Donation Observation
« on: May 17, 2008, 01:33:24 pm »
Ok guys I know that the extreme crew would not say this but as a member of this group I beleive I can.

We all come here for advice, help and conversation. Its all free of charge and donations are optional.
.
I am sure the donation target covers only the basic operation of the forums and server. These guys work long and hard to bring us a great mod and help when we need it. The least we can do is help support the basic's. If each of us that come here on a daily basis gave just $5 a month everything would be covered and then some.

So what do yall say? Its the end of the month guys check the donation status.

Alvin

P.S.

If this gets pulled thats ok by me I just wanted to express my thoughts on the subject.

The sad part here is.............

The Donation Module is only set to HALF what is really required to keep the website, FTP, test servers, etc etc up and running.

OK... I did a little research.

There are 1700 members here. Only 120 have made 20 or more posts.

IF those 120 and anyone one else who APPRECIATES the help they have received here (either through direct posted questions OR just LEARNING more by reading the posts) donated $5 (one small trip to McDonalds)
that's $600......

Come on guys.... I think it's time we give back to help support those who so freely give of their knowledge and TIME..................................

I hope I'm not disappointed but so far I have not been encouraged....
I'd sure hate to see the site disappear...

Yeah...$5 could make a difference.

Ok now we are at 100 views and only 2 of us got the nads to donate.

Here is another challenge, everyone that downloads to next version of the best COD 4 mod avalible can donate $10 and I put in a $1 to match it.

The only way to get credit is to make the $10 donation with your name then post to this posting saying hey I put in my $10, I will verify and then make the match.

I will nominate Pat Man, Gixer or Cruz to tally if they accept the challenge to be judges on the match amount.

I am not rich so $10 = $1

What ya say, I know yall are all just waiting to bust some arse with that 130 these guys modded for ya.

OK Alvin

Your on. I just donated another $20. I want BOTH new mods and don't mind donating $10 a piece for them. This is my way of showing my appreciation for all the hard work that is going on to make these new mods. I'm not rich either but I feel it's well worth it. Hell..I paid $50 for the game.....

I'll go one step further.... I'll go in with you on the $1 for every verified $10 donation for the downloads. That way you aren't burdened with the extra $10 you might have to cough up...lol

Let's hope it's more than that and maybe Joker will let us pay so much a month and not expect it all at once...rotflamo   :P  :P  :P

Ok Gomer here we go,

Looks like we are going in on halfs so we owe the crew $2.  I will add my donations in increments of even numbers starting at $20 so as not to create havic at paypal, will that work for you?

Alvin owes the crew a buck so far, if my math sux let me know.

Joker what are our payment options here?

LMAO ..............Alvin

Come on ye nad-less wonders.........................

Most of you guys have probably NEVER seen this. If you LOOK at the top of the main page you'll see at the top call DONATIONS.
Here's what it says on that page from the eXtreme Crew.....

We Need Your Help
We are a non-profit organization completely supported by you, the members. Many organizations have web sites, servers and Internet bandwidth donated by it's members. We pride ourselves on being run and owned as a community, and not by a few power-hungry members. This means that we need you to be a part of that community. We encourage every member to contribute to the community in any way that they can. Since we do not have our servers or bandwidth donated, we have to pay our bills every month to keep things going. For those of you who can, we ask that you make a monetary contribution in whatever denomination you'd like. Every little bit counts.


IF we don't help guess who pays the bills. The Extreme Crew.
Pretty good deal huh??? WE get GREAT, FREE ADVICE and THEY
get GREAT BILLS!!!

Come on guys...you can't ALL be on welfare.....can you????

Time to dip into the Subway account....   Subway you say....
You know......5.....5.......$5....foot long.......
Just miss one of those puppies and you too can make a donation....
