PAY IT FORWARD
« on: Wed, 09 September 2015, 09:29:06 »
hey guys

tomorrow i am sending 10 packages out to 10 random users (well kinda random, people i have addresses for, which is a pretty huge amount with ctrl alt)



each package contains a little something, ranging from a bro cap to a keyboard to keychains, all kindsa bits really

inside each package will be a little note from me, saying pay it forward

these packages are totally unsolicited, so nobody is under any obligation to play along, so if you choose not to continue the chain, please enjoy your gift

if however you would like to play along, please send a little something to one to three more users, with a little note saying pay it forward within the package

i am starting by sending 10 out in the hopes its enough to get this going

please feel free to use this thread as a hub, to post pics etc, and if anyone would like to send packages anonymously, and dont have addresses for certain users, please contact me and ill see what i can do

thanks

Once again Bunny showing why your a legend, we still have to sort out that pint!

But, could I abstain from this please? I know it's random but you have my details (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) and I can't afford to do much of anything right now and would feel super guilty if anything arrived!

Soooooo MUCH YESSSSSSSSSSSS love it bunny. Seriously this could save someone's life !!! Imagine some keyboard fanatic so depressed and down decides this is the day I'm gong to kill myself. Poor bastard thinks huh nobody sends me anything but bills so for that extra little bit of depression why don't I go check the mail before I hang myself. Finds package from bunny in the mail with brocap and ctrl alt swag with a note saying PAY IT FORWARD and realizes that life is worth living  :)) it could happen


On a serious note love the idea and very down to participate  :p

I think the point is that he doesn't want to be paid back. People paying it forward is reward enough.

I mean beyond this. You know? Like in the more ethereal sense...kind of like we should all try to be less salty and more community minded as a way of "giving back". Beyond the actual paying it forward.

I agree.  I for one really hope this works well and people don't just stop the chain.  A huge part of this hobby is the sharing of the things that you enjoy. 

On a side note, what ever happened to the crowdsource keyset from a couple years back?

That's a bummer.  I thought it was a lot of fun to see what people were adding to the mix.  Not to mention, that would have been one hideous looking board.   ;D
