Thanks guys.. Brad, that might be possible.. we will check into it and let you know. I do know for sure that when I go to another forum, and click on the Chevy truck banner ad, it comes up with a local dealer.. but I am not sure when it makes that decison, before it shows the banner, or when I click... Talking with Bucy, all ads will click to a page defined by the advertiser.. We will get all that figured out. JW
Jim, I made a contribution about a week ago. It was via PayPal from nopukeonme.com. I haven’t see my name on the list as of yet. Thanks, Allen Mandeen
As long as the banner ads are not Facebook like in intensity it is a good way to make some extra coin. The model in most web related endeavors is to give the content away until you have an audience and market then start collecting for it - generally from advertisers, not from users. Good luck. I sent my donation today.
I did receive it Allen, and will update the list here at the end of the month. Thanks to everyone who has, and continues to support the board. JW
Sean, You must have missed the first post in this thread.. We will be adding banner ads this year.. because we are silly not to.. there is potential funding in our board to do another event, which I have always wanted to do, just did not have the 20-30K to risk on it. If that changes your decision to donate, let me know, I will send the funds right back. Thanks to all of you who have continued to support the board during this time of transition.. (no ads yet). JW
No worries Jim it’s all good yes I was in a rush and didn’t read it all... no worries on the $ it’s all good. I appreciate the new format, it works great and easy to use and upload pics.. way better than before. Keep up the great work!
Jim, made my donation on Jan 4, any chance it will be recognized in the next week or two? thanks Chuck
I'll be keeping up with the donations, ads or no ads. If the funds improve the board and provide members with events and/or some nice swag, so much the better.
List is updated, thanks again to everyone how has helped out this year. With Bucy traveling for business,and me working hard to keep up with it all, we have not persued the ad sales quite yet..the first one you will see with actually be an ad for TSP, we will use that to test the nuts and bolts of the system. That should happen later here in Feb.
I piched in a little as well, I don't post much but I do read a lot, the knowledge here is amazing, I swear I learn something new everyday, that alone is invaluable. Thanks for having me. Ken
And thank you for the contribution Ken it's much appreciated. I will be updating the contributors list on the last day of every month from now on.. juts an FYI for everyone. JW
Since I was new last year, but had lurked for a while prior, I'll send something in (Via MO as I'd prefer to remain anonymous) regardless. No ads are nice, but so would be another naional event, whether it be in addition to or (preferably) in lieu of the GSCA Nationals, which seems to have run it's course based on going last year after a 20 year hiatus. Maybe the good 'ol days are just that and we'll never see anything like it was in the heyday again, but I think (hope) a new event might impart some new energy.
