Stars vs. Trophies

[2003 MIB]

Logan will probably delete this and that's okay with me. I think we should all have trophies instead of stars. If you can afford it, contribute to the site. It's the right thing to do. I hope that didn't sound too much like NPR.

[GarageMahal]

I don't disagree at all.

(edit: I believe my trophies are pending)

[Slowpoke]

what does stars and trophies mean anyway? does this translate into horspower or something?

Trophies = contributing member ($$)

[Logan]

Trophies signify a contributing member.

What would it take to make this a club? :beer: I think it's got everything except a magazine, which isn't needed cause of the internet. :rock: Then everyone would be giving the same amout $$ whenever it was needed. :D
Then again what do I know....... :shot:

Then again what do I know....... :shot:While that might work in some instances, it might exclude some folks, not being able to afford the extra dough. Vendors are also supporting this site. The intent is to share questions, knowledge and information and I think we do an outstanding job doing just that!

What do you pay annually for a magazine subscription with 12 issues or even a weekly? Compare that to 24x7x365 access to ever-changing information. Either let the collection basket pass you buy, or make a contribution. There's never been pressure from Logan for donations. The choice is yours.

I think Bunny's right (duh- that's like saying, "Oxygen is good."). I don't want anyone to go away but wanted to raise an awareness that there is no "free" site. Somebody (vendors, members, Logan) has to pay for the bandwidth etc...It seemed like a good idea to discuss after such a major site upgrade.
We're pretty lucky folks to have this place... ;)

I do have a subscription system that automates the whole dealio, which I'll be setting up shortly. It'll have varying levels of contributions in there for everyone.

It'll also be a way for people to automagically "purchase" more space/privileges/etc on the site...

Dag Nabit Loganmeister! When I asked, you told me if you ever needed or wanted contributions you would say so and I could throw some coin in da pot. Am I the only one blissfully going through life and missing out on my obligations? If so I duly apologize and will upchuck with the 'Bread"
at once or when the "subscription" becomes available.

This site is the best thanks to Logan. He has never pressured anyone for a donation. IMO Give what you can to support this site. :up:

This site is the best thanks to Logan. He has never pressured anyone for a donation. IMO Give what you can to support this site. :up:
I frankly feel there are 3 important ways to contribute to the site:

The true value of this site is found in the...
Content....the miriad of posts, insights, experiances, "how-to's", etc. posted here make this a very valuable place. One way to contribute is by posting USEFULL threads and replies. That doesn't mean it need to be "all business" here...but...think before you start a thread..."Is this going to enlighten the experiance of owning the car, inform fellow owners...or just give them a chuckle. Nothing wrong with any of those or variance of each...I have seen more and more "useless" threads lately though and as soon as I can figure out how to make the ignore button ignore those threads so I don't have to "weed through them"...I'll be alright.

Support of our Sponsors....whether you buy a Trilogy Supercharger, Stage#? from Dennis, or just a dead pedal from Kenny Brown...you are contributing. I frankly believe there is not 1 thing from any of the fine vendors here that does not belong on every Marauder. Even if you're worried about the dreaded "Warranty" question...there are things here you should buy from the vendors that will have NO negative effect on that. So do some biz with the fine folks we are lucky enough to have supporting the site.

Donations to the Site...it's never been mandatory or thrown in our face...it's just there. And if you feel good about using the resources here be it info in threads, direct responses/help from our sponsors or the shear ability to have access here...and NOT feel you need to kick a little in....then I'm glad I don't have to stare into that face in the mirror in the morning.

Cool......more trophies.....I'm in. :banana2:
We are competitive aren't we? :lol:

[Bigdogjim]

Well we drive Marauder's don't we?:)

[Petrograde]

Well said TAF! Even I ponied up a few bucks! :lol: I wonder how long it takes for the stars to turn to trophies....

[JamesHecker]

So if contributing members have trophys...why do I have only stars?

Did my checks bounce? :bigcry:
