I read this thread last night, and had to sleep on it to see if I still felt the same as I did last night. Pay it forward is a wonderful program, I have been the recipient of many items from time to time.
The original poster is ultimately in charge of how items are distributed. It is our job as club members to actively share and foster a sense of community.
With that, when one member comes in moments after a post and cleans house when there was plenty to go around absolutely does not foster community, it reeks of selfishness.
Maybe there is some great plan to spread this around the club, donate everything to a swap, start a breading program. The optics however don't say that, and have cause resentment for a few members, which can be quite dangerous to club moral and unity, clubs break apart that way. It has happened before and could easily happen again.
