In refer to prior request for support post
« on: October 27, 2006, 09:44:41 am »
I am deeply saddened by the turn that post took
yesterday. I seen sides of people had you been my kids
you'd be rubbing your backsides still today  >:(   ;)

1) If anyone wants info on a request for help,
what is so wrong with that??????
To me that is being a good steward of your money.
It doesn't make one a trader or accusing.

2) There is also nothing wrong with not wanting to give out certain info. Maybe they PM it to those who ask.

Now that being said, I also personally know running a web site is  LOT OF WORK and we're talking hours and hours a day. I know, I've run one and it wasn't a 1/10th amount of action this site is and it was to say the least overwhelming at times. When you run a site like this there is no day off. And you spend a lot of time trying to referee adults that act less mature than most kids we all know.

Also free web sites don't allow folks unlimited hits and
bandwith or whatever they call it.

I find this site wonderful, full of information and help.
Look at just the other day someone was going to need to board their dog a month and already has kind folks willing to keep the dog in their home rather than see it go to boarding.
How many times do you see people offering encouragement, help, transportation and more?
Pulling dogs from shelters for each other?
My favorite is if I see someone who is whining or
acting silly I can bluntly say so and admin doesn't get on my case for it.
All the above issues are the makings of a great cyber family support group.
Let's not ruin it ok?

Now with that being said heres more  ;D
Even if 100 of us sent $10. that is only 1,000
and I don't know anyone who can fatten their wallets
on a mear 1,000 a month after paying web site costs.
Heck my rent alone is close to that let alone food, utilities, auto payments, insurance, etc.
So fattening wallets I don't see as even a close issue here.

What I would personally like to challenge folks here to do,
now that I have an idea of an approx amount it cost to keep this site going per month.
I will match the first 25 donations of $5. DURING the month of Novemeber.
Not much but it is what I can do.
So if up to 25 of you donate $5 support to this site, I'll in turn double that $5. donation up to 25 times.

I am truly impressed with this board.
I've never seen so many willing to jump up and help
each other.

I didn't say monthly
I said during the month of Novemeber.  ;)

I understand the whole thing.
I understand they don't ask all the time
and that they pay a lot out of their own pockets.
