[history]
The latest quarterly FReepathon was a success and is over now. However, these events are a pain in the butt for those that run and operate them and for two to three weeks they dominate the sidebar and each thread. It is time we work to eliminate them once and for all.
Monthly Donations!
Many FReepers of good will are signed up for a monthly donation to FR as opposed to making a quarterly contribution. There are advantages to this system for both the site and the donor. FR can operate on a sounder fiscal basis by having money coming in monthly and as a donor you can spread your contributions out in smaller increments over an entire year.
Currently FR gets about 7k in monthly revenue. If we could get this up to 25k, there would be no need for the FReepathons. You can sign up for a painless $5-$10 a month (more if you are inclined, several people are at $50-$100!), which would be processed through a secure server by Jim and his family. Plus, running bulk CC donations on a monthly basis is less expensive than using PayPal. Even if you can only afford $2-$3, it would be a tremendous help!
It's time we help put FR onto a more secure and professional revenue plan! Please, bump this thread and use your ping lists to encourage your friends and family to GO MONTHLY!
We need to get 1800 FReepers who would be willing to donate an average of $10 once a month!

I was just thinking that. Let me put that together. : )
To: Bob J
Alright, bump my monthly amount up an additional $10. Should I use the donate link and add a new plege, or can you just raise my monthly amount? (I pay by check, pledge #1309, with monthly e-mail reminders.)

Didn't he use to dry his hair with paper towels?

Liberace used to just love wearing those scarves.

Actually, I think the good Senator has cooler hair. Not as cool as mine, but cool ;0)

I agree, but shhhhhhhh! There is also a rumor going around that Pardek is very good-looking in person, but don't mention that either. He's already full of himself.
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet; Senator Pardek
Well, he IS full of SOMETHING ;0)

Didn't he use to dry his hair with paper towels? I never heard that, but it's scary.
The whole jewelry-foppery-smiley thing throws me off.
Anyone that foppy and smiley is suspect to me. ;-)
To: Chad Fairbanks
I'm never quite sure of what you mean, Fairbanks. : )
To: Bob J
Okay, okay... I just signed up as a monthly donor. When do I get my coffee cup? :D
