It is 2013, for those of you that only donate once per year to this great site please don't forget to give a little to this website that does so much for our hobby.
I just made my annual donation and thought I'd send out a reminder since they took the donation stickey away. Help Robin keep improving the website for all of us. 
i just did the same.
Agreed, this is a great website. An excellent resource for those new to the hobby/addiction like me and those of you who are much longer in the tooth.
I think vendors that are constantly advertising their "services" on Pinside (almost hourly...) should make particularly generous donations this year ....

Quoted from Gexchange:I set mine up for monthly re occurring figured that was easier.. then during busy months I drop extra in the coin box.
That is great JJ; very cool of you. I agree that all the distributors and venders who post here should follow your lead and do the same.
Actually, I think as a requirement to list a machine in the market place you should be a donor. That in no way converts this site to a pay site but it does mean people have to at least give $1 if they are going to be listing machines for sale.

This site helped me sell one machine and buy three machines. Also, put me in contact with other pinball enthusiasts near me where before I had no idea they existed. Been great for me.
Quoted from rotordave:constantly advertising their "services" on Pinside (almost hourly...)
Gee,I wonder who that could be ?
Quoted from frolic:I spend more time on this site than anywhere else on the net, so figured I might as well donate.
Exact same here. I'm on this site more than facebook or any other webpage...i'm curious what I would do without this site to get news and pinball related gossip and opinions from. I know my interest in the hobby would decrease without this site.
This place is worthy of sponsorship...which the owner does not even solicit for anymore, which in and of itself is pretty unique on the web these days.
Happy to be the low man on the totem pole with Karma points (on this thread)...expect all those above me to support the site
The site and it's members have provided very invaluable info which has afforded me the abilty to do most of my own repair. I can also state that in general Pinside has just been a great place to talk with other pinheads from around the world about anything I want.
I heard complaining last year about donors not receiving their "hearts." Well, I donated, and did'nt get mine, but I don't need the recognition. I just don't want fellow pinsiders looking at my profile and thinking,"well! He never donated!

I also donated in late December and did not get a heart. Wasasup wit dat?
Thanks for the reminder, just switched to a recurring weekly donation, hell, this site is worth it. Spend more time here than playing pinball. Thanks Robin!

............... 
Quoted from GAP:Now we have the price police and the donation police. lol, Just poking fun Tigerlaw25 . Love ya man. Had to go there! Guess its that time of the year to pony up.
You get a pass GAP; you did a $500 donation last year (and gave away t-shirts to other donors as I recall) . . . my guess is that is the all time record.
I already told robin he needs to charge vendors a monthly charge. In fact I had this conversation with him just yesterday.
But since he won't do It I just do a large monthly and urge the rest of you to do the same!
Quoted from Pinchroma:...and urge the rest of you to do the same!
Lets make it rain for Robin and Pinside!
My favorite part of this site??? Ok, ok...there is more than one thing. However, what I especially like is the fact that there are no POP-UNDERS! no POP-OVERS! Jeesh do I dislike those marketing gimmicks!
Great site to support. Especially when you look around the net at other sites!

Awesome point. Robin has kept this site free of pop ups that have killed many sites I have liked in the past. The only targeted marketing you see here is for pinball machines you like and have an interest in . . . that is awesome!
Quoted from MrBally:You weren't really accusing me of lying
Haha, I was just mess in around, not busting your balls! 
edit-hopefull Robin can right that for you!
Quoted from robin:Hey thanks everyone, I really appreciate the kind words and donations!
MrBally and Smokey: I have found and manually entered your donation hearts, sorry it took so long, they must have not registered.
Thanks!
Good thread to bump. We have two days left to get Robin his largest amount of January donations to start a year that he has ever had. A good mark for everyone to push for. Renew your donations now for 2013.
Gave my first donation yesterday by coincidence but it was way overdue. I promise not to procrastinate from here on. This site has helped and entertained me tremendously.
Long time follower and I have to say this is one great site.
The knowledge base and all the pinsiders are amazing.
Well worth the donation!
finally got a paypal account a couple months ago, and got some money to pinside. I was able to help robin get that NIB transformers though last year .
I've learned a lot from the pinsiders here, good people and great advice. hope it's around for a long time.
I've sold goods and had the buyers donate the money to Pinside. Don't really need a heart next to my name just saying there are other ways to donate without shelling out cash.
Quoted from TaylorVA:just saying there are other ways to donate
Hey, whatever works, it's all good!
Quoted from TaylorVA:I've sold goods and had the buyers donate the money to Pinside. Don't really need a heart next to my name just saying there are other ways to donate without shelling out cash.
This is true. There are lots of ways to be supportive of this site that might not be financial.
For example, some of the people who are literally walking enciclopedias on pinball repair knowledge more carry their weight on this site and have saved thousands of combined hours of frustration (and who knows how much money) for those of us they have helped over the years. These people contribute far more in value to this site than my $50 does.
Still, every little bit helps and even just donating $2 to Robin shows him he has another staunch supporter and that another person likes what he is doing with this site with all the constant upgrades and improvements and what not. Donating money, even small amounts, is helpful for many reasons beyond the actual receipt of the money.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Robin has kept this site free of pop ups
That takes $$$
Quoted from thedarkknight77:Show your heart people!
Quoted from jnauman:Well worth the donation!
Quoted from chadsugg:I spend wayyyyy too much time on this site not to thank Robin somehow.
Quoted from Ballsofsteel:I've learned a lot from the pinsiders here, good people and great advice. hope it's around for a long time.
Quoted from frolic:I spend more time on this site than anywhere else on the net
Pinside is the best pinball resource anywhere, let's keep it funded!
Quoted from robin:Hey thanks everyone, I really appreciate the kind words and donations!
I've been listening to NPR asking for donations all week. Robin manages to pull this off without staging "pledge drives"! Thanks go out to all the generous Pinsiders.
