I know I'm just a regular member on this Forum, but I've been watching the Donations threads & am pleased to see that there have been a lot more members making donations than there used to be. Even if you donate a single buck, it helps. Do you guys realize that we have 8,603 members !!!!! If each member would donate only ONE DOLLAR, that's $8,603.00 !!!! If AVERY needs only $250.00 per month to run this Forum, well just do the math. One dollar from 8,603 members = almost 34 & 1/2 months or just over 2 & 3/4 YEARS of running the Forum, from just 1 month of $1.00 donations from EVERY MEMBER. That's INCREDIBLE isn't it ??? There are just too many members who are reaping all the wonderful benefits from this FABULOUS FORUM that AVERY provides for us, but not contributing in a monetary way at all. I don't think coming up with one dollar a month isn't that difficult, heck, it's only three cents a day. That's LESS than the pocket change most of us have at the end of the day. If you would like to see your donations move the BAR GRAPH at the top of the Forums HOME PAGE, then make your donations through the DONATIONS SITE. That website address is laserpointerforums.com/donations.htm Then click on one of the three DONATE buttons, which will take you directly to the PayPal Site where you can make your donation. It's real easy, just a matter of pressing the right buttons in the right order. If you make your donations THIS WAY, through the DONATIONS SITE, you'll see your donation reflected in the BAR GRAPH right away. I congratulate guys like; daguin, Mohrenberg, Jayrob, Roosl (a noob!!!), Murudai, Jaseth, Lasersbee, bryce007, Silvershot, & all the others who make a monthly donation so regular, you can almost set your clock to them. These are the members (along with AVERY) who have been keeping this Forum afloat all this time. It's time to spread this monetary inconvenience around between ALL the members, not just a handful like it has been for so long.Now, I'm not trying to play FORUM ACCOUNTANT here, I'm just trying to put things in BLACK & WHITE so that everyone can see how EASY we can make Forum up-keep & take at least this one worry off of AVERY's back. We ALL know what a GREAT JOB he does running & policing this Forum for us, the least we can do is each contribute a dollar a month to ease AVERY's money concerns regarding the Forum. Well, that's about all I've got to say about this & I hope I've opened a few dozen eyes around this Forum. At least I HOPE I HAVE!!! So PLEASE, dust off a single dollar bill, hit the DONATIONS WEBSITE, & make a contribution so AVERY can have an easier time keeping our Forum up & running strong. If I've hurt anyone's feelings, PLEASE, this was NOT my intention. My intention was to solely put the facts & figures down so that they were spread before everyone's eyes & made easy to read & see just how much a single dollar from each member can help AVERY & the Forum. I hope you all have a good day, (or night) depending on where you live. Keep on laserin', but let's also practice laser safety, & PLEASE, don't forget what a one dollar donation can do, OK ? I thank everyone who took the time to read this, & on that note, I'll shut up now. I know, I know, YAAAAY, YAHOO, & WHOOPEE !!!!!!!!!!!! rob
