How would you do it? Would you set up a new bank account?

I don't know. I'd have to talk to my bank and see the easiest way to do it. I've got this week off so no problem there. For the people sending via snail mail I'd set up a PO Box at the local post office, so no probs there either.

I have already posted on this forum and I am in. So is it confirmed that Gilly will act as collection don so to speak?

Nice one. Let us know how you get on or what you decide.

Great idea, only I dont have any money to donate even if i was able to lol . Now we'll see people on the forums faking illness to get money for a new pc, LOL.

i wouldnt put it past a few people to actually try that.

Although a possibility, I think your post is in incredibly bad taste and I endorse Pezboys post.

And they would fail. We've known about Zoltans cancer for a long time, there is absolutely no incentive for some idiot to try and scam the forums.

mg1973 · 5 Sep 2004 at 11:24

yes they would fail but like i said i wouldnt put it past a few morons to actually try and pull it off.

The other option if this doesn't work out is to make a donation to one of the cancer research charities.

Either way you can count me in.

After reading the other thread about Zoltan's news makes everybody else think about their own lives, even though I don't know Zoltan or had many dealings with Zoltan, It makes me think about things a lot more deeply than I normally would.

It really hits home.

I think Spie should be the money collecting man. Firstly if Gilly was it and was recieving large sums of money in the thousands of pounds he could become swayed...Lots of money or respect as a Don on an almost anonymous internet forum?

Secondly if Spie did a runner with the money then virtually everyone on this board would leave (I hope) and OcUK would lose a large amount of trade and I am sure theinquirer would hear about it and make a few news articles

Sorry to sound so distrusting

Gilly · 5 Sep 2004 at 13:17

Its nice to think someone believes we'd get thousands from a collection, I'm afraid I don't.

Secondly, and most importantly, do you honestly think that even if I were to have a hugely massive lack of scruples, which I'd like to think I don't, people don't know where I live? I know Spie does, I tell him where to send my stuff

Whether being sent to me or not, thats someone else's money and taking it would be tantamount to stealing. A crime.

I wouldn't be stupid enough to do it, even if I were inhumane enough to do it.

Dont be so negative mate. I think Gilly is too well known to just disapear. Have some faith man.

I imgaine Spie is probably a little too busy to deal with this. Im sure he has seen this and will be involved in one way shape or form. Giving is not about broadcasting what you give.

mg1973 · 5 Sep 2004 at 14:00

Gilly has got my trust and even with leeds financial troubles i dont think he`d run off with our "thousands" of pounds to help them out

Over Clocker · 5 Sep 2004 at 14:06

I'd deffo be in for this, and another vote for Gilly as collection man.

VirtualAdept · 5 Sep 2004 at 14:34

if I've got any money spare, I'm happy to stump up some... and I'm more than happy to let Gilly take the donations

Yas786 · 5 Sep 2004 at 14:41

I think it should definitely be Gilly, hes a man of his word and i have no doubt that he wouldnt do such a thing...

Geez some people in this forum..seriously if u havent got anything nice to say then i suggest you STFU and go away, we dont need people like u in here. Yeh you might its funny etc but i for one find it highly offensive and not needed.

Im still in and willing to donate a nice sum if needed
