I was going to post this in suggestions, but I'm banned from that for God-knows-what. Way to go.
Hello there, I am a stupid user of 4chan. I frequent your /b/, and I enjoy it. Recently, while browsing /b/, I have noticed that your donation-cat will vary in size, shape, dimension, and so forth, with humorous consequences. I also know that /b/ is one of the most popular sections of 4chan. It seems to me that it is a bad business practice to unprofessionally misrepresent the donated sum on what is one of the most popular sections of your website, even when that section is all about randomness and lol nihilism. You might reply that any idiot user who had lost faith in the reality of your bookeeping could check the other boards to inspect the true value of the donated amount, but this would miss the grand point: the sort of people whom you are necessarily soliciting for money are not that smart. It is not good business practice (particularly when you are soliciting donations) to in any way confuse, insult, or challenge the feeble intellect of any possible benefactor, even (and perhasps especially) when it's /b/. In short, if ever you should entertain the slightest real hope of keeping this website going, you might acquaint yourselves with a few cold, harsh, stupid business realities. Your task is to appeal to me, the average, stupid, 4chan user, no matter what. You might also entertain the notion of hiring someone who can write clear, unambiguous, legalis-tic prose, for the purposes of future news posts, because however well you try, you haven't quite managed to convince me, the average, stupid user, that my donation matters.
Just some good business advice to you if you actually want to keep this thing going. I <3 4chan.
