Hello moderators and members, this is my first post to the forum.
I've been a reader of Penny Arcade for ~2 years, and recently had my heart touched by stories of the Child's Play charity. (And now that I'm 18 I wish to donate) Now, I'm under the impression that Child's Play is 100% Penny Arcade founded, and run, yet I found only a small box hidden at the bottom of the page linking to the charity. Why in the world wouldn't you take more pride in such a huge success? There should be a Child's Play tab right along the top of the screen where "Comic, Archive, Forum, PA Presents, Pax, Store" currently are.
As soon as I get some credit room again next month (damn 500 dollars for books :x) I'll be donating 50 dollars to the charity, however, I'd love to do it from a fresh, proud link at the top of the main page.

Thanks bud.
Actually Robert Khoo may well check this if it shows up on Robert Khoo's name search that Robert Khoo periodically does to check out threads where people have mentioned Robert Khoo so you could be in luck.
No! You've opened the box of Pankhoora!
It is a risk I am willing to take for the greater Khoo...d.
This is terrible and you're terrible.
Robert Khoo would agree with me.
Robert Khool down.
I don't think anyone Khood agree with you.
Believe me my friend I'd hate for them to blab that all over too. I'm not even talking about a link directly to a donation page, but simply a more appropriately placed link to the charity's main page. To be honest the first time I wanted to find Child's Play I had to search it in google (even though it only took 2 seconds) because I didn't think to look at the bottom of the page for it. >.>
Yeah, I think this is pretty close. While it is true that the same guys who make jokes about punching babies for a living also help millions of hospitalised children, putting those two things together so blatantly isn't the best marketing strategy for the charity. If you want to show people the charity, point them to http://www.childsplaycharity.org instead, and it's not like it's not heavily promoted in gaming media.
There's also the fact that G&T are incredibly modest about it.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
That's one of my favourite parts about the yearly Childs Play drive, especially how moved they sound when talking about it in the news posts. There's no bravado about it. They had a good idea, ran with it, and seem to be genuinely moved each year with how generous the gaming community is with their time, money and resources.
Sad but true!
But luckily the industry and community has really embraced the cause, so its promotion has never been an issue.
I've seen some that'd be happy with 20K, and you're all like "Pft I got that in my wallet bitches."
That reeks.
I believe they're still paying off the punching of a baby and flipping off of a box of kittens. The last thing they need to do is lengthen their penance.
