Supporting Membership --- Get some Flags

[cat in the hat]

Perhaps it is time for the elite to start their own "paid up" members only site?

Those of us with limited {average} incomes with a couple teenagers who want a to post-secondary education, who struggle to paid the bills monthly, who really should not drive a MM as a corolla fits the budget better, don't belong here?

There are other sites with tens of thousands of members who will offer automotive advice, without looking for flags?

I wouldn't at all be offended with being dropped as a member here, go for it.

WTF?

WTF x 1,000 ?

Alright I can take a hint

[Bluerauder]

Huh? Try to create an issue where there isn't one?

Not the first time.

I speak for the silent majority, f-it, bye.

Sniff ...

So... um... no Thin Mints then?

I am sorry if I pushed you to Write that post up about the flags and what not . We all blow a little steam here and there so let's not get to crazy with you leaving the site and you'r membership here on mm.net. Were a family here and everyone's help is a amazing here on the site . I am sure you helped out members in the past . I helped a member that needed a head light so i shiped him a brand new one in the box for free. Also I am sure you have got help from other members on this amazing site .

I just really wanted to show my love to the site that has gave so much love and respect to me in a short time here on the site .

I see the 25.00 dollors I gave as a small helping hand to keep this site up and running for years to come .

People spend more than that on coffee at DD in the morning before work.

Sorry again if I set you off

So not one post in this thread warrants a response like this. Trying to increase donations for a site we love to keep it going is a good thing.

Have you ever been to a large meet? (I'll bet the answer is no) you would see how much money the site puts up to make it happen. Do you think all the things that go in to running a site are free?

That having been said, no one has ever been excluded whether they contribute or not.

Maybe you just bored because there are no more political threads for you to stir the pot, so your doing so here

Of you can't afford a Marauder, go ahead buy a Corolla, still welcome here.

Can't afford a donation? (Though I'd question why you can then afford internet) don't donate still welcome

No one has ever displayed an elitist attitude on this site whether you have stars or flags

I think you're a rabble rouser and are just looking to stir the pot. Shame on us, we took the bait and gave you exactly what you wanted

Congratulations on making it to 8 years old

One other thing Kernie, you don't have to be dropped, you can leave at anytime

My donation was not for the sole purpose of having flags or given with the intent to join an 'elitist' group....I only feel guilty for not doing it sooner.

It's the least I can do to help keep the lights on in a community that has given to me more than I ever expected, and not just MM-related stuff.

Whether you want to donate or not, that's your choice, Kernie; you are a member of this website in either case.

Yes, there are threads out there that harp on contributions, but you must realize that any organization has to pass the hat once in a while.

Maybe there is something else at play gentlemen. Kernie has become much more involved and quite frankly easier to deal with in the last year. I think most of his pot stirring days are a thing of the past, as I remember him that way.

Maybe just let the dust settle here and let it go. I can tell some of you have had some run ins with him as well as I, but I still feel he has made a good attempt at change.

If its financial, believe me, I have been there! It can make you spew hate too easily. Maybe I am wrong? Hope you decide to stick around.

O.K. I'm over it!

Who said anyone doesn't belong here because they don't have flags???

You told me that back in 2001. Dammit, I been paying for 12 years and I didn't need to be?

[MMcactusflower]

Many thanks for all this info about stars and flags and such...I really did not know about that business before now...
What I have known and experienced for the couple of years I have been on this site is that I have received invaluable information whenever I asked questions about my MM ownership/repairs/add on parts/et al and have been very grateful for it all.
I have also been able to share some information with others at times and hope that info has been helpful to those folks.
I will continue to participate here...and will in future, donate what I can to help support and maintain this valuable resourse for those of us who love these cars.
Thanks again to everybody who has written to help me with my 'projects' on my '04 DTR. I appreciate your help every time I log on.
