[TheForge] Crowdsourcing Question

[Paul Sperbeck]

On one hand, part of me always feels you are free  to ask anything, the
other part wonders why...

I don't ever remember someone asking to have others fund the
construction of a shop before.

If there are extenuating circumstances contributions might be in order,
and perhaps the 'crowd-sourcing folks at kickstarter might help out, but
I have watched many pay to play kickstarter requests go down in flames.

So personally, I could care less if you ask, it doesn't look like
anything I would be inclined to fund. Have you asked your instructor or
other students about this subject?

Please don't look at this as a flame so much as a complete inability to
connect with your mindset...
