Here we are again...

It's the end of the month (crunch time for many of our customers)...

I feel this website saved our company headache and some $$ this month (again). Let me assume for a minute it was $5000 worth of funds, time, and future business.

I'm going to offer 1% of that savings as donation this month (not company money either, out of pocket because it's my time I'm saving!!).

Note that I suspect that if goals are not reached regularly, this site 'could' be forced to go members only (and pay for membership). :eek:

Just my thought for the day...

Well put MikeJr.....

This "lack of donation" to the forum has been noted before in previous posts and was discussed at the last Meet & Greet night.

This forum is a collaborative effort - we have 1700+ members - nearly 500 are active on this site. Even with a nominal donation of $5/month - that would be a substantial dollar amount for ADMIN to keep this site rolling. When you think of the donation as a "Timmies Double Double" dollar equivalent - it is such a small amount out of pocket. Where can you get such a huge return on a small investment nowadays? I will tell you where....no where but here....

Senior members should ALL have a "SUPPORTER" banner across their name. For those that do not - shame on you. If you achieved this level on Inside Transport - don't forget that ADMIN granted this status. And with a new level comes a responsibility to provide positive, accurate and useful information for others. If you are on this site with Senior status - you are using the forum regularly. This is a very strong and powerful tool in this industry that many of us have come to rely on for everyday use. But it is also a volatile resource - one that could disappear at any time.

I ask all members to think back...to the days before you knew of this forum - before you had heard of Inside Transport - what it was all about and what message it was trying to convey in the transportation world. Now think of a day when you come to work - start your day off as any other - bring up your Inside Transport icon and the website is no longer there - blank page....

A very scary thought....
 
We do not have a pay pal account, I know it should be easy to get set up but I need to get a few people involved to do this. If I could mail a cheque somewhere I'd do it today!
 
you dont need a paypal account to make donations, just click on the link and use your credit card, click on the "don't have an account" link.

hope that helps
 
I agree also and that is why I decided to give up my Timmys for a few days. However I went to make the nominal donation of $5 but it will only let me make a minumum of $ 10 donation. Am I doing something wrong?
 
Searcher: the donate link at the top right corner allows you to make $5 donations
