So those that donated anonymously must now out themselves if they have questions? Okay, four months ago I donated 20 dollars. I'm now allowed to question this GoFundMe.

If fact someone donated 55 bucks in my honour, so I now have a premium opinion and it must be highlighted on every page I post.

I get that you feel like you have some sort of right to accuse people of anything and not be accountable for that. And that you enjoy taking posters down.
Apart from that what is silly about it?
And I get that you like to turn everything into some diabolical personal attack, but sometimes a duck is a duck and sometimes people calling out sketchy behaviour is just people calling out sketchy behaviour.

You don't have to be directly involved, or an owner of the site, to point this out, which is what you intimated, and which is silly.

In fact the GoFundMe had a lot of named or anonymous donations, you nor anyone know the full list and there usernames. There could easily be people who've donated, are openly questioning it, but not saying anything. You've put a group of people in a box to dismiss their criticisms.

so yeah, I guess kind of silly.

The only reason this isn't buried on the last pages is because people have been asking questions. flamesGimp only gave "updates" when pressured.
There's nothing wrong with questioning things, however some here seem to think..."He's a scammer! He's dishonest! He's a degenerate. Tried and convicted!". Forget about waiting for the truth to come out, we'll just get our own judge and jury

I have no idea who donated and who hasn't. Anyone who has donated, anonymously, has every right to question.

Actually, anyone has a right to question.

Anonymity would be my guess.

No disrespect but you two are creating more and/or adding to the drama with posts like these.

Stirring things up by continuously bringing up the fact that the guy who took money from people on the site is changing his story, giving excuses, ducking questions and is now kind of M.I.A.

Clearly we are a plague on this site.

The lack of perspective is comical.

Apologies. I'll let you return to treating people on this site like garbage.

At this point I’d say FGs attacks look equally silly if not more, he called Pres out and played the victim card citing his personal well being etc. I think Minny posted a good rebuttal on the matter a few pages later.

Has anyone contacted the Skinz guy on instragram and followed up to see if it’s even legit? That may be a good start. Lots of people here defending FG but there’s no excuse that a “playoff wagon” is still up in the air as we approach the 2023 season lol…

The list of excuses/reasons/coincidences whatever you feel like calling them is so long now it’s beyond comical.

Just don’t agree with the bashing of anyone who doubts the legitimacy of this thread at this point honestly, wether or not they donated doesn’t much matter as a scam is a scam.

Could still turn out but the longer this goes on the worse it looks.

So what? If he is, in fact, severely disabled (and I do believe that he is), perhaps, this could have been a bit too much for him to handle. Maybe he was overwhelmed? Maybe, the costs were much higher and he felt embarrassed spending the received money on design or deposit and not having any left to refund? I hope this is not the case, but what if it was? Killer_carlson, who has donated, said it best earlier - "it's fine, whatever". Why do you always assume the worst in people and appoint yourself as police, judge and jury?

P.S. Btw, FG did not initiate the gofundme request. Someone else suggested it and the idea took off.

Why do that when it's easier to chase a member off this site.

I nominate FormerPresJamesTaylor to make the enquires.
