I'll throw in a British made leather "gizmo" to the pot too
This can be either an M1907 sling, a hand-made belt, knife scabbard, leather ammo slider, dog leash/collar set, etc. Basically, the winner can choose something from my website (I make it all to order, so no real issue on what the winner decides on. Equivalent cash value of around $100 - give or take.) |

While we're waiting, let's make fun of whiskers. I deserve this. I'm adding a second prize of a box of 9mm tracers for my failure. The government hates that, right? |

I'm in when link is fixed.
ETA: I'll gladly send it PayPal if need be since it seems GoFundMe is slamming the brakes on this. |

Is GoFundYourself sabotaging this because of gun stuff being involved?
I just looked and they said link is not active or something to that effect. |

Hey guys,
first off, thank you for being awesome. Seeriously. I’d have responded sooner but between doc visits and the not feeling well, I’ve been away from my phone for most of the afternoon. I got got an email from gofundme saying that (somehow or another l they found out) that there is a raffle tied to this, so they are locking it. I’ll be getting in touch with their CS guys but it’ll likely be a few days. Will screenshot email below momentarily. Attached File Attached File |

I don't care about the raffle but some 9 mm tracers would be sweet.
|

Okay. Need some time to regroup.
GoFundMe shut it down because they deemed it a raffle. Looking into how this will impact donations already received, and also options for reviving. Standby arfcom. |

Hey Dan, let me know when its working..moneys tight but I will send something...

So I'm finally at my computer, sorry for the delay guys. Let's just say my stomach and I are disagreeing today.
It looks like someone made a comment about the raffle in their donation, so it automatically locked it down. I can't edit comments on donations either, so I'm having to see what I can do. If you are the user with the initials P.D. if you can edit the text on your side to remove that, it would be awesome. Seriously though, I really don't know what to say. Thank you guys. Ask Whiskers, when he came to me about this, I wasn't exactly the most receptive, but he's good people and made me see reason. |

As stated in the OP, this guy lives his life without asking. Updating the OP to hopefully prevent further issues. |

Bear with us, trying to find a fix and hoping GoFundMe gets back in touch.
I emailed their tech guys stating that I can't access where they want me to fix, so we'll see what happens. (They say to edit a comment, but since it's part of a donation, I have no access to it) So it looks like it might have to be the member who made the comment who has to edit it. |

Fuckin' people man. Why? FFS leave any notes or comments when doing such things BLANK. Not hard. I have the same issue when taking PayPal Gift as payment. I mean, kudos to whoever it was for donating and all but come on... View Quote |

snip Like I said, good on the guy for donating but I feel like things such as that should be a well known no-no at this point. |

In for when it gets sorted out
I wonder if they flagged it due to all the last names of ARFCOM? |

Sent back until this gets sorted out. Sorry for the mess. View Quote Thank you for writing to our team today about this. I've forwarded your message to our Community Management Team, and they’ll follow up with you directly. To ensure that each campaign receives the time and attention it deserves, please allow 24 hours for them to respond. In the meantime, if you received a separate email from them, please make sure you have addressed the points they mentioned. If you could please also clarify the context of the donations on your campaign - where the campaign has been shared online and why the donors aren't using real names - I'm sure that would help with their review process. Thank you so much for your patience. >>>Reply below. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, and if/when I hear from them I'll respond pretty quickly. So far, the campaign has only been shared on a single forum, as I was waiting to share it on facebook after it went live on the forum. It was going to get posted on facebook and a few other sites tonight, but I didn't get there before the issue was found. The donor names are usernames for the only forum post so far, that way they can donate without using their real names, should they want. That way we can still see who donated. If something different is required, I can ask they do so. |

How about members whom donate $20+ just screen shot as opposed to any mention of arfcom or anything else on the GF link. Basically keeping GF and arfcom separate.
|
|
So as it sits now, things may get refunded, or they'll unlock the account. No idea one way or another.

Just say when. Someone shoot me a pm when the page is back up please.

Crossing my fingers for news in the morning, but it might take a few days.
I did start getting together everything that Whiskers (begrudgingly) is letting me add to this though. 5x sets of 4x6 prints (just your common amazon stuff) and 2 of each, 8x12 photos on Alise art paper. Since they can’t fold for shipping, the frame is just for protection in shipping. I’d prefer something better, but man, frames are expensive. Once I'm back on my feet, I'll be giving away some nicely matted and framed prints though. Might take a few more years, but I've got a lot to repay to the guys here. Seriously, than you all. Money will be going towards fixing my truck, plane tickets and taxi to/from my disability hearing (possibly twice if the lawyer flakes and I have to get an extension), paying bills, and if there is anything leftover, finishing my Arfcom rifle, and stuff like that.
