"Hopefully" I can get this posted. I'm going through severe LB Forum withdrawl..my fingers shake, my vision is blurred, I have a headache and my heart is palpitating...
: seriously though....I know we all are frustrated and and no one more so than our own ML.
I wondered...remember Caroline's $3 crusade to help CMHR? Why can't we do the same thing for Mary Lou to help afford the updates? I can't imagine the costs involoved in doing this for her but I imagine it is a huge expense. OK, I know many buy banners, ad space, and such and that "helps" but I feel that we could, maybe this one time, do more to help a place we call home. I miss coming here with my morning tea, lunch, supper, before bed, any other random time :new_shocked: cuz I can't log in or it won't come up, or it hiccups and dies.
How about a $5 crusade to help Mary Lou update our forum? I figure with all the members we have here (and there are ALOT of us) at $5 a piece that'll come to a pretty nice chunck a change? This forum, this site, is a precious gift for us to share and while I am sure it gives ML great pleasure to see it grow like a child, it also costs like a growing child and gives troubles like one to boot. Can we do this? If ML has a PayPal acct it would be so easy to send that little $5.
If anyone else has ideas please fire away, tho I think an auction or sale just takes too long and is so much work, this is simple and easy! Checks could be sent directly to ML marked "for forum".
BTW did you ever scroll down to the bottom of the main page and see this:
Our members have made a total of 402531 posts
We have 4374 registered members
IF 1/2 of those members participated in this drive (so to speak) it would equal $10, 935, now realistically probably only 1/2 of that might co-operate and that would equal $5, 465 Now that would be helpful wouldn't it? That's about 1,000+ members helping out. Now being really realistic, say 500 members, plus or minus, are really active and would put in $5 each....that would be around $2500. Even that would help maybe?
If I am out of line just slap me up and I'll hush. :saludando:
