Well, the fundraiser is almost done. We're $1,000.00Â US away from our goal of $18,000. (Actually, $988.56---thanks, **Luigi30!** :) We're almost there, and it seems to be a good time to go that extra mile to finish up. So, lock up your pets and small children, turn off your WALLOPS, today is **Silly Cloaks Day** on freenode. 8)

5. Bid the donation you're willing to make on **#fundraiser**. It should be a standard [support level](http://freenode.net/pdpc.shtml#donorlevels) (base or student, active, sustaining, bronze, or silver). We'll wait five minutes, and the highest donation wins; if there's a tie, we'll get three staffers to vote on which one they saw first (since messages may arrive at different servers at different times).

6. If you won the cloak, message us the text you want to appear on it. You get to specify up to 52 characters, and it will end in **.fundraiser.pdpc**.

7. Just [donate](http://freenode.net/news-2004-07-05.shtml#donate) on the website via paypal or credit card, and when it comes in, we'll set up the cloak, and your poor victim will wear it whenever they're on the network, for the next 24 hours!
