There are always going to be a sizeable group of idiots out there who are in this business solely for themselves and their own short term gain even if it's at the expense of others. No organized movement is ever going to gather in those types no matter what the cause is.
However... I do think that when certain causes or issues come up, the webmasters of GFY (and of other boards) really DO come together at times. Certainly an aweful lot of us donated to the fund to fight Acacia that Far-L and a few others started.
On thinking back, after the planes hit on 9/11 some of us (including myself) designed donation banners and one hell of a lot of us put those banners up on our sites in order to help the Red Cross and the official relief fund effort.
If the cause is big and important enough, those who are serious do tend to get behind it, even if only by paypalling a few bucks. You don't always see who is behind a cause either, it's not like a lot of the big dogs will post here to say "I donated" or "I support this"... some prefer to lurk (for understandible reasons)
But like I said, official organization or not there will always be the useless group, and trying to recruit them would be effort wasted.
