1200 Donations! Thank you DU!

[Skinner]

We have reached our fundraising goal in record time, completing this quarter's drive in less than three days. This was by far the fastest DU fundraising effort ever, and we have been blown away by your generosity. We recently purchased expensive server upgrades (our monthly web hosting costs have more than doubled) so this fundraising feat is even more remarkable because we increased our goal to 1,200 donations this quarter.

While the fund drive is officially over, we understand that there are plenty of people with valentine hearts to give out, and there may be some people who still wish to purchase them for their friends. With this in mind:

• You can still purchase hearts until 10 PM ET tonight.
  
• If you have purchased hearts before 10 PM ET, you can still give them out until the end of the promotion at 5am ET tomorrow morning (Thursday Feb. 16).
  
• At 5AM ET, all the hearts will disappear.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated during this fund drive - your generosity ensures that DU will continue to grow and thrive. Here's one last heart for all of you!

22. This Was Great Fun, Skinner

My favorite part was how some DUers were initially put off by the 'popularity contest' aspect and so went spreading hearts around as widely as possible. Neat trick, that :)


You know, Mardi Gras is coming ...
