have donated
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??)
The above comments are always meant to be from the above persons perspective.

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'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
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

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.

1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

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 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.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You don't have to have a PayPal account to make a payment with PP. Don't know when they changed this, but glad that they did (good for
small businesses that can't afford merchant accounts).
I contributed at least two years ago, so it's not an annual thing.
C'mon, you cheap @sses, ante up!

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.
