Hey everyone, this ^ user's account is one day old. If he/she can donate, you can too.

Most of the donors are repeat donors. Please, if you haven't donated before, please do. It's quick and easy and reminds the moderators that their work is a appreciated.

If PayPal isn't your thing, email me [email protected] and we can find something else. Check in the mail, Apple Pay, Venmo, etc.

That wraps it up for 2020 Moderator donation drive!

THANKS TO ALL DONORS. You make the MVS moderators feel appreciated, and they help this place run right.

I'll task the MVS Supercomputer cluster with totalling the donations, and it'll have a sum by end of day. Then the MVS robot drones will see to it the moderators get their dough!

Whooo!

After running all night, the MVS Supercomputer cluster has a total. But first, some things:

"Good morning," said Deep Thought at last.

"Er... Good morning, O Deep Thought," said Loonquawl nervously, "do you have... er, that is..."

"An answer for you?" interrupted Deep Thought majestically. "Yes. I have."

The two men shivered with expectancy. Their waiting had not been in vain.

"There really is one?" breathed Phouchg.

"There really is one," confirmed Deep Thought.

"To Everything? To the great Question of Life, the Universe and Everything?"

"Yes."

Both of the men had been trained for this moment, their lives had been a preparation for it, they had been selected at birth as those who would witness the answer, but even so they found themselves gasping and squirming like excited children.

"And you're ready to give it to us?" urged Loonquawl.

"I am."

"Now?"

"Now," said Deep Thought.

They both licked their dry lips.

"Though I don't think," added Deep Thought, "that you're going to like it."

"Doesn't matter!" said Phouchg. "We must know it! Now!"

"Now?" inquired Deep Thought.

"Yes! Now..."

"Alright," said the computer and settled into silence again. The two men fidgeted. The tension was unbearable.

"You're really not going to like it," observed Deep Thought.

"Tell us!"

"Alright," said Deep Thought. "The Answer to the Great Question..."

"Yes...!"

"Of Life, the Universe and Everything..." said Deep Thought.

"Yes...!"

"Is..." said Deep Thought, and paused.

"Yes...!"

"Is..."

"Yes...!!!...?"

"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

In our case, the number is $1491. Not as elegant as 42, but much greater.

Thanks to everyone who donated. If you didn’t get an “MVS Contributor” badge, please contact me and I’ll make that happen.

If you missed this round, keep an eye out for the next round. I announce them and make a big fuss about it… it’s hard to miss.

This is a large sum and I'm very thankful to you members who donated.
