Some of the newer members (and even some not so new members) here may be wondering about those "Checkered Flags" flying under some MM.Net member screenname/avatars. Like ^^^^^. Those flags denote a contributing member.

New members accumulate "stars" with their avatar based on the number of posts. Those stars convert to flags when you become a contributing supporter for the site.

MM.Net relies on your contributions, voluntary donations and those of the vendor sponsors to keep the lights on in this place. Without your help .... the unthinkable could happen. I support MM.Net because I believe in the site ... in what it has become over the years ... and for the info sharing and comaraderie that makes this place tick.

Your donation gives you access to the "Members Only Forum", some extra space in the photo gallery, the ability to do multiple PMs, and some other stuff. But most of all .... it guarantees that the site is up and running when you need it.

Moreover, these contributions/donations help to defray some of the costs and expenses for Marauder gatherings on the national or regional level held throughout the year (e.g. Maraudervilles, SSHS9, Carlisle, Louisville, etc.) If you have had the oportunity to attend any of these events over the years, you know that the benefit is returned to the membership many times over. At Marauderville 7 this year, MM.Net covered the cost of Indy photos and certificates and entry to the Indy Hall of Fame. MM.Net sponsored the trophies awarded at Indianapolis and at Carlisle. MM.Net sponsored and paid for the Marauder tent at Carlisle and supplied drinks, botted water and snacks for 3 days. At Louisville, MM.Net covers the cost of entry into some of the venues and sponsors the weekend breakfast gathering. If you have attended any of these events, you know what you get with membership. If you haven't attended one of these events ..... get yourself motivated.

Of course, donations are not mandatory. You can play anytime you wish. But if you want to get those contributing member flags -- a contribution would help.

Thanks to MM.Net, our supporting Vendors and to our Contributing Membership for making this one of the best sites on the Net.

Think about it and do what you can, if you can. Get yourself some flags.

Thanks for listening.

Thank you Charlie! Hope to see more flags flying. (If/when members can make it happen.) Times are tough for many. I figure since it's one of my favorite ways to pass some time (checking in on new info about my car and checking up on my friends), it's something I choose to support financially. And as you pointed out Charlie, I get my money back many times over! It's one of the best investments I've made!! LOL

Click on the link >>>>> http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/payments.php and it takes you to your current membership status page and gives an expiration date. It does for me. :D

You'll know when it's time, kinda does a Cinderella thingy; flags turn into stars at the stroke of midnight.

Heck no! Just start posting up a bunch in inane crap about VW Phaetons, converting your car to AWD or installing a CVT transmission in it to improve your consistency at the drag strip and you'll be there in no time at all...:rolleyes:

I think a flag should be a key to any of the free raffles ( and awards) that the site has at any of our events.
Listen folks this site gives and gives to it's members and if your apart of this site you should have at-least one FLAG by your name!

Chap you left out and takes and takes, some of us have to be driving the mods nutty at times, that's part of the reason I donate, just for putting up with some of my posts. The other part is all the free info. Priceless.

"That's what she said!" is what CBT would have said if he'd seen this first. Anyways, just trying out my new flag.

P.S. Can't wait to Marauderville VIII. See y'all in Charlotte, SC.

After saving a fortune fixing my EATC for FREE because of this site, I had to do something in return.

I'm sorry, but this site has already cost me over $9000...and you know what what? It was worth every penny. When I first joined, I didn't even have a Marauder, I had a lowly Mustang. But I ahd friends that had Marauders, so I was kind of like the little brother that hung around. Before my second trip to Louisville, I had to donate, it was such a great time the first time, and these people treat us so good at these meets.

But it got my mouth watering for a Marauder, and it was a taste I could not get rid of, so I bought my Marauder for $9K, thanks mm.net, I never would ahve done it without this great site and great people. And it reminds me, it's time to donate again. :beer:
