Calling on COAR members.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Many of you here do tremendous things to help other members and even for complete strangers, many of us here reap the benefit of gaining general and specific knowledge regarding info we're interested in finding out about. And people here help you find that stuff out. I've seen the members here bend over backwards for people, and I've seen Staff help people out a bunch of times, not to mention this recent attack on the forum, when folks here were really trying hard to get the board back right, spending endless hours, even while on vacation with family.

The point I'm getting to, is that I joined here in Feb. this year, and made a donation to the board in march. The people and the help here impressed me. I noticed that when I went to make a donation again, yesterday...I noticed that 24 members had taken the time to donate to this board in almost seven months time period.

Out of everyone here posting, that's like one person a week who decided to kick a buck.

I'm just a member here, like the rest of us...I really think we could be doing a little better with helping our board stay strong and staying alive, with some resources to help it overcome emergency problems when they arise....and whatever else might happen in the future. I say, invest in this board that we appreciate....so send a few bucks if ya can, and show it.

I'm not rich, but even $10 a year maybe?....just my take on helping to support this place.

Thanks for your time.

And of all his posts all he got was the t shirt.

Your doing a good thing.
Sofar all the members here support each other and give each other a hand.
It's absolutely amazing how we all can pitch in and make a difference.

I'm sure glad I belong to this outstanding community!

any chance we can donate via paypal? I've got some $$$ in there I can throw down. I meant to do this a while back and of course life and everything else gets in the way and my mind wanders a bit. If anybody needs to donate, its me.

Is there a reason you think the site is low on money?

Exactly. If the balance gets shady, I'm sure another call to action will be made and alot of us will re-up.... And sniper7 can mean to do it for real....

I always mean to do it for real, even when I don't!

Of course, they'll need to get their SSL certificate back in place for real as well before then.

The site is doing fine with money.

In fact, donations have been such that they have covered almost all of the hosting costs over the last year, which is nice for me to not have to pay it out of pocket. Hopefully the same will be true of the coming year.

The SSL certificate has been renewed as well.
