Help support the Board (Updated with Mailing Address)
 

Hey Guys, I'm sorry to say that the Money collected last time around has been depleted (between hassling with the bank and upgrades it ran out a few months ealier than I expected). I am going to have to ask for donations again, I hate to do it, but right now I cant support the board myself, and the ads are making almost nothing. I will most likely remove the ads in november when my contract with the ad provider runs out. If I do remove the ads, I will be upfront in telling you guys I am going to take some of this money for my own personal use, most likely for my truck. Anyway, the donation info is as follows:

Paypal email addres has changed to: chevy69@grandecom.net

Please include your board name. If you would like a "Contributor" line added under your Post Counter, please say if you do or don't. Also don't be alarmed if the paypal confirm email has the name of Donald Brady, it's a shared account I have.

I set up a hack that puts a simple "contributor" under your Post counter, if you previously donated please PM me if you would like for the Contributor status to be added.

Edit: I have a mailing address now.

Please send Checks or Money Orders (Postal prefered) to:

Joshua Brady
PO Box 7411
Midland, TX 79708

No problem, I gave last time and I will give again. But I would like to send you a money order (not set up for paypal). Please let me know when you can recieve mail. Thanks for the great board and all of the hard work, Joe

When I have the capabilities for money orders, I will make a post with all the details. I hope to have it all setup before the end of the month.

Count me in. I'll donate in a week or two. I donated last time, but not sure if I want a title under my name yet. I'll pm you if I want it.

No problem Josh. At the very least you should get a decent truck out of all of this. You've made alot of good stuff happen here and I always say what goes around comes around. I'll be donating again.

Thanks guys, I added what the contributor title looks like to my account. It's right under the Post Counter.

Sure, If $5 will suffice

I'm new, but really enjoy the board, so count me in as a contribitor.

Done deal you have pay-pal mail!! Keep on Truckin!!!!

Hey Josh, How about a "heck of a deal" on webhosting? I'll contribute either way as this is the best board I've ever been on :D

Maybe cutting costs on hosting would help you?
PM me, email me or call me and I'll see what I can do for you.

How Much you need? I am not Bill Gates, nor is anyone else on this board, but if everyone who posts more than once a week gave a Lincoln, would that help?

I contirbuted $25.00 the last time around. You said then you would add the "contributor" status. I emailed you three times but it never happened.

Money has been sent through paypal.

Re: Help support the Board
 

Is this because nobody is going to these ads? What is the ratio of clicks on ads vs dollars for board? Maybe alot of users just aren't aware that the ads actually bring income to help support this site:confused:

count me in....
 

Josh....
let me know when I can mail you stuff!!!!!

Guys...the Business card that I will be making soon...it'll come out of my pocket..but whatever I get from whoever wants some will go straight to this board!!!

here we go...
 

The next part i sell from my parts truck will go to the board...

That's a good idea SWINGSAX68. If someone buys my bed listed in the for sale section,I'll give that money to the board. I'll go change it to best offer. Whatever it brings is what the board gets.

Count me in when you can accept money orders. Hey what parts do you need for your truck anyway? Do you take contributions in truck parts? lol! I bet you could get alot that way!

I'll try and get the paypal thing figured out, but if i can't figure out how to use it, I'll be sending you a MO as soon as you get it set up.

I wont be here much anymore but i have some goodies i can sell here and donate the proceeds.maybe a little auction on rare parts,and all the money be sent to Josh???Anyone up to bid on a cruise,am/fm,tilt,buckets,a motor? be a good chunk of change for the board.ive enjoyed about 3 years here,and hopefully other will,if you need more clicks on banners lets all click the sh!t out of them!!

Done...very worthy cause. If we all sent in 1/2 of what we have saved in the cost of parts and other help from what we have received from this board it would go a long way :)

Worth every cent!

Josh?
 

How many members actually donated the last time?

Count me in. I'm ready to mail my donation as soon as your set up for money by mail. We need to do what we can to help this board stay alive and healthy. I can't imagine not having this board to keep up with the 67-72 addiction I have got to get my fix hourly......

Thanks for the support everyone.

Mudder, I dont have an exact number, but somewhere around 150+/- donated last time.

Just wondering, what does it cost to run this board for a month / year or whatever?

I'm sure we don't want to go to a pay per use or monthly charge, I know alot of people would get discouraged by that, but it in not fair for only a couple of members to pay our way either.

Josh let me know when you can recieve money orders as well. I will have it in US dollars.

Hey Josh, I'll be glad to contribute, but I'll be just as up front with you---if the ads go, I'll no longer be interested. I like to chat, and I've learned a lot on here, but the parts are my main interest! I'm sure you're out of pocket on this, but perhaps if you were even more upfront with where the money is going? Or have I misunderstood something? An in-depth explanation might go a long way.

Smitty I think he's referring to the advertisement banners at the top of the pages, etc. and not the classifieds. :)

Smitty...i think Josh is refering to the ads at the top of the pages (the ones that flash and what-not)....not the ads we post for selling or wanting to buy parts....or the ads for the suppliers......

They are coorect, it's hte banner ads at the top of the page I am going to remove, not the parts boards, they're one of the busiest sections of the board.

Josh ;
Donated last time will donate again , Have you thought about having somemore decals made ? I would like some White one's .


Thanks Bill:bowtie: :flag:

Please post when you are able to accept USPS, I don't have paypal. I'm in. TF

All good points, 68burb.

Donate however much the board is worth to you. That way everyone gets their money's worth. :)

I will donate as well but I refuse to use Pay Pal (too many issues with their policies). As soon as you can take money by mail, I will definitely send some cash !

L@TeZ,

Charlie

Just tell me where to send a money order/ cashiers check etc. Only too happy to help...
Jake

You can count me in too Joah. Just let me know when your set up for the mail/money order thing and where to send it

Sorry I mean Josh...

I only fix computers...I still don't type worht a flip. Some one has got to quit moving my keys around. I'm going to look worse than I am.

:D

I dont post much but I have learned alot from reading posts. I usually spend 2 hours a night on here. I dont have much money but I will paypal some money in two weeks. Maybe we could send a little each month I know that would be easier for me.

Count me in, post the address and I will try to get this board some money, not the richest brat in the world so don't build your hopes up.

Well put Chris. It seems in alot of posts people are quick to critisize the board when things go wrong. Yet not as many thank Josh and the other moderators for a job well done. If we had to pay for the hours put in by them , not many of us could afford to be here. This is not meant to bash anyone, just mho.

Sure Josh, I'll help with the info and fun this is it's worth a few bucks now and then. I've learned more since Feb. than I have in years plus meeting some great people. If everyone would give some pocket change that would add up. Don't mind helpin' at all :bowtie: :flag: :bowtie:
