You can't assume they haven't just because they haven't posted, or that they haven't made a donation in some other way, a quid in a bucket, an online donation etc etc etc or both.

An easier method is to donate to the many approved ones being advertised widely in the media. You then donate knowing full well your donation is actually going to where you want it to go.
All this site is saying is, sign up and we will donate 50p because you have signed up and agree to certain conditions.
From where I am sitting it seems strange that an internet site like this is being recommended at all.But then having delved into this site a bit closer I can see a connection.

We have several charities who appreciate donations on this site. The Haiti one is a way we can introduce another very worthy cause without having another post asking for money. If you have a problem with it "being recommend at all", tough, who cares.

Ouch that seemed to have touched a nerve.
No I dont have a problem with it at all. Seems you do though.
I was just replying to a post as to why more people have not registered with this site who are donating all these 50ps.
Am I not allowed to make a post then. Or is that against your rules.

Do you know, if you said different things or tried different ways to complain you'd possibly last longer on here before drawing attention to yourself. Nob.

Bye (again )

Im in, I didn't see any ref to the 50p donation though, hope they are still doing it.

Spotted it now on their website

How do we know how many people have signed up? Perhaps lots of people have subscribed but just have not said they have!

I'm in as well  

I find it hard to understand why there have been uncharitable comments made about this site? What is wrong with a site that guarantees a charitable donation of 50p (irrespective of which charity), at no personal cost (other than perhaps a few emails)?

Donations can still be made via other routes as well if desired, and I am grateful that this site was brought to my attention, otherwise I (and I guess many others) would have been totally unaware of its existance.
