For all the enjoyment I get here I should give $$$$$.  Working at a nonprofit means I can afford way less.

I pushed the button and gave.

Thanks for this.

I just gave $100.  If beer fund comes up on my credit card statement my wife is going to kick my a@#.  Hey, can I be a titanium member?

I thought the money I gave on the last board for membership was going towards helping the board, not into someone else's pocket- that is why I gave it in the first place.  They announced the sale like 2 months later.  Frustrating.

that is a difficult situation, for sure. on the one hand you have a valid frustration. but on the other hand, they couldn't have stopped taking memberships before the sale. AND, i don't think they expected TOB to go south quite as quick and hard as it did. i think they expected TOB to continue on course, making your contribution a valid one.

nobody here is out to take your money. these are donations, and are made based on our trust in the Flounders' good intentions. if you're not comfortable throwing something into the pot right now, don't stress it. hang out and keep posting and contributing to this board in a positive way.

Add $25 to the pot. Thanks for the great work.
Money well spent to have a VS free board.

I think the donation process is a good way to start to get the necessary infrastructure and support happening. But I do think there will come a time when we need to properly constitute this board as a proper community of interest and protect ourselves of ever being hijacked again.  Please dont take any offense to that, I am casting any aspersions on the people involved in DML or this new wonderful site. 

But if at the end of the day it costs approximately $x dollars to keep this wonderful resource up and running then why dont we establish a budget and get the necessary funds to keep it going.  Sell foundation and titanium membership that comes with nothing more than a t-shirt or a pin and the good cheer that you have been invovled in something that is a genuine community of interest on the internet.

Count me in....

How much do I have to donate to become a mod?   [moto]

Seriously though, I have a refund coming to my pp account that I'd be glad to send over when it makes it.  Or, I can donate in person for a sail boat ride.
