What's it worth to you ?

As I was looking for a member on the member list I was aware of the fact that very few people are site contributors . Just take a moment and go any where you want on the list of members . Just click on "MEMBERS" which is at the top of this page and go through the list of people who use the resources of this site and basically for nothing .I have nothing to do with this site other than be a member and pick up information , pass-on the very little that I do know , and spend way too much money buying/selling things that interest me . The purpose of this post is to make/help all of us to realize what we already know ---- nothing good in life is free . We , as members, owe it to the site and administrators to send them a contribution for the upkeep of this site . Just the price of a magazine ($5) would help if we all would contribute . This message is not for a few, but rather for the vast majority. I'll get off my "soap box " now . Sorry if this bothered you but we are responsible for keeping this site up , not a few .

Also don't judge everyone, I paid and have sent to PM's about NOT being noticed.

Potatoe. Thanks for the donation. I didn't see a message from you recently to the "Forum Boss" but perhaps we overlooked something in the past. Again, thanks for your help.

I also want to thank the original poster. With four guys on site this year, covering SHOT show has already drawn on our contributions significantly.
 
I don't want people to think I'm preaching but I'm going to move this to the top every day in the hope that more people contribute to the site . I'll do it for two weeks and then stop----just bear with me . The only reason why is that it's one way I can help out and keep a darn good site strong, and up and running . Again , I have no tie to this site other than being a member .
 
GTL thanks for getting this in front of everybody again. I just sent in my payment for this year. I'm a newbie and find this site really helpful with just trying to understand everything that is involved with this sport. At some point I hope to be able to contribute to the knowledge base instead of just sucking up all the info offered by the various members.

Keep your stick on the ice and always land with the rubber side down.

I am new to the site and agree that it is most valuable. Perhaps you can tell us new guys what the contribution procedure is.
Thanks,
Bill Kroneberg

gtl1946,
People need preached at, you are exactly right the site needs help continually, I disagree with you about not having any ties to this site!....We all that regularly use this site have ties to it, I have made many many friends on here and would feel a huge personal loss if I were not able to keep in touch with them through this site also all of us that use the classifieds either as a buyer or seller have ties to the site and SHOULD donate for that reason alone! So I say we all have ties!! please donate folks, some of you like me had 4 or 5 or more magazine subscriptions prior to this site and now are down to 1 or 2 or even none, take some of the money you used to spend on subscriptions and donate it please. You may stop in two weeks gtl1946 but I think I will pick up where you leave off and keep bumping it each day for two more weeks and I hope other appreciative members will keep the ball rolling! Thank you gtl1946 for a very important thread.
Sincerely Wayne.

You are a good man Frank, if everyone thought that way they would be having raffles on here, that's great thank you.
Wayne.

rlb53,
I bet Paul will notice you now! try and remember there are only a hand full of guys running the whole site, things get overlooked, but I would like to thank you for your donations, I don't know if you belong to other gun forums but if you do then you know there is no other like this one.
Wayne.
 
Good thread guys! A couple weeks ago I clicked the 'donate' button and it seems paypal preferred,,so I elected not to donate. (I have a real problem with paypal,tho I have had an account with them for years.)So, this morning,after reading this thread, I used paypal and donated.
I would have rather sent a check,but couldn't find a detailed address. Maybe there are many more like me. just sayin'.
I love this site! I visit it twice daily. I gain most of my knowledge from it and its members. Please do not go away.
Thank you, glt1946, for bringing this to our attention!
Terry

One of the things I have learned over the last 10 years or so is that you ;

CAN"T SHAME FREELOADERS!!!!

Our society seems to have plunged to where 20% support the rest in most everything that takes place.

However, it is always worth letting the 80% know we know what they are up to!

Terry, That is great that you were able to donate, Thank you! I don't like paypal either but have used it, if from now on when making a donation and you would prefer a check here is where you can send it,.....
Wayne.

If you don't want to use PayPal, you can make a check payable to "Jason Baney".
Jason handles the direct donations for me. Please mail your check to:

Funny, I contributed what I could in the past, and a bit yesterday...but I don't show as a contributer...is this a manual process?
 
I have to agree with the first post and i am a guilty one. I need to buck up and start sending something in a few times a year. Their will be a check in the mail this week. I have met a lot of great people here and made some really goods friends on the way to. Super forum and super people is what makes this a great place to be. Thanks for the posting it and has been long over due for me to pony up and give back.
