I'm kinda glad this was brought to light. I bit my tongue on this before. I donated to the original surgery thread, then after that I was notified through go fund me another fundraiser had been set up, then the Homeless thread came up.

Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that PIMKing is going through hard times, however, CP is a weirdly generous, and affluent online community. The 1%er thing as much of an in-joke as it is, holds a lot of water. Some of the credit apps I have done off this site are rather impressive.

My issue is, if PIMKing is struggling so much, perhaps he should be looking at proper social assistance, instead of relying on the generosity of this community. I think we have enabled an easy teet to suckle off by immediately rushing to aid with cash.

edit: The account no longer active avatar now showing up in his profile says a lot to me, as opposed to addressing this.
