[WildBlue]

its been a while and I have seemed to lose my access to the members forum... Lifer donations dont expire, do they? Yes, I am still alive.

[Doug]

Chris you were a yearly member, but if you know otherwise, send me an email.

PM Sent, work email wont let me use your email form.

[Doug]

Ahh, my mistake. I made an error when entering you into my system - forgot to select lifer! You're all beddah now.

As usual, excellent service from Doug!

I reckon it's a good business proposition if I put back into this forum 10% of the money this forum saves me.
At the moment I'm a Double Lifer and, on my original proposal, still in debt to r1150r.org
And I hope I've been able to save others money and angst with my replies to their posts.

Ahh Garr, this is the whole point! It is the INFORMATION AGE! Its funny, hardware and widgets used to be the hot commodity.. Now its data and decision systems! The next step.. Autonomous, self assembling robot decision makers!

Ok, thats off topic.

Enjoy the site everyone!

Joined a couple of years ago, thanks Doug. With the maintenance and repair tips saving me loads, sold a few farkles to good new homes, the small investment in membership has paid for it's self many times over...

[Doug]

Thanks Duegi - that's just what I like to hear.. the site providing REAL value to everybody.

when I click donate it just opens up my pay pal account and does nothing... can you give me a donate email to send to or something? I want to become a member for a year to try it out.

Hmm, I just tested it and it worked fine.. You can just send the payment to my email address and it should work. My email is just Doug @ this site. Pm me if you have any issues.

Maybe I've missed something here, but I recently started seeing ads throughout this site. As a member, I should think I don't have to look at this stuff. But perhaps it's just me or my computer? Is everyone seeing these ads? Can I get rid of them?

Bob, I see them too and have the same questions.

Help out Doug by clicking on some of the ads.

Adblock works well if you are using the Chrome browser. Similar add-ins are available for other browsers.

The ads - I see them even as a Moderator here on the board. As Doug has mentioned in other posts, it would greatly help out the board to click on a few of these and help keep this place alive (its .30/click IIRC). Your help in NOT using Adblock is greatly appreciated.

[Doug]

hi all, let me explain.. The ads have been on here for a LONG time, a few years I think. During one of the last few updates I guess I updated the pieces of code required for the ads to run and as such they disappeared. I guess I didnt really realize it till one day recently, I thought about it.. where did they go!? So I put them back. It was an oversight on my part.

I know people feel entitled to not have ads because they've donated but ads generate repeatable income from visitors on the site, and the memberships hardly ever do (that is we dont get a lot of renewals). It is another way I can keep the site afloat without a lot of begging, and anyways, are they really that bad?!

It would help out a ton if people would start clicking on them (and opening in a new window so you dont actually even have to see the opened pages). I know it sounds ridiculous, but those clicks add up!
