I took patrickt's advise and contributed. I use the site, like it and it helps me enjoy my car. Small price to pay.

Nice, Murky781! Thank you.
Imagine if just 1% of the members contributed something....

Maybe instead of that futile magnesium wheels effort, I instead started a fund drive for this site?

Your time would be better served if you simply "called out" some of the members here and asked them bluntly why they can't dig in to their pockets and pull out some small change... in between their many, many postings, that is. |

I'm all in for Lifetime Membership and have been for a while.
The crackup is that it comes with an expiration date! So, I guess that's the big day when I will be moving on to the promised land!

The way I see it, if you participate here sooner or later you will have or will learn something that will save you more time and money than any contribution you make.
Examples are everywhere from an easy fix to keeping you from buying the wrong tires or the wrong heads or the wrong.....well, you get the idea.

OK, then why are there so many bums and freeloaders? Many of whom are driving six figure cars, by the way....  |

Sorry lads, I see it from different perspective.
It won't be popular, particularly with the vocal minority, weighing in on this topic, but hey, I gotta say it:
The value of this site (or most any site) IMHO is NOT the URLs or servers hosting it,
but the content that forum members contribute.
I tip those who contribute, thanks Patrick, either directly with tidbits, information, spare parts, my patronage, or directly by shouting them drinks
I've never met the owner of the site, seems like a nice a guy from his seldom recent posts, I wish him all the best, so I'm not directing any malice in his direction, nor am I complaining, but the simply curious how most all other websites I frequent seem to work comparatively flawlessly, yet don't have membership fees and/or charge seemingly less for advertising if what NYG quotes is correct.
I simplely query on behalf of others to better understand.
Perhaps then to offer suitable solutions.
I can't help but think, If money would solve this problem then why has it got worse (in my experience, and anecdotally others) when more people are contributing now than ever before?
Sorry, I won't pay, as a matter of principle.
It's like government asking for more tax yet delivering less in my mind. Or pay TV then drowning content with adds. No?
Conversely, If there was no advertising, then as a matter of principle I would subscribe.
Ps. Apologies for not responding sooner. This scurrying rat had to get some sleep. 
Enjoy! |

So, you think there's a link between contributing to a for-profit website and getting a more reliable website service? Hmmm, how quaint.
Again, I'll play Devil's Advocate and say I'd personally prefer any donations go to non-profits that service the needy, soup kitchens, the homeless shelters, health care and haircuts for those that fall through the cracks in our society. 
The "rats"? Puh-leeze.  |

One option is to open up a free Photobucket account and just copy/paste the links to any forum. |
