The Privileged Few

Absolutely, That would be priceless in terms of advertising the forum!:broon:

It's quite a divisive subject. We have avoided doing this up until now, but we are damned if we do and we are damned if we don't.
Don't think it is the "establishment" enforcing this on the members, it is the forum trying to accommodate what the members want.
People have asked for it, so we are going to give it a go.

Hang on, hang on. We've gone from please if you can donate please do. To if you don't your a tight git/leech etc?

That wasn't aimed at you Clive.

I don't think anyone is calling anyone a leech. Some people just have the opinion that they have gained from the site and a small contribution is the least they can do. That isn't to say that everyone needs to think the same and anyone is looked down on if they don't donate.

That's what I saw the thread started as but then it started to turn. I'll shut up now.

FWIW John, I place a FAR HIGHER value on helpful, knowledgable posters than on monetary contributions*.....






*although sadly money is required to run a forum too.....

I don't think it is about money, unless someone wants to pay me to think it is. :yesnod:

Daryl pm me your address and I will get one sent out to you via our supplier, the TBar does not have any of it's own to sell as we order on supply and demand..

:yesnod:

I am happy to contribute because....
I love a (boring to most) technical discussion. Argument.
I think I have a bit to offer in tech advice after 40 years of spannering.
I love to learn. At my great age.
Cjj's bumper removal 'how to' saved me tearing the hidden self tappers out in a blind rage.
Etc.
Etc.

I pay 7 quid for a packet of fags, which frankly I should have given up years ago with my health history. Ditto 17 quid for a bottle of scotch. 3 quid for a pint. So I will chuck a fiver in the pot. Mid point between 20 fags and a pint. Or thereabouts. Value for money.
My choice, my opinion. My money.
