Help For Rich Z

THOR · 09-04-2007, 10:00 PM

I would like to suggest that we all help Rich fund this Forum. He has devoted his time and money so that we all benefit. I think it's time we give back so that he can continue to enhance and improve the Servers.
I don't know what it cost to run this Forum and so I would suggest membership fees as followed: 15-20.00 a year per household or 100-150.00 for a lifetime membership. Perhaps with this fee structure, there can be some extra perks as well.
Obviously this isn't written in stone and Rich Z always has the final say.
Hopefully this will spark some interest and debate.
What do you all think? Mark

Mark, put your business up on this site, that would help.

Let's get more vendors on here to support it and have members donate as an option (supporting member, etc.) so it will grow as the other sites have.

I totally agree.

WOW!

When I read this thread topic line, I thought someone needed MY help.....

I think that more vendors is a good thing.I also think that std members should not pay but if you want to be a supporting member you may contribute.The fees listed by Mark are in line.Will I get a $100 worth of enjoyment out of this forum in my lifetime -I think so.

Mark and Tracy are exactlly on track IMO

Supporting a site should be voluntary. Vendors and advertisers should support it.

I'm in if/when Rich decides to move forward with the idea

..There's a few things in the works!!

Im glad to see that this has sparked some interest. I think all the comments are going in a postive direction. Standard membership without dues sounds good. A fee for supporting members (perhaps with a few perks as enticement) sounds better. Lifetime membership (with extra perks as well) would certainly attract a few die hard fans of this Forum.
Also many thanks to the vendors and advertisers who help keep this Forum going.
Please keep the comments coming so that the moderators can see how we all feel about this.
