***Official Ron Paul video thread***

Someone somewhere set up a website measuring something and had some sort of a desired goal to reach in some period but did not reach that something and then they changed the layout so that something is now measured in some other other way so that something can still reach the other goal.

Something is definalty happening somewhere, and I wouldnt be surprised to see more of something happening soon.

i say the next person to make a post with this ridiculous "something" gets banned. Cereally, what is going on here?!

And, are you saying that the graph that says 6mil at the top used to say 12mil, bedreviter?

I really don't care what this "something" is, so I'm probably going to skip this thread until it rolls over until the next page. However, Taso seems frustrated, so can someone help him out?

No, used to display the monthly goal of 4 million. They did not reach that in October, so now they changed it to the December 31st goal.

The goal I see at the website says "12 million to win....by december 31st" Seems like they did increase it to Dec. 31st, but also multiplied it by 3.

Yeah,it was always stated on the page that they wanted to reach 12 million in 3 months. But they had divided it up to make a 4 million goal each month, and they used to display the monthly donations, not the quarterly. They changed it sometime today, so now they dont look stupid for not making the first goal. Of course they still have time to reach the main goal of 12 million before December 31st, I just pointed out that their apporach changed from focusing on the monthly donations to focus on the quarterly donations a few days after it was clear that they did not reach their first part-goal.

Bed, what are you talking about?

The $12 mil goal is very aggressive. The $4 mil was an aggressive sub-goal, which they missed and probably expected to miss (but as of today are right back on track and will soon be ahead of track). What do you want, a memo on the front page saying "guys, just wanted to let everyone know we fell a little short of the October goal but have made up for it in November"? lol

The point of these goals is to give people something to shoot for and encourage a team/community type atmosphere. You make it sound like it is some sort of conspiracy if they change the approach.

Also you should maybe consider that they didn't want to list a humble "4 million" monthly goal in the midst of a massive grassroots effort to approach or exceed that in one day.

Troll elsewhere.

ALP,

Calm down. Nothing he said could be remotely considered as trolling.

Uh, someones overracting a bit. I made a little comment about it, but then I had to elaborate for Teso who did not understand what I was referring to.

If you read my post I clearly state that they still have plenty of time to make the main goal of 12 million, but I just explained to him that they did in fact did not reach their first sub-goal, and that they have gone from displaying monthly donations to quarterly.

Dont worry, I did not say anything bad about Ron Paul nor that I wish they do not meet their goal.

If you think I made this sound like some sort of conspiracy then you are reading my posts quite differently than I intended them to sound.
