The VERY first thing I said to Dennis (Capn Cornflake) when we first discussed the April Fool's joke was "we can't say ANYTHING about the donation money -we have to keep the revamp project intact in full or people will throw a fit." And some people DID throw a fit because they thought their donation money was gone, or not being used,or was spent by someone despicable not worthy of a donation.
Needless to say, it would have been a horrible disaster if we had done anything that implied the site was being seriously harmed or that the donators' money was being spent for other means than what they donated. I also believe it's not legal (neverminding the ethical aspects of it) to spend donation money on projects other than what they were stated for.
