 RE: PayPal FINALLY.... (in reply to cathulu)

Six contributions, so far. I cannot overstate how immensely I enjoyed receiving them as each proclaims a much greater commitment than the payment itself.
It takes an effort, I realize, to enter the information required to make the payment, and generally a dash of courage should one fear the treacherous internet. But please think of how much you love this place, how much you learn from and share with it, how much you have grown to depend on it.
Please contribute, not only for the few dollars which will be used to buy rewards and prizes, but above all to show your individual commitment. If everyone can do this, then there shall be no fear to ever forfeit this wonderful venue.
Carry on, I do not want to sound like your local preacher, but do put one hand on your flamenco heart and the other on your … credit card!!

well Ron, i dont know. If i wouldnt be a regular reader of this forum, i maybe wouldnt have noticed that there is such a Paypal donation on this forum. If i were you, i would make a link on the "home page", like those links above (Home, Todays Posts, etc...), or like the Eliasson advertisment, so that on every page there is a link like "Donate to this forum". Another thing is, well, paypal. Not everybody has an account, and will someone just create an account only for this? probably no. Im more surprised that already 10 people have a Paypal account at all...

RE: PayPal (in reply to Ailsa)

doing mine right now, sorry sidetracked ..i dont know how long it takes to clear..
quote:
With that, and the response to Ailsa's well organized challenge, I personally feel like giving up.
Maybe Florian can come in and state how proud he is of everybody here etc
geez you get discouraged quic  , have a litlle patience and a litlle faith amigo, its a new thing, it dosent just happen overnight...you see it as ONLY 6 people donated, i see it as wow, 6 people belived in this enough and what you guys are doing to go out of their way..its a start ! a greate start, thank you very much to those that decided to join in..and belived in this.
it will happen, but people need to be inspired into doing it and not made to feel gulty into doing it.. has to be a pleasure not an obligation..
so lets not focus on what we didnt get so far and be grateful for what we did get, lets try and inspire more generosity and not demand it..
id like to up my contribution to $ 10 ...just for the hell of it..to congratulate those of you that went out of your way to organize it...
I bet soon we will have enough for a nice litlle prize for the winners of the solea challenge I am so convinced of it that if we dont by the next week i will put up whatever we need to make it up to get the price out of my own pocket....(contact me at the end and let me know what the prize u wanted was and how much more do we need)
ahem...i hope those of you that havent donated dont let me do that i am not rich by any means..but if its action that it takes to inspire then cool,
but if i do, i dont mind its a pleasure, i am investing in good will and the foro..for everything it has given me over the years its worth that and more
I do agree that it has to be somewhere where it dosent just go down out of recent posts..somewhere where it can be seen..eg. under Ander's banner if Simon is cool with it..
to everyone else that hasent donated yet please dont think of this as a duty or let anyone make you feel gulty into doing it, only do it if you want..but if you can afford it please take a second and think about all the pleasure this might have brought you over the years, this is all going right back into the forum, noone is getting paid....
if anyone wants to make a donation but dosent have paypal..make it known here, wel find a way..i am sure theres a way around everything, other ways you can send your donation..every single donation counts..
because even more importantly than the actual money it shows the organizers suporrt and that you do care ..thats almost even more important the the actual 2 dollars
