Time to look after the forum !!!

Post by Mori Man »

Hi All,

I'm on a few forums and each has a PayPal donation button on them to help with the costs of running the board. I never have a problem sending a few quid every now and again as i realise membership is free and so is the invaluable information contained within the posts.

But, it occurred to me there isn't such a thing here shocking and WE are ALL getting the use of this space out of somebody's else pocket - now i know they are all right about that as this is their pride and joy but i enjoy being here so propose to make amends to this - what do you think?

So, as a starter I want to offer a Ramair box up for auction, this will fit L model bikes with CVK's or FCR's - it might do H models but my own one will for definite :smt005

The auction selling price will be donated to the running of the forum ie: I will not take the cost price out of the final selling price
If you have a Paypal account i will ask you to pay MOI directly and all i ask is you then pay me for the postage to you - this will be absolute cost, no packing fee, no walking to the post office fee just what it costs to get it to you! You can choose economy or express.

£20 keeps the board for 1 month but 2 would be better so i am going to set the reserve at £40 with a Buy It Now of £80 - That's 4 months of glorious ZXR400 forum aid :excited

I'll get the box out and take some photos , it is used put undamaged and i will refurb it if someone buys it now - new sealing foam, fine mesh for intake and i will source grommets for passing the cables through ect...

In the spirit of getting this started who'll put in the 1st shout of £20 ?

(MOI your excluded !)

Thankyou very much!! have been running this site for many years with limited funds from stickers and club fees helping towards it, at one point it was costing me £70-80 a month to run, hence end of last year i upgraded to a better package.£20 is what i pay a month for hosting fees, i've had a few donations from a few people which helps immensely with running costs.There's been many a time i've felt like jacking it in due to financial difficulties especially when i went bankrupt myself but its been my personal homepage for many a year and closing it down doesn't come into it.Thanks everyone for their support over the years!!

now get bidding :smt003

Drew - stunning idea - Put me down to open the bidding at £50 - its all in a good cause. :smt001

Baz - I for one would be happy to provide more regular support for the forum - if I can help with a contribution (if that is the easiest way for you) once in a while then I am happy to do so
