I emplore you guys, dont put your finatial plans on hold, seel you TFs or miss a credit card payment in order to help Ryan buy a new camera he doesnt actually need. It realy isn't that big a deal!

Actually, I agree with AK here guys. While I really appreciate all of the donations, this request was not an end of the world request. My camera is broken which sucks but I will buy a new one this weekend using some of my money and the donations I have received this week. There will be new galleries by Sunday night. Please do not make donations that are a detriment to your personal finances.
Man most of us would push a baby into trafic to be the first to have the latest figure.
On that note, we're just trying to show some love!
Still emploring people to not help someone who does nothing but
!DO! for us is kinda cold.
If that person was purely
!DOING! thing for the fandom and only the fandom I would agree. It's a popular misconception, one that I'm sure Ryan likes to promote, that everything he does is a selfless act to make the fandom and the peope who use this site happier and in no way self serving. That is not to say he doesn't have a great site here with lots of content and useful fun stuff for Transfans, but if you think thats all there is to it you are sorely mistaken.

I agree, I just wanted to stress that if you can't afford it don't donate. No one should be under any illusions that Ryan can't afford to replace his camera out of his own pocket, you are contributing to his bank balance just by being here. If you dont think that's enough by all means donate.
