No "donate" link here?

Post by Big Al »

I can't even imagine the great amount of work that creating and maintaining this site must involve. I appreciate it more than you can know, and I might be persuaded to send a few bucks to help out. Believe me, at this point with my current financial status, "a few bucks" is literal. But is there a way?

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,
I did nave a donate button some years ago but I never collected a penny. But I do this out of love of the toys and I get fairly well rewarded from the advertising on my site so much as I appreciate the offer the truth is I would prefer you to keep your money, I have sufficient for my needs thanks.

Not surprising that you never collected a penny. I'm as much to blame as anybody in that regard; I think I've "donated" maybe 3 times in my internet life for content that is otherwise free. Tough row to hoe, but I hope you're doing well enough. Thanks for it all,

Alan

This reminds me of the (amount too embarrassing to disclose) dollars I pissed away giving to the owner of another site ... only to find out the funds were being used for any and everything except what they were intended for.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

I know what you are talking about.

Just know this: There are plenty of us who appreciate your contribution to this hobby. Thanks, Tinman.

This disturbs and saddens me Joe. I worry for you how much you have lost to this person, and know you have faced some difficult times and decisions in the past. I donated a little (but not much) to the same site you refer to. Nowadays, I have my little daughter to care for, so we are careful about who we donate to - usually it is genuine children's charities. The money I spend on this hobby is now quite limited, but I am still able to enjoy it thanks to places like this and friends like you.

We are all blessed that Nick is able to/chooses to provide this site without resorting to the fundraising activities of other sites.

Cheers,
Gavin

He has a new trick these days,he has just edited the Mattel Ambo report of 23.9.13 to suit his own needs and deprive his members of taking part in the Landy visit unless they use other forums. :lol:
