  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

How do YOU support this board?

    Actually, another way to support this BB, is to buy V8 Buick merchandise. JW and Rick make garage clocks with pictures of Buicks on them. Seems to me with the holiday season coming up, they would make great gifts. There doesn't seem to be much interest in the latest clock featuring a burnout shot of my car:( I'm kind of surprised actually, I think it looks great. Check it out under the V8 Merchandise Forum.

    I bought a clock but I don't think that qualifies as supporting the board. :Do No: I don't see my name on the list, so that's why I say that.

    In any case, I'm waiting for a paypal transfer from my bank acct. so I can contribute.

    The one thing I have not seen mentioned on here which I think deserves mentioning, is that people who have not contributed much or not at all, monetarily, may have contributed a GREAT deal in other ways, such as with knowledge and information unobtainable anywhere else on the planet.

    This benefits others more than it benefits themselves.

    While it doesn't pay the bills, I think it still deserves mentioning. :Smarty:

    r72gs Another project........

    Keeping this at the top!

    I think the list is a little out of date, I made a contribution again this year but I don't see my name on the list.

    Jim's been busy with the new shop from the looks of it!

    Money contribution, also try to help out others where possible and where I have some idea of what I am talking about!:Dou:

    Have been playing with these cars since 1986 now, and still learn lots here. Great people too. I would be lost without this board....but I look at the contribution list and man is it small compared to the number of users! Hopefully that will change, more contributions can only make things better as the group expands, needs more computing power, etc.

    If every user on this list donated 20.00 we could make parts we needed and pay for the site too!!!

    later

    How I contribute...

    Not bragging here, folks, just some insight as to how I contribute -

    For every dash kit I sell to someone on this board or who mentions this board, $10 goes to JW. I figure that it's worth it since I am profiting off the exposure and visibility my kits get on this site. Being in the biz, so-to-speak, I don't mind paying for advertising.

    To date, I think YOU ALL have donated roughly $500 by buying my kits. Not too shabby! I win, you win & the board wins. Think about it.

    If everyone who sold stuff on this board did the same thing that ebay does (a small percentage of total sale), just think about how much money could go to support the site. What's a buck or two off the top? Add it all up, and we're talking some serious jack.

    Other ideas?

    I found this site about a week ago. Just took it for granted till I started reading everything on here. I read about the clocks supporting the site so decided to send a check. I am just starting my project so I will be here alot and just thought it was the right thing to do.
