The whole mod team has busted its ass over the years to get MOS where it is now and to maintain high standards. Its not all about one man....dld.....without the team the site wouldnt be....simple as. Remember the team.

I read back up through this thread and see several detractors to this idea and it's no wonder more people did not join in on this effort. I am going to wait a few more days to send to DLD so at least maybe a few more members will chip in. It's a wonder that DLD can even make this forum exist with such pathetic support and appreciation. Bless his golden heart. If you contribute please also PM me with your forum name. If you already contributed please so the same so we can let DLD know who the gift is from.

Like RED said however we all put our efforts in to make this forum how it is. It is not just one person. Every member and MOD contributes equally with the Admin, a couple MODS even have their own sections determined to help people out specifically. One mod went so far as to have his own forum so that it does not increase bandwidth usage here. We all do our part.
It's not that everyone is cheap just they need to feel ahead of the game in order to be able to give something out.
This is the reason I have said time and time again (with no response of course) that this forum needs some sort of shop. If people could buy what they are always asking for anyways all in one place, they would. They would buy what they know they will need and know where the money is going. Also they would be buying from people they trust.
I honestly don't believe donations is the only way to make money here. It will always be the same people donating and some of them are doing it out of pitty.
Most people in life will not just give out money because they feel if they can help themselves so can others and because they feel they are not getting anything solid out of it. But I can tell you if they can give out money and get something solid out of it (i.e buying a hose clamp for $20 with next day shipping knowing that at least $10 goes to the forum) they will give more money than they would if they felt they were giving a mercy donation.
Maybe one day someone will read what I have to say and we can put this into effect so that we do not need donations.
sephin said:Guys I am currently working on an idea where we can all pitch in to help DLD. EVERYONE. And it will cost no one here a penny, unless they wish to donate some extra money. Im thinking it all over, pretty much solidified.
If you are interested PM me or post here and once I see we have enough dedicated people we can do it.
Plus itll be a way to keep MoS going with constant donations, with nothing out of pocket from any of us. I know it sounds too good to be true, but when I got enough people and explain it, itll all make sense.
