Shalom Aleichem!

Hi! I recently joined RW and noticed that I got added to a category of Jewish users when I added a Jewish userbox to my page. I wanted to say hello to my fellow (active) Jewish RWers. :) Quantumgeek333 (talk) 00:57, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Heya! It's been a while since I've been here. Does my heart good to see some new faces around. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Wow. Name I haven't seen for a while. Hi!Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 09:08, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Since you seem to have the means to take over paying server bills (if it still works)

Could you save the site more permanently for the time being, per SB discussion? --Goatspeed. _{How's my editing}CircularRasoning^{See my experiments} 21:42, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

If you mean, can I hold a fundraiser and transfer money between RationalWiki PayPal accounts and bank account, then yes. If you mean, do I have a spare $240 a month to pay RW's bills, then no. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 06:36, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Though, it's a question for the board really, and it would seem a good way to go. But I guess they are reading this.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 07:26, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Ah. I see it's being discussed in the bar.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 07:27, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Wait, hold on...

I was under the impression that Lord Soros is the one who is funding this entire enterprise. Could you not just get him to pay our wiki rent?

Also, if you're contacting him, can you ask him to buy me a PS5? Cheers. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 06:34, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you

For busting out of retirement to run the fundraiser to save this place. Though truth be told I'm not certain why you did. I'm sure you have many better things to do and that this weird little website from the past is probably very, very low on your list of adult responsibilities. Don't get me wrong Stabby, I have a fondness for the place; but if it DID suddenly get switched off, well... I'd live. I'd have work to go to, the rent to pay, books to read. And I'd be mildly disappointed that it was gone, because when I was younger it kind of had a bit of an influence on me. In a small way the words you and other long-time editors have written here shapes the way I think about the world around me. And losing that would be a bit sad, but fuck it. It's just a silly website, at the end of the day. Nothing anyone would shed a tear over. For every good article you'd read here, you could find one that's pretty trash; for every moment of camaraderie you'd glimpse on the talk pages, you'd see a moment of utter vitriolic garbage. So like I said, I have NO idea why you would even bother to save it.

But I'm glad you did. So thanks. For everything.

I hope the new year treats you well, Misanthrope. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 11:26, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Aww, you're welcome. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 20:08, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Any progress since last RMF meeting?

Hello. Three of us had another meeting earlier in April, though little came of it. We wondered, any progress with what you'd brought up in the meeting before that? Apart from that, another meeting is planned for May. You can read more on the Discord board. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 22:49, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Ah, sorry I missed that meeting. I forgot to put it in my calendar.

Unfortunately, Trent has still not responded to my email about reactivating the Foundation's Google email accounts. Without the official treasurer email, I have no way of knowing what the IRS's ruling of our nonprofit status is, or even logging into the Foundation's bank account! (I really hope it's just a matter of access to the email inbox. If the inbox itself has entirely ceased to exist, then the IRS ruling will have been delivered straight into the void, our nonprofit status forever in doubt because of it.)

I think the board should look into ways of removing Trent from the loop. I have had a couple of stints on the board years ago - and even then there were problems with important things not being signed or actioned by Trent. I understand that he has his own life to lead, but if he has lost interest in the project then he should relinquish his authorities.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 07:10, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Board meeting

The next Board meeting is 18 August at 1700 UTC on the Discord channel. We have an actually important topic this time, of which you are already aware. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 20:27, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Yeah. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 21:06, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Donation methods question

We have an old and a fresh comment on the fundraiser talk page about donating without PayPal. So I wonder, about the foundation's bank account, is it possible to list that for wire transfers on RationalWiki:Site support as another option (then that page could be linked in other places for alternatives). It would probably be used by a minority of donors, but still... --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 15:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
