Upcoming Renewal

Hey guys! The webhosting renewal is coming up on December 1st. It's $250 and I don't have it. Any chance you can all chip in enough to cover it? There are two alternatives if I can't raise the money: I can either let the site die or see if one of you would be interested in taking it over. Before handing it over to someone else, I would like the site members to approve the new owner by vote.

Please let me know. If you decide to try to raise the money, please make pledges before sending anything so we know that enough can be raised to do it as I wouldn't want to accept half the money, not get there and end up having to drop it anyway. If someone wants it, please let me know.

Pat

Addendum: I put it below but will add my mailing address here as well:

Someone who exchanges post with the xxxxxxx needs to advise them to get off there butt and kick in. I have then on ignore and have NO desire to communicate with them..

I think her request for funds or take over indicates approval by members!!!

John in SC

I'll pledge $100 out of my meager SS check to see Togor BANNED. Risky, since since this snake can no doubt figure out a way to sneak back in under a pseudonym.

I had thought many times about contacting Pat to ask about buying her out but figured she wouldn't sell. Many of you probably thought the same way. Now, it looks like the site is available.

Everytime I thought about it though I realized I didn't particularly want the headaches and don't have the resources available to deal with hackers/site crashes and such.

The whole purpose for me to buy would be to preserve the major's legacy but what if I sudenly died or became too sick to carry on? My son and daughter would probably have no interest in continuing on. That being the case if this forum is owned by just one person and something happens to him/her then everything is lost.

My thoughts are that 2--5 of us should offer to buy this site. If something were to happen to one the others could continue and possibly replace him/her (like a board of directors). Meanwhile, the cost and problems would be shared and decided upon where just one person wouldn't have total say-so.

For right now, time is short, we have a gun rights election facing us and Pat needs the money right now but perhaps this "new ownership" is something to think about in the upcoming year.

Regardless of who wins the election more political emphasis is going to occur here. With new ownership the bickering could come an end once and for all.

if we really wanted to raise money we could ban him and then charge other members a fine every time they mention his name.

Funny how donations turned into Lord of the Flies.

Is that really what you want though?

With new ownership and changes made this forum could be made "great again" not that Pat hasn't tried and we appreciate her efforts on keeping this forum up despite all the negativity intruders.

NEVER makes jokes on any internet forum--they will ALWAYS be misunderstood!

However, my offer of $100 to be rid of our chief antagonist was no joke.

That's one way of sparing ourselves the taunts of Biden's chief advocate, who could then devote himself full-time to supporting the Dems.

Enough has been pledged. You can send it to my PayPal account at jaliisah@hotmail.com or mail it to me at 815 Bodie Canyon Road, Priest River, Idaho 83856. That will pay us up for another three years. Many thanks.

Not a bad idea, this way could get rid of the "problem" children and return to some type of normalcy. Anyone else interested in kicking in more dough?
Sam

Who should we make the check out to? Ray

I can send you $25 (US dollars even, since I have a bank account in Florida). I will need a mailing address.

Click on "support this site" top of page, olive green rectangle or tool bar.

Pat, I used the PP account info above to pay. Just wanted you to know that the address you list under "Support This Site" is a little different. I assume either will work?

I really haven't put in the time and effort needed to make the site as good at it should be. When the Major was alive, he was always posting wonderful gun information and stories and I am here to tell you, they made pretty good money on ads. I am gun owner and strong believer in the Second Amendment but I just don't have the expertise to generate that great content. If the right person came along, the site really could be made a lot better and I am willing to relinquish to the right person. It would have to be someone who really understands the site, what it was, and what it could be again and that person would have to be acceptable to members.

Sam, you can get rid of them, as Vern & I have said many times IGNORE ...Many times you cut and paste and differ with the so called xxxxxxx. Apparently you want to do away with them yet you argue with them...
