As you may already know, Chris aka Tibby01's family is having a rough time right now. Chris's little sister was killed in a car accident this week. We as a site would like to express our sympathy to them. I have talked to Redz and Majik and we agree that we should let everyone get involved and start up a donation. Money will be collected by Majik with his paypal account and he will purchase the item(s) and have them delivered. He will post up soon and let us know his PP address. BTW, do not mention this outside of this thread. I have setup a mask to keep Chris from seeing this.

I will also be donating at the end, depending on how much is needed to send him something nice. I'd like to close this within a few days and get something sent at the beginning of next week, so please let me know if you'll be sending some in and are waiting on funds to transfer so I can make sure you're added to the list and your money is included. I understand some may not be able to contribute anything, and that's fine. This is completely voluntary and I know Chris and his family will appreciate anything we do.

I'm asking for $5-10 for members who wish to participate. make sure to put your forum name on the comments, along with your real name. I will use all the money collected to order some sort of plant for Chris' family, possibly a peace lilly of some sorts. I'll probably order through FTD or 1-800-flowers as I have dozens of times in the past for both business and family purposes. I have sent a PM to Chris asking for his address

Cool beans! One problem... you can see this thread if your not signed in. So, he will be able to see it on his list of new threads when he first visits the site and isn't signed in yet. Maybe keep this masked and move it to the 18+ section?
