According to the post on Penny Arcade, part of the reason that the drive was taken down was because people were confused and thought that reaching a certain amount guaranteed a new ending. Then, after finding out that it didn't guarantee a new ending, they asked Paypal for their money back.
If you do start another charity drive, please make sure to let them know that donating does not guarantee a new ending.

Apparently theyve worked something out for Nathan Fillion's charity, Kids Need to Read.

Because when they did it, they basically did it as two people with unified goals.
Organizing a lot of people on the other hand brings in all types of different goals and motivations and public actions.
Honestly if it weren't for the people asking for money back, and the people who didn't read the actual declaration of what the drive was about, I doubt this conversation would be happening.

Really wish a mod was on to lock that "gabe" thread, this is making the whole RT3 look bad do to the few getting sucked into it.
Yep, its getting bad. Reminds me of yesterday with the troll pro-ender trend. Not good at all.
I know, I tried to be as civilized as I could yesterday, even tried to pull people the heck out of the trend. Finally got a mod in to shut it down.
You can only do so much to try and get other people to understand. If it gets that bad, I'll have to just report people again. I hate doing it, but it has to stop. It only hurts us.
Looks like the tied slowly turning, allot of the "heated" ones are leaving.

I got this e-mail back from the CFF:
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation gratefully acknowledges your gift of $100.00 on 03/23/2012. We depend greatly on the generosity of people like you, who enable us to wage our battle against cystic fibrosis (CF).
The opportunity to develop new therapies for people with CF has never been greater. And, we optimistically forge ahead knowing we are impacting the lives of those with CF as never before. Our perspective does, however, remain in check as we continue to lose precious young people to this disease. Please know that for each day we work, and for every dollar we raise, we are "adding tomorrows every day" for people with CF.
Your donation is offering hope to the tens of thousands of patients and their families who live with this disease every day. We are most appreciative of your support and promise to invest it in the wisest way possible -- to save lives.
I would suggest that donations to worthy charities around the world inspired or in honor by the Mass Effect series. Perhaps a way to track these could be set up and to inspire others to do the same.

It seems hopeless, A large segment of this movement is entirely out of control.

Yes, the page has disappeared and the organized donation drive has ended. but please don't let that stop you from donating on your own. The organization will still appreciate it all the same.

All I see is ill will from Bioware... I guess I have become jaded. Time to wander away from these forums.

Honestly, it's probably not even a large segment. But that's the thing about people that are out of control. They have a disproportionate impact.

And the only reason the Retake members are going off the rails is because theyre being denied what they have all worked for for so long. First its the endings and now its the charity. Everybody had placed hope in it and set their own goals. Its not easy to accept that something like this is just closed without them having a say in it.

You have to understand that just donating would not work. We have to donate all together into the same charity with a way of tracking how much our movement has donated altogether.

Bioware isn't our problem, we are our problem. There are people out there acting like proving the medias awful comments about us true was there full time job. And it's not because they're moles or some other half assed conspiracy theory, it's because they are choosing not to manage their emotions.
Not feeling especially proud to be part of this movement right about now. We can't control anything except how we act, how we come across. I registered here three hours after I finished the game because I was straight up traumatized. I don't do forums, always assumed it would be a bunch of 15 year olds swearing at eachother. Was shocked by the quality of the movement, the unity, the intelligence, the drive. Now it look to me like a bunch of 15 year olds swearing at eachother. I'm getting some sleep.
