Will you donate?

[Adam]

Hi Folks,

If you're willing to donate to this site, please add your name and a maximum dollar amount you are willing to give.  Hopefully this will give Carl an accurate dollar count so that he'll know which plan to choose for us.

Thanks.

Adam - up to $50/year

Should be up to at least $310 now - I've had to use Firefox to access the site rather IE.

Sorry this has been a headache, Carl - but your effort is appreciated!

Okay, all the paypal donations have been completed.

Hopefully all this hassle will be worth it. I know personally I just like being in semi-regular contact with all you classic banjoists.

Now we are paying for it, perhaps we will all try a little harder to add content. I will do my very best to post things which may be of interest.

Let's all really get the site buzzing :-)

It is good to be a shareholder !!! Perhaps we need "The T Shirt " next :-)

Speaking of the T shirt and such things I saw a funny sign on a mandolin case (or was it on a t shirt?) last week. Maybe others have seen it before but I hadn't. It said: " Not a banjo. Not that there's anything wrong with that...."

Just checking in to see if we as a group are going for the $500/yr plan? I had committed to giving up to $50 if we thought we could pay for the full plan but we've been at $310 for the past few days.

I'm willing to give an additional $30 (my first donation was $20) if there is interest/willingness in paying for the $500/year plan.

If I give another $30, that should bring us up to $340 ... Can we raise the other $160?

Or shall we stick with the $200/year plan and roll over the current $110 surplus into next year's dues?

After this weekend this topic will (thankfully!) be closed until next year ... Hoorah! :)

I just chipped in for $30, which brings it to $340 (unless that's Adam's $30 -- it's getting confusing!). I'm fine with using it for $500 this year or a head start on next year.

I chipped in the additional $30 I had pledged to give ... So we're now at $370! Woohoo!

If we don't make the $500 target, I'm also fine with the surplus rolling over.

[Tyler Cornett]

Certainly. Just chipped in $30.

[Adam]

$70 away from $500 and the whole enchilada ... Somebody get Ian Bell from the Minstrel site to do a pledge drive video for us! :)

[Carl Anderton]

Also, I'll put $30 in...I tried but you can't "chip in" to your own account.

I know we talked about it before, but now that we have almost $500 we can choose between the "premium" and "economy" service.

I would prefer the "premium" service...I guess I'm just a first-class kind of guy (and I love watching and adding videos here)...but if some contributors would rather have the less expensive format, I will bow to the will of the group.

[Joel Hooks]

I'm a bit confused. Does the economy service not allow embedding youtube videos?
