As title says whos gonna be donating i know i am all the knowledge and help i have received from people on here is great.
Also the money saved from not having to ask for help from Dealers etc.
I can only apologise for not donating sooner.
Already have
Just look at the number of Contributor titles to see how many have already donated 
me also, though i still get the directed to the 'please donate' page
i havent..... because i'm tight
ok really i just havent got around to it yet, but i will
saying that i hope he won“t ask it us to much times a year not of the money but because www servers are cheap.
saying that i don“t know how much traffic this site generates..
Tks
p.d. i mean to say if there are 200 people who have paid 5pounds each (minimum) then he already has 1000pounds..with 1000pounds he can serously
buy/pay for a good server and space and allot of traffic and that only with 200 people paid..
(of the 5500 registered??)
I've already contributed and I hope that I won't feel the need to contribute again. Not because it's not worth it but instead because I
hope my car will be complete soon!!
By the way, £1000 won't go very far when you consider proper 24x7 server hardware costs, hosting costs (even at cost rates) and the cost of
professional expertise. I don't know how big this site has become in terms of storage space and how much admin and preventative maintenance it
consumes but I work for a medium sized (ie 350 staff) IT company and we charge around £900 per day for a technical or software consultant.
I'd be surprised if Chris was to break even (even at zero-profit rates) if he received less than £10k per year in donations.
Cheers,
Craig.

I have, but still get donation messages and junior builder tag.
[Edited on 17/11/06 by jimmyjoebob]
I've donated recently and still have senior builder not contributor tags.
But who cares about the tag anyway. This is a great resource and if it wasn't here people like me who are enthusiastic but without all the tech
skills necessay would struggle greatly.
So well done chrisW.
Ah I see what`s happened, you aint been on for 2 months so did`nt know the score Moa2. It`s already been gone over and discussed in numerous threads
There`s even a poll on the subject.
Cheers G
Hi probably a question for chris but was there a way other than paypal sorted for donations.
cheers matt
Donated but still get the message...
Donated....
Whats a £5 or a £10 in the £2k plus (and lot more in some case) added to your project costs.
You could not buy the help you get on here for 10 times that!!
Come along chaps... Cough up.. You know it makes sense.
PS.. I will still talk ot one and all... contributor or not.
Edit:
If you contributed, and you account hasnt changed, a quick Email to chris should sort it, I had too.

The reminder page works off your tag. Hence because scotlads says half wit, he will still get the nag. Its just something that chris said he was working on. Those who have contributed but not been upgraded (ie the dontate nag removed) just email chris and tell him which email address you sent payment from. He said recently that there were quite a few he couldnt identify.
I did but still get the message.
Mailed Chris but I guess he has lots on at the moment.

I want to keep my Marklar tag, Chris says he's looking into ways to just leave it and deactivate the nag screen. It doesn't bother me anyway, I can ignore it.
Just made my donation feeling like ive made the right disision and feeling good about myself like ive done something good for the country and the
children, oh hang on no thats children in need.
Anyway hopefully should receive my contribution tag soon so i can now proudly post.

Well the rebel in me aint contributed. I don`t like getting a can rattled in my face as it don`t happen like that on any other group forums.
If we all put in 5 or 10 quid we could prolly BUY the forum.
Lastly until The Wizard of Oz removes this Mantra at the bottom of my posts my position remains.

Not that you will care but IMO that's a pretty sucky attitude. The expertise and information given within this forum is worth ten of any other forums I use. Why do you expect something for nothing?
And FWIW it 'do' happen like that on other forums. In fact on some you have limited posting privileges (i.e. no classified, no technical stuff etc.) until you subscribe.

I donated.
- Its the only forum i ever have, and it sort of goes against the (personaly) of forums been free to use.
- I know you can use it without, and there are a few which have some sections you cant get to without. To name one, WSCC fs/wtd area.
I would imagine/hope/expect that the add banner actaully provides sufficent funding and that all the donations go stright into profit.
But yeah, i coughed up just to get rid of the banner.
The forum i co-run (www.canalworld.net) is free to use and add-free funded fully out of the pocket of the site
