The_Kapn · Mar 2, 2008

Well,
It is the 1st of the month and I got my old fart's pension payment.
Just sent a bit on to Phil to keep the home fires burning!
Cheap entertainment for me--
And this is one of my families.

If we don't have a lot of extra money, could we do something non monetary for the site? I have some time, but things are really tight right now with the new job and all. I do enjoy the site, and want to give back...

Gonna quote myself cause I screwed up!

To any of you who can not, for whatever reason, send a few $$--just post some quality information, or "atta-boys", or whatever feels good!

That is what makes this site so special---the participation of all!

Thanks,

TIM

nmayeux · Mar 2, 2008

Thanks guys! The only problem is that I have learned much more from this site, than what I have contributed... It is this site that turned my "like" of cooking into "love!" And Tonto, all I did was brag about my cooker! And Tim, you and Dave were the first brothers that I actually met. You made me and my little girl feel at home!

Thanks!

The_Kapn · Mar 2, 2008

"You made me and my little girl feel at home!"

Noah,
Since you brought up Katie.....
Mrs Kapn is going through serious "Grand Kiddo Withdrawal" right now! :evil:

I will bet she would gladly contribute a ton of money to the Forum just to borrow Katie for a week or so! :lol:
What a charmer she is!

All joking aside--I have stated the truth above.
Just keep on being a Brother!

just getting to look at the beer by my name is worth the money. Knowing it is really going to keep this great site up and running is even better.

I just want to back up what the good Kapn said. This is not, and hopefully never will be, a pay site. But it does cost money to run it. We do not want to shame anyone to donate. You may donate money if you wish, or donate by being a quality poster. What ever you do, there is no pressure to do anything but be a Brother (or sister).

Okay Brother's in Smoke. I did as promised... :-D:-D:-D

Just did the subscription thing. Unfortunately I could not figure out how to do a subscription and donation in the same transaction and my pay pal is hooked to a savings account which limits me to 1 transaction a month. Oh well. Will add the donation next time.

Now, can someone explain what all the different icons are for? The ice cream, the beer in a mug, what appears to be a couple of beers in pilsner (sp?) glasses, the jug of booze, etc.?

Me too Tim. ~old fart's pension payment mod~

I look at the donation as taking care of our family.

Thanks going out to Phil, all the Mods and everyone who has a hand in keeping this place going.

You guys are doing a great job!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Basically stars are for subscriptions and icons are for donations. It will all be explained in Phil's State of the Brethren speech.

I just recently came across this forum. It must be one over the busier bbq forums I've seen. I'm curious as to why the sight is not offering advertising. I would gladly pay for a nice banner ad. If the board owner or admin would like to discuss it, please email me at Tom@lonestarcustompits.com

Cuz we're proud to have this site not cluttered. Hence the need for us to make contributions for this great place. I would gladly fit the bill for this place if I had the yen, just so I wouldn't have to wade through spam.

You could go here and become a gold star supporter.

This site is home for alot of us!! It costs alot to keep the site running and so far Phil and a number of others have paid to keep the site up and running. There are so many members now that it is costing alot more to run this site.

Question: Would you be willing to give a donation to help keep the site running??

I have already hit Pay Pal to help out. Think what it would cost you for a subscription to a magazine.

Come on Bro's

Show you care!!

Buy a subscription or make a donation by using the options in the menu on the top of the forum.

I'm new here. You probaby won't like my opinion.

I have several years experience co-administrating a rather large vBulletin-based forum that depends entirely on donations to pay the bills. I'm familiar with the tech side and server requirements and prices.

The question in the thread title was do I like this site. My answer is a qualified yes. I like the information and friendliness I've found here, but I refuse to be coerced into buying a "subscription" merely to be able to conduct simple search. I've resorted to using a Google search of the publicly available portions of this site: http://www.google.com/search?q=barbecue&sitesearch=bbq-brethren.com
