Very true... this board proves that.

But why does every thread turn into "Miles is not real", or" Mike Z's ass crack", or "Howard and Slits are old", or "Aaron is queer" ?

Not that any of those things are bad in moderation... but geez... the OT stuff is at an all time high, even corrupting most on-topic, technical threads.

I know... I'm an evil supression-loving sumbitch, bent on mind control, enemy of freedom, secretly worshiping Nazis, and overall a fun-hater for even suggesting such a thing.

Well, at least you didn't write "adult" ADD. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Hi Lawrence
OT: I really want to say thanx to you and the other admins, and of course Andy. This site means a lot to me.
I am really stupid when it comes to the internet legallties,
but I am sure if you put a 5$ charge on the list of venders,
that would go to the admins, is this ecommerce ?, if its too complicated, just ask the venders to put a 5$
"hangling fee" that the guys that sell, pass on to you. This can easily be done by a buddy system, gentlemens agreement, at least it would pay for Andys next hardrive.
I would have gladdly pay 5$ more for my inner supports.
I have a full time job+, ecommerce sounds like another job.
Sit back, have a beer on me, no worries, you guys "can do no evil".
Thanx for the update.
Cheers
Joe

Lawrence,
Thanks for the ecommerce update. I appreciate the time and effort admins give away here. I hope that when revived, potential ecommerce fees can generate some revenue for covering the real costs of the site. I would also be willing to pay dues to be here but would also encourage that dues be voluntary so that those on "student" budgets can skate. I have 3 other close family members with 914's that hang here getting help with their projects so I will continue to support the site. Has anyone seen Pelikan's balance sheet? Maybe you guys can learn something from Wayne.

As far as hubs, who has a good design for hubs and how many will sell? I talked to Mike Mueller about hubs but I don't know if he or anyone else claims to "own" a design for them. I do not want to impinge on anyones designs or business ideas but if these things are needed and no-one else is set up for this, I will do it. I have been in machining for years and these things are not rocket science! It's material and machine time. If this design is "open" to the market send me a file and I will nail this thing fast.

The way I understand it, this site is Andy's website, and we all can post on it.

He's said a couple of times its not a problem, and money isn't a issue. If it is a issue in the future, I hope he will step up and say something.

If he does say something, I'm sure we can do a fund raising effort, and be fiscally sound for a period of time while the Ecomerce is revived and implimented.

I mean, look at that happened when he needed the server, I was out for 3 days and didn't even get a chance to drop a $20 on it, as I'd have liked to.

Lots of guys are just having fun I guess...

I respect and I thank all the admins and everyone involved in keeping up this website.. My guess is that techical questions will be at an all time high again soon because of the WCC. I know I havent been able to get to work on my car.
