An idea for fundraising... What are the AskMe posts you most wanted to see updates on that did not get them? What would you be willing to donate to MetaFilter to get that update? Would you donate $5 to see if they ate the thing? $5 to find out if they went with a product rec from the Ask and whether it worked? $10 to see if they quit that job? $20 to see if they DTMF? Let's bribe our way into some answers. [more inside]

Hi everyone! We have decided to extend the fundraising until mid-September given that the one month length is a bit arbitrary and we want to have gentle, relaxed fundraiser with more activities to enjoy in the upcoming weeks. [more inside]

The locked safe from this prior metatalktails has been opened, just a little too late to put the resolution in that post. (Local news link - archive link if you can't access original)

short version if you just want a summary

The safe was mostly empty save some odds and ends and another locked compartment, which was also empty.

What's a story you'd like a update or resolution to? Can be a real life event, a series that you yearn for more of, or a problem you'd like a solution to. [more inside]
