Has target been reached and thats why it won't allow you to donate? I'm aware that sounds stupid but never know...

Also will you be accepting donations after target is hit? I want to do my bit and help out but im skint atm and thought maybe a bit extra might go towards a game, 2nd controller or summit.

What does it say when you can't donate? I've had three donations today so it's working for some people, at least. :? :(

I guess when we've got the Wii and people still want to donate we can just see where we go from there, maybe set a new target, either stuff to go with the Wii or maybe even... another Wii? :mrgreen:

Ticker updated - NEARLY THERE!

People! We have just received a super-generous donation from a certain forumite which has taken us bang on to our target! HOORAY and a big thank you to everyone!

I've sent the money from PayPal to my account so I'll be able to order the Wii in "2-3 days".

I really can't believe we managed to hit this target so fast, you really have excelled yourselves! :D But there's no reason to stop here, I know a lot of people are still waiting to donate, so lets keep going and see what else we can achieve, be it games or accessories to accompany the Wii or maybe even something better.

Again, well done everyone, I really feel like we've achieved something special here, I hope everyone else has the same warm fuzzy feeling I do. :mrgreen:

Same, but with Wednesday. I'm glad the target has been reached, though, and there is room for upward expansion so we can accessorise the Wii. It just goes to show that, despite Twitter's protestations, this forum can really go great things.

Shadow was never seen again. In years to come, people will call this moment "Shadowgate"

Would NSMB Wii be a better idea as it's more of a pick up and play game compared to Galaxy.

I believe Shadow is still accepting donations, so we could give the kid some extra stuff with his Wii.

The kid is ill, possibly dying and you want to deny him Super Mario Galaxy?

You absolute banana split :|

Yeah, but the kids could have 4 player co op.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:
