Yeah good luck with that.. in theory a good idea, in reality it's not feasible.
Firstly Please do not contact DST "on behalf of the Multiverse" Shane and his team have worked very hard to build a relationship with them and if this sort of thing was to happen is should go through someone like Shane.
Secondly having a lot of people say they will chip in and 'count me in' is VERY different from having people actually put their money where their mouth is.
Trust me you're flogging a dead horse with this one...

TBT, you always say this when the subject comes up and while I agree that it is different to talk about than actually act on, we've never ACTUALLY tried to act on this, have we? Why not, at the least, try to set up a poll, get members maybe to PM someone organizing the thing stating about how much they'd be willing to pitch in, and just get an idea on if this could ever be feasible. I'm not saying "let's do this", I'm saying instead of just thinking that no one will actually put money forth when it comes down to it, we could actually ask around and get responses and some actual info on who;d all pitch in.
