  • Location: As always, silence is NOT an admission of agreement on DDF. It just means that people lack the stamina to keep on arguing with made up "facts", illogical arguments, deceiving statements, nasty and degrading comments, and fuzzy math. - @yelped
I guess I'll leave the matching open for another hour.

Wait an hour to post, but leave the matching open indefinitely for now. When more is pledged here, you can update the post with, "Another $xxxx will be matched!" Serves as a nudge to get people to donate and keeps the campaign from getting stale after a couple of hours.
Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

I would write "Dans Deals" instead of "DDF". Drop the word "Forums".

Can you make a suggestion? We need a headline that gets people to read the thread without getting "turned off" by thinking it's "just a regular fundraiser"

Help Families Who Lost Loved Ones In Meron (DDF Matching Campaign)

Better? 

Also, the paragraph on insurance detracts from the campaign, so maybe omit here.  It is SO important that it could be the subject of a Commentary of its own, in a few weeks, when the immediate fundraising issues have passed and people can give it the attention it deserves.

Also, it's confusing when you copy the Shomati text, because it's not clear to the reader that you haven't written this.  Can you summarize in a sentence or two what the Shomati/Yad Eliezer campaign is, and give a link to the reader to go there to read it?  Or are most of your readers unable to follow links?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
Too many opinions on the title.

Leave it as is and it can always be shared a second or third time if it's doing well and switch up the wording each time.

What is this blurb about hearing a song in a cave? Is this guy trying to allude he heard a bas kol or something instead of just saying he heard some dude singing? Sounds weird to me. I would leave that out.

If I would like to donate $100, should it be done here on the matching side or as a straight donation on the main site? Or is there no difference?

What happens if DDMS doesn't donate as much as the DDF matches? Who from DDF doesn't match?
