HERE.
