V20 Members Site Help

God
I meant to post this suggestion when MJ (aka Wind Talker) was going through his financial and housing situation hot and heavy, but alas, I am getting older and got side tracked.
Right now MJ is not only managing the site and committing his time to us but he is also paying for it.
My suggestion to help all of us out is this, we find out from MJ what the yearly cost is, I do not think it is very high and we post it up and figure out who will sponsor the site.
Have a sponsor list and everyone that can, sign up and we split the cost amongst us all. It should only be a few bucks and we help the Wind Talker through some tough times he is having.
I think it would be a pretty cool thing to have your site sponsored by the members. Like a big family we all contribute what we can.
Any suggestions for doing it better post em up.
 
I agree . This is one of greatest the fourm's I have ever seen, I agree lets all do this for MJ and all of us fans
 
I second that Willy. Great idea. Nobody shall have a say in how it is run except Windtalker, because I wouldn't change a thing.
I have seen other forums that allow sponsorship of certain sections. For a small annual stipend this would relieve MJ of some of the burden. Not that my opinion counts for squat, just throwing it out there.
 
Great Idea Willy!! I'm in and if MJ will continue to do us the favor of running this site as usual I think I can speak for all of us and say a BIG THANK YOU MJ!! Maybe we can all chip in alittle extra and help him get another boat!
 
Great suggestion WIlly. I've of a like mind and actually I sent him money months ago. But I'm sure it's gone by now and a refill is probably in order. It's always good to help out your fellow man. You know, sometimes life kicks you in the teeth, and sometimes you hit the lottery.
I'm thinking that MJ got kicked in the teeth with his health and finances, but I think he won the lottery with having us here to cover his six. So if we're gonna talk about covering it, lets actually do it. Put me down for whatever it takes. :party:
 
Thanks guys!! The cost per year is nothing really, yodaddy is donating the server, Valiant is donating his time as our tec guy, so I just pay for the domain name to keep the site up which is like $10 a year.
What I would like to do is give something to Valiant and yodaddy for taking up there personal time and keeping all running!! Because really with out them there would not be a wellcraftv20 site! I know we could never give them what a real server gets or a real Tec guy would get but a little something would be nice. I use to give Valiant a little each year when I could, but as you guys know I am a poor man right now.
So what ever you guys come up with will be fine by me, just know the ones that donate will have no more power then the ones that can't! This has always been a free site and will stay that way for whop ever uses it as long as I have anything to say about it! As like now I will not allow swearing, porn, fighting or anything of the kind no matter who started it and won't have a problem booting anyone off the site, no matter if they pay or not!
Only reason I am even allowing it is to try to show yodaddy and Valiant that they are very much appreciated and we can't do it with out them! I want nothing!!

Thanks guys Joe

Ya, ya, now shaddup and take the money!! v1

Seriously, how you use it is none of our concern MJ. Just know that it's there if and when you need it. I'm in... who else?:fam:
 
I'm in... whatever it takes for no more withdrawals hehehe!! I also agree with CFELTON on helping MJ. Only stipulation being next boat has to be a V20 I/O j/k:clap:
On a more serious note, too much good info., good entertainment and good folks here to not to give something back in return.
 
sounds good to me. i see we have about 150 active members , if half of those ponied up $20, we're looking at $1500.

is that the ball park ya'll were thinking about? or do like churches and give what you can when you can...

whatever, i'm in.
 
Based on what MJ said my suggestion would be for a Sponsor List in which the guys who sponsor the site pony up like 10 Bucks apiece and MJ distributes it to who he thinks it should go to.
Wind Talker I would suggest you divide it by three and put yourself in that three.
That would give a little something to all three of you for what you do.
 
that sounds very fair & helps the guy's that pay for this site run , but lets make it $15 and kick MJ some thing ( thoughts ) ?
 
I'm in. 30 bucks would be fine for me too. Although if it wasn,t for this site. I wouldn't be in the middle of the most fun project I've ever taken on. So thanks all and I'd be willing to pitch in. Lots of great advice and help here.
