Title: Amizilla Gets Another Huge Donation!! UPDATED BOOTY $8411.22
Post by: Calen on December 20, 2003, 03:05:05 PM

Just got word from Bill "Pyromania" Panagouleas that the Amizilla Booty has got Another huge boost from this former Netscape Executive. What a guy!

The former Netscape Executive changed his mind about donating $2000, now instead he wanted to match the original booty amount before his bid ($4205.61). Now because of his revised donation the booty is over $8400. His only request is that he wants to see the amount get over $10,000 so is requesting others donate what they can. He has done more than his share for sure. $10,000 is a good idea and a nice milestone to aim for but AmiZilla will need your help to get there.

A big thanks to this unnamed former Netscape Executive, $10k now seems well within reach.  Visit the AmiZilla project page (http://www.discreetfx.com/AmiZilla.html) to donate! Let's get this puppy over $10,000!

Perhaps this news section item and the posts in the same forum thread should be merged.

Sorry, they can't. That the way it works. Though it would be nice if people would only submit news and not also post it in the forums. Have some patience and it will he posted by the admins.

I do have to say that this is great news. Though any donating I do that's not local will have to wait til after the holidays.

That was my polite way of wondering why it is in both places ; }

Great Job to Bill Panagouleas and thanks to the former Netscape executive.

The AmiZilla program has been quite successful in raising money, and I think developers can reasonably expect it will reach the 10,000 amount.

I won't trivialized the difficulty in doing the port, but I look forward to a day when the goal is achieved.

It was Very much an afterthought to submit it as news given the first Amizilla news item was with less than 48 hours previous, but thought what the hell, it's big news which is all  good and deserves a place in both :-)
