The charity ribbons are still there but the actual system itself hasn't been used since 2007 / 2008 I think. The way it used to be done was the NP$ used to purchase the ribbons was then later auctioned off for Paypal cash, it was then that paypal cash that was divided amongst charities evenly when donated. That system / procedure hasn't been in use for many years though.
Eventually we may hold another NP$ auction with all the charity NP$ in the charity holdings account. Not sure when that will be yet though.
If the system is effectively defunct because of the situation with the NP$ currency, it might make sense to make it not possible to buy them anymore - but obviously keep the ribbons people have already bought?
I would imagine that the longer the NP$ auction is left, the lower the values that will go to charity :td:
Would be great to see another charity auction - would be happy to help out
