This morning, I was clicking around on this site to see if I could find anything to help a poster who was having trouble with his display. I was looking for the "Preferences" page which is accessed from the "Account" page.
And, at the very top of the "Account" page is this recap of my own account.
You've posted a total of 842 threads and 40,007 replies.
Now, I have been a member here for a while, but any way you slice it, that is a LOT of use.
I'll simply suggest that anyone who reads this, please check your usage. There is a FReepathon (fund raiser) going on. Every one of those 842 threads and 40,007 replies involved cost that has to be paid for.
I could do the math and post resulting fraction of a cent that I have given to cover that cost. It would be very, very tiny.
But, it would not be zero.
Please think about it. Thank you for reading.

It represents a staggering amount of personal time, over a period of, hmm, seven plus years.

We’ll have to wait until near the end, then use our donations to lift Michigan’s FR ranking. :’)

Do you think it needs an indicator as to how many appreciated each post? ;-) There used to be a notation of how many times a thread had been viewed as well as how many replied had been made. That went away after a crash, I think.
Speaking of which, I am not very versed in the technicalities of how a system actually works; but, I know enough to be very appreciative of the amount of work and diligence it must take to keep this site up and running as well as it does.

If I had given $10 per inch yesterday, I would have had to file a penny just a little and send the powder in to FR.

I still have a bias that participation is better than mere lurking.

I once card a birthday card from my mom that said on the front: “Do you wanna watch for your birthday?”
And on the inside it said: “Or participate?”
