I kick in $10.00 if Auex will drop his Ipod bashing for a week. Not that I care, but I think it will kill him to do it.

oops. sorry. I didn't realize that K was talking about donating to the12volt. I thought he meant to the individual person that provides the information.

Just wondering: Does the12volt want/need more sponsors?

I'm all in favor of sponsors, but keep the pop-ups OUT! OK? (This includes pop-UNDERS!!!)

I also donated my $10.00 - Twice. It was worth it.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I'm in favor of stickying this subject for awhile. I'd like to see the results. There are one or two info threads that could be replaced on the first page...

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

i hope y'all realized i was joking.... i would never refer to myself as a "pro"....unless we are talking beer consumption....the only people i figured would have a problem with this whole premise were the "advice givers".... you know, the " i've installed lots of stuff for my sisters neighbours cousins uncle "

could you imagine if everytime you gave an uneducated opinion it cost you a buck?? forums like this wouldnt even need advertisers.....

actually i expected far more outrage from the "know it alls".....lol hey it was 5:30 on a Friday afternoon and after filtering thru some of the silly responses i had read i thought...hhhmmm "what if"

The "silly responses" as you so politely put it always crank up this time of year all across the web. School's out, you know.

being an "old geezer" i dont follow the school trends.... it was just one of those "if i had a buck for every dumb answer" things.... dont get me wrong... i encourage everyone the forum has helped to chip in a buck if they can.....

but could you imagine if everytime someone posted an unsubstantiated, uninformed opinion a dollar was donated to the forum?? wow!!!

Hell, I'll drop 10 too. I think its a great idea, but if I gave a dollar for every peice of info gained from this site, then how would I ever buy any equipment? We Market Knowledge - Page 2 -- posted image.

Thanks for the donations guys! They are much appreciated :) Your names have been added to the list.

any of the full time pros like myself on this forum know that essentially what we do on a daily basis is market knowledge.....

kgerry, while I appreciate your intent by creating this topic, I don't want any member to feel obligated to make a donation because of a discussion on the topic or to think that we are hustling donations. If anyone does make a donation, they should do so only because they found this site to be of some value and for no other reason.

...It's a good idea, but that kind of defeats the purpose of internet forums. Which is to have the FREE exchange of information

My intention has always been to provide the information we share on this site free of charge and we will continue to provide it free of charge.

Yes, we always want/need more sponsors.

No, there will never be any pop-up or pop-under ads.

With the sponsors and new ads we now have in place along with the donations we receive, I'm happy to say this site should begin covering it's monthly operating expenses by the end of this month and eventually allow me to make improvements and add more features.

Thanks for all the financial support you and many others have given and for the valuable information you've shared in these forums. Without many of you, this site wouldn't be the same ...Cheers!
