I propose we do some sort of fundraiser for our fearless web guys. I don't know the ins and outs of such a deal, but we could donate to Andy for buying some new state of the art black box or just a pallet of beer. Lets here some ideas for and against.
UPDATE: QUOTE Alright guys I have setup a Paypal account (against my better judgement). You can send your donations to the Paypal Account: *Removed address as fundraiser is over* If you are like me and don't use Paypal that is fine as well, you can PM me for an address a send me a check made out to Andy and I will forward it. I will be keeping an excel spreadsheet of who donated and how much. That list is not for public use, but if there is some dispute as to when and how much someone sent I will have that data. WHEN you send your donation (or use Paypal) make sure you include your 914 world User name and your real name. I want to make sure I can keep track of every penny. |

Its true, we do take a lot away from here with the vast collective knowledge of our members and we're lucky enough to have Andy contain that to one small corner of the world.
Maybe something as simple as a $20/yr donation will get you a gold star by your name. And if you're an asshole, you get a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) and a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) by your name. With that said, I am for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE(BajaXJ92 @ May 16 2012, 10:56 AM)  Maybe something as simple as a $20/yr donation will get you a gold star by your name. 914club was just that.... And the reason the 914world split from the 914 club. With 200 active members here, at $20+ a year, your talking a good 4k+ a year... Not including the ads up top. Which based on my understandings, the ads by the vendors are what funds the site. I have a hard time believing that thats going to fly.. IMHO the only way you'll get admins to accept "contributions" is if you buy them a beer or slip a $50 in their pocket without them noticing.. Dont get me wrong, I fully support this site, Andy, and the community. I just think there is a better way of going about supporting the site from a members standpoint than direct monetary contributions. I think Joe's idea is the best, a gift card for Amoy and Andy sound like a great idea! Joe, which Mike are we talking about? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy, My apologies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I remember a thread a while ago where you posted paying for the site domain or something and then I and a few people offered to help chip in and you responded stating that the site has a fund for that. I remembered that it was from the Ads. Apparently I remembered wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
