Title: Update of financial members in the Christmas Give Away
Post by: Craig Beswick on December 04, 2020, 11:14:52 PM: Hi guys,
just an update to those in the Christmas Give Away.
There are now 130 entries. Of those, there are 42 members who are financial for 2020/2021. Just under a third, which is a great improvement really!!!!

It would be great if ALL those entering could be kind enough to give back something to Stunthanger and Robert.

In a utopian world it may be nice to get something for nothing but the reality is the Forum costs money and time and without Robert then Stunthanger would not exist. Remember what happened to Stuka Stunt!!!!

So please, let's ALL put in a little so Robert doesn't have to put in a lot.

Regards
Craig

Stunt Hanger is a great evening get away from the world of today.
I would like to suggest that we all do our best to contribute.

I started this by trying to appeal to peoples sense of responsibility. Unfortunately there was little initial support and I have gradually been more......umm....Direct in my approach!!!!!

All it really takes is 175 members to put in $20-$25 each and we are away. If we could get all 350 regular users to put in $15 each then it would be simple.

Personally I think it should be $10 for every member every year for the privilege to use Stunthanger. Another $5 plus 2% to sell on classifieds and $30 on top of the yearly fee for vendors corner but that is me. I believe in paying for what I use just not getting a free ride and taking advantage of it!!!!!!

Thank you for your comments.

Craig

No registering for the Christmas Give-away for people that haven't donated?
No placing Classified Ads for people that haven't donated?
~~No advertising commercial wares for people that haven't donated?~~ (because I just saw "advertise" lists fees)

Or, "Paying Membership has its privileges."

I'm sure there is a way to say the above in a more gracious way.

All it takes is looking at a user's avatar to see if they should be taking advantage of the above goodies.

Post by: 944_Jim on December 05, 2020, 07:01:25 PM: I couldn't find the Easy Button for "Donate" either. I knew it popped up in rotation with other ads, so I kept changing forums until it popped up again.

the donate button is in rotation with advertising.

If you click on the Home button, then the Open Forum button a few times, or click on one of the header tabs, members, classifieds etc. eventually you will see this.

Post by: 944_Jim on December 08, 2020, 03:07:27 PM: My experience was hit the button and it springs up in PayPal automatically.
