Comment on October 2021 Membership Drive: Thanks for your Support

  1. Care to explain the 1.5 million dollars you have in reserves that you have no plans for? Continuing these bi-annual donation drives makes users feel like they're contributing to the development of this website, when in reality the newer donations are just for membership purposes. As someone who has frequented Ao3 since 2010 and is on the board of trustees of a local non-profit for over 15 years, I am not happy with this lack of structure and leadership via the latest call. Having monies in reserves is one thing, but millions of dollars worth is unheard of at the level the OTW is at. If steps are not taken to ensure all funds are on a plan of action for the future, please be prepared for investigations to take place.

    1. Have you visited the OTW's main website and looked at the financial documents (the budgets, external audits, etc)?
