First post in 25+ years and it is a vanity
05/31/2005 | Starflyte1

If each monthly donor increased their monthly donation by $5.00, it would help Jim Robinson reach his goals. We do not want to lose Free Repblic.

Now on to my $10 payment for posting a vanity.

That’s not a vanity- it’s a community service.

Why don’t you post more often? You have a voice.

When you don’t post, you stop an admin from suspending you.

Long time member of this group, I just went to monthly donations figured this is a great site and want it to continue.

Better yet, if each non-donor became a monthly donor, it would increase quarterly donation by thousands. Especially those who use FR frequently on behalf of a single randon website.c

Two of the three months of the second quarter are almost past.

FR is at 48% when it should be at least at 67% raised.

It is about $15,000 short.

FR typically falls $10,000 short by the end of the first month of a quarter and usually stays about that amount short until about the last week of a quarter.

Unless, of course, your name is "NextRush" - then you can post whatever nonsense you want, whenever you want! 🤪

I used to have a monthly autopay donation but that has apparently stopped.

You've been posting comments on threads here at FR forever, so the fact you haven't ever posted a "vanity" seems to me to be immaterial.

We all donate what we can afford to on FR.

There are obviously going to be freeloaders.

You can't do anything about them, unless JR decides to make membership subject to a subscription.

So again, the purpose for your post, and publicizing the ten-dollar contribution you are making, isn't clear.

I saw nothing wrong with the vanity. It’s clear enough for me.

How do you update the amount of a monthly donation?

Thank you. I do not remember ever posting. Maybe I don’t post because of posters like 4Runner.

I’ll just state for the record that when I have cause to change my tagline things will change for the positive.

What needs to happen is promotion of the forum to young people. Our average age is 55+. Per another poster we’re approximately the 75,000th most popular website. We need more young and minority conservatives. Everyone should the next time they think about posting “din do nuffin”. Or “Meheeico.”

I donate regularly.

Should say post was removed. I wasn’t suspended. Yet.
