According to post #122, this site costs about $360K annually to run. I have no idea whether this is a “reasonable” number or not. But there are 330,000 members. If everyone donated just $1.10 a YEAR, it would keep FR going indefinitely.
If just 10% donated $1 a month, that too would pay the bills.
If just 1% donated $10 a month, that too would pay the bills.
etc. etc.
If everyone simply pledged $1 a month today, FR’s funding problems would be over.

It works, it works, it works! I'm not worried about it. Someone took my reply on another thread about some
people leaving due to lack of updates or upgrades and read more into it than I meant. Well, then maybe this whole thread created a needless scare. I guess you can tell how much folks appreciate FR (and you) by the level of response it's generated.
You've been a good and able steward of this most valuable resource, Jim, and for that, we are all truly grateful. As I said previously, be it far from me to tell you how to run your site. You obviously know what you're doing, and have given all of what's been offered here a great deal of thought.
That said, you know we Freepers are irrepressible, and will freely offer our advice, whether you want it or not .. LOL

And you would be wrong. I accept most Christian denominations (Catholic, Baptist, non-denom, Lutheran, Methodist, etc) as my brothers and sisters in Christ. We all agree on the same basic tenants and the Person work and nature of Jesus Christ.
You assume I have a ‘flavor’ but you couldn’t be more wrong. MrR and I divide our time between Lutherans, Methodists, a non denom, a Calvary Chapel and an Assemblies of God. They are all Christians.
The REAL Christian isn’t defined by me, it is defined by the Bible.

Same here. I dont like the gay thing at all...I'll go out of my way to avoid them, but it was the site owner's general attitude on the threads that kept me from donating $200. There are civil ways to go about "purging", and that was about as uncivil as they come. Another FReeploader who's trying to blackmail FR with threats of withholding contributions because they don't like the way the site is run.
Do you always use services without paying if you don't like the owners attitude? Old timers were warned REPEATEDLY about their posts. They weren't purged out of the blue. When they were warned and they kept it up, they got what they asked for.
Zotting noobs is a different matter. And they were often warned as well, by other FReepers. Nobody bought it without warning.
Or do you pay for the service provided because you availed yourself of it and it's the right thing to do.
You don't need to brag about how much you're not giving to FR because you're offended. Nobody really cares. If you don't like the way FR is run, nobody is forcing you to stay. Just leave already and keep your money.
You are another one to whom I will say..... grow up.

Just got a chance to read most of this thread and I wanted to tell you that I agree with you. It’s pitiful and shameful.
To: reaganaut
As I said, as YOU perceive it to be. Nothing wrong with that.You shouldn’t be deciding what is right for others.

And seriously...no edit button?? What the hell? It's nice not having an edit button.
That way people can't post something inflammatory and then go back and change it and deny it. It forces people to own their posts.

"...It could be posted for sale by Freepers who have blogs or access to blogs giving FR as the order point."
Good idea. Perhaps FR will be able to follow through.

Because schools are where they indoctrinate you with Socialism, while prisons are places for repentance.
