One of the better things you can do with 10 dollars.

I was missing so much in the other threads that my anxiety kicked up until I came to my senses and donated again.

This is the important part for all you noobs. When you donate a few things happen:
1) Grizz gets smarter and you can actually understand his math.
2) Shug is even funnier and he'll attend you're area's group hang.
3) (I know this last one is hard to believe) Dutch gets even easier on the eyes.

If you don't donate, you'll miss all that.

So there it is, spend a few bucks and donate. It is a simple and effective way to give back to this great community for which we gain so much. And, did you know that the moderators volunteer their time and effort? Personally, they do an outstanding job.

You can become a donating member for as little as $10. $10! That's like a half-cup of Starbucks coffee, lunch, spare change you find in your pocket. It isn't that much of a sacrifice folks, so how about it?

This is my official challenge to all noobs; gather up your pennies and under the User CP link, down at the bottom under Miscellaneous you'll see Paid Subscriptions. Click that and show this forum the love that's been given to you.

Peace,

Here here!!!!!

Done and done. All donated, while hanging in my living room.

Step right up! You don't even have to own a hammock yet! (I didn't when I donated).
Besides, $10 is less than you are going to spend on shipping each time you find new and wonderful goodies that you've just got to have!

And the knowledge you will gain from this forum..........PRICELESS!

Syb,

Is it true that when you started this post, you put it in the "Roundtable Off-Topic" section where only donating members could see it? Tell the truth now...

That sounds like Syb. He posted it in the wrong section because he was temporarily blinded by the gleam off his own teeth.

with all I have learned from this forum, and not willing to miss any post anywhere on it,,its worth being a donating member to me. Well worth the learning experiences I get to study and read.
