Normspeed Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Glad it's not my computer. I'm due to send in a donation too. I'd better do it soon, because the spendthrifts in the CA legislature have once again failed to put away for a rainy day and the state is looking at 10% across the board funding cuts next fiscal year. Bunch of clowns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Lustig Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I didn't realize it'd been so long since I made my last donation! Unfortunately, the date by my name was correct, so I went ahead and made a small donation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Belvedere Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Just curious, what does it take financially speaking to run a site like this? I have made a couple paypal donations to the site as I know others have as well I think maybe the list is only anually updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I just sent GTK a PM about how to go about an auction with funds raised going to the forum. I've got my old spot light and a 1941 plymouth owners manual that could both go on the block. I know we used to do the auctions on the old site and they went over well. Ed, you can do it two ways. Either have the buyer pay you, then you make the donation. Or........have the buyer make a direct donation for payment of the item and shipping charges to you. I sold a couple of auction items like that on the old forum. Both times I had the buyer send the money direct to GTK and I paid the freight on at least one of those. In my case though the buyer's got the credit for the donation, but........who cares since the important thing was the donation was made.

Normspeed Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Not sure of the cost, but the nicest thing about sponsoring our own forum is, no advertisements! Some of the forums I've visited, you can hardly read due to the popups and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Norm I got that part. I was mainly asking for a good place to put the ad for it. Also maybe this new forum software has a cool way of doing an auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ed, I don't think there is any other way to do it than right here on the regular forum. Can't use the Poll system because it only allows a person to vote once, so the bidders would only get one bid that way. I wouldn't put it in the Parts section because I don't think many people look at that on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat1955 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah, now that I look, mine says the last entry was in march....yet I know I threw a few bucks in not long after I joined in August....maybe it is updated periodically. But then, are't the archive discs available with a donation? I haven't seen those yet...hmmmm, maybe I should check Paypal and make sure my donation transaction completed. Speaking of contributions, maybe my cookies are corrupted or something, but when I go to the contribution info, it shows nothing contributed since March 2007. I think I sent a few meager bucks after that. Do you folks see the same date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
