Board Donations

Board donations
Talked to Larry and the board is bogging down some due to bandwidth issues. To go to a dedicated server, which will be much faster and keep us from having to go back and delete posts, it would cost $80.00 a month. That would be $4.00 a month from 20 members. I know there's at least 20 posters here that would or should be willing to pay that much, and I'm pretty sure many more than that would pitch in - the more people, the less bucks. If we get 40, thats $2.00 per person a month. I'm willing to pay at least $4.00, and I'll send in $50.00 for a whole year right away if we can get enough people. So I'm posting this poll to see what everybody thinks. If we get at least 20 yes's, it's a go. The board would be superfast and we probably wouldn't have to upgrade again for a long time.

Also, Larry said we can even get another e-mail address if we go to a dedicated server - [email protected]

I enjoy reading some of the comments more than posting. You can count on me for an annual "subscription".

Count me in for a year too. Tell me hgow much and where to mail check....

Old Coot says Hell yes.......................

i set up two ways for you to spend your hard-earned beer/pron money. anyone who contibutes funds will get a special notice here (unless you want to remain anonymous).

the snail mail address is:


Larry Davidson
c/o TBR.com
8126 Viburnum Ct.
Tallahassee, FL 32312


it's mighty nice of you folks to want to help out. anything you contribute will go solely to the costs incurred by this board (unless we decide to set yup something along the lines of what VG proposed, but we could have a special link for those).

also, when we move to a dedicated server, we'll be able to set up personalized e-mails for all the donating members with a "thisboardrocks" address (ie: [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]).

i think T-shirts and mousepads are a great idea. be on the lookout for a distributor.

thanks everyone. i'm sending in my $50 right now.
