Bud, if you have doubts, don’t support the forum.
Folks, I’m not here to explain why it costs what it doest to run the forum.
I’m here to ask for some help.
If you value the forum and wish to help out, that would be nice.
If you have concerns about things and don’t want to support the forum, please move on.
I’ve been here since before the fundraising threads started. Heck, I helped get them started.
Simple math shows that if we had 800 donors who gave a dollar a day, we wouldn’t even need to run fundraising threads.
Right now we’re just a few signups shy of 300,000 members. Granted, some of those have left and others have been banned, but we should be able to end this thing today.
ditto.
i’m a monthly, but I’ll throw another $20 into the kitty.
Seriously folks, we’re talking about the price of a sixpack or a carton of smokes and you get to keep FR around so we can all keep up with the stuff which is important in society. Is it really that hard to do? Or do we have to force JimRob to start putting banner ads on the site and annoying everybody?
I didn't say I don't want to support the forum, and I have indeed given support and will again. I simply state that's it's helpful to sometimes explain to folks where their money goes... it's the Democrats who always want more and refuse to tell you why.
That's going to get the job done.
There were choices made this past year in who was welcomed and who wasn't on the basis of their choice in POTUS candidate. Cull the herd (and not just newbies) in such a way and donations drop.
Big surprise.
I find some value here so I kick in some $ every quarter and will continue to do so but as long as people are going to be banned for disagreeing with the site owners who oddly enough don't have a site without member donations, or screamed off the threads for not having the right conservative beliefs then cash flow is going to suffer.
And yes, I kicked in a few more bucks for the right to speak my piece.
I don’t understand your attitude.
