Should e90post.com setup a Paypal account for donations

Cory1000 · 12-21-2005, 11:32 AM

It looks like a lot of people on this site want to help the website admins out with a donation to improve site, pay for stickers, upgrade hardware, etc.. Please vote if you think its a good idea or not.

The Admins will tell us when they want $$$, they've made it clear that for now it's cool. I'm cool with that.

cdheaven · 12-21-2005, 08:27 PM

when the admins start asking for money, im peacing out.. i MIGHT throw them some money now, because they ARENT asking. get it.

StewtheBassman · 12-21-2005, 08:42 PM

cdheaven, that is typical of your iconoclastic view and I respect it. In fact, I get it (check the "other" BMW boards lately? Yuch!)!!

Without this forum, I wouldn't have saved the £150 I was going to be charged for the mp3 update in the UK.
I reckon Mark, Jason & E90Fleet deserve a gratuity!

Knowing what kind of people our mods are, I doubt they will ask us for money unless they are in serious financial trouble with handling this site. If that is the case, I will definitely pitch in.

I do not think there are enough active senior members though, for regular donations. If you've been in forum culture long enough, at last, most who contributes are active senior members(because they are the ones really dedicated). Newbies or Comes-and-Goes members don't care much. They most likely just move on to other forum. Wait some more, let the time go by, "build" more active/dedicated senior members, and then let the.. whatever begin.

I know couple other boards have special Porn Sections only open to those members who pay. I heard it usually works really well.

^ Those porn forums are illegal now, a lot of board's got busted for having them. I know of one board which had a porn forum, and it was open to everyone. The forum was HUGE and when site's starting getting busted for the porn, they had to take it down.

Paying for porn is stupid though. Donating to a board would be fine, but I wouldn't pay a board to be a member, you know?

lux.sh · 02-04-2006, 07:13 PM

don't take it seriously. it was just a funny suggestion.

NaTuReB0Y · 02-04-2006, 07:15 PM

how about $.25 a month......to use e90post?

it'll add up......

Mark · 02-05-2006, 11:27 AM

Nope no charges for this forum WHATSOEVER. I've always been against that from Day 1. Ive seen other forums get greedy and start charging fees for membership, thats LAME as hell. So this place will always be free, no ifs ands or buts.

Just please do your tirerack shopping from our banner ads in the wheels and tires section, and that will help pay for the site, thanks ! :rocks:

So, is the tire rack thing a percentage thing or just a number of purchaces thing. Cause you can never have enough spare valve stem caps... bought seperately...
