nobbyathome Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 (edited) I think a £5 fee will help teal a lot if members paid but as said before it might put off old members that come back ( what a fiver it was free when I last went on it eight years ago I ain’t paying that 😂) I do think mm is on the right track but think a voluntary contributions page would be better you could give what you want and as regular as you want and I do believe most members would certainly pay more than a fiver a year that way happily I have been on this forum for a few years and I think it is brilliant we have nice people a ( few a holes) but you get them everywhere some real jokers and a lot of experienced shooters that share there knowledge I have never met any of you but had good banter with loads of you so well done mm you have set the ball rolling to help teal to keep us all sane Edited January 19 by nobbyathome .

Good shot? Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I have intimated on an earlier post that I would be happy to pay a voluntary ( £1 ? ) But would balk at a £5 (?) one. I am sure that I would pay much more into the fund over the year than a one off donation. Cannot guarantee that though as I am a northerner after all.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Maybe like other sites to use the sales section you pay a £5 become a donator and can put in as many for sale posts as you want ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkin Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 As I said earlier on I'd be more than happy to take part. I'd also like to suggest a donation of £12:00 a year, thats right £1:00 a month to be paid whenever in that year. Suirely none of us can gripe at that, surely (and I hope I am right, ) we can all manage to meet that goal without experiencing hardship?

Miserableolgit Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 As per my earlier post I do have a little experience of forum admin and funding via donations. I think it worth mentioning that funds paid for what would ostensibly be the running costs for a service supplied obviously require careful handling and - depending on majority feelings - a degree of accountability. Worse case scenario is the possibility of the forum being seen as a business of sorts - with all that entails. Let me make clear the above is not to put any kind of dampener on well meaning kindness and suggestions but is intended merely as looking at things from a different angle. All that said I'd be quite happy to pop a donation into the collecting box 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Other forum I’m a member of has a donation button. You can choose to donate or not, it shows how much the forum costs are and where the fund stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
