Quoted from pin-pimp:Didn’t know a yearly donation was required is all. We plan to set up on the market place here and I thought there was a fee and pinside get part of sales? Still looking into this, selling product here is new to me but we will make sure all is as should be. It s not about the money, it’s about I didn’t know rules But will
A donation is completely optional--that's why its a donation, and not a membership fee or anything like that. But, your donation is appreciated, as it helps pay for hosting and development of the site.
With a donation, there are a few useful perks, but otherwise, all major features of the site are available to everyone whether or not they donate to the site.
Quoted from TheMickster:Get a life, 'Dude", sorry to see this, really...All I stated was that if someone wanted to advertise and sell on this site, it would be great if they also donated to the site on a regular basis. I do not understand why some of you folks thought that this was negative, and for sure a few of you don't know what I have personalty attributed to the pinball community with over thirty years of experience in this business, and then offer my many different mods and support.
Too bad to those that only troll around here, climb on as lemmings, and do not appreciate the people like me, that offer support without anything in return.,
Please, again, don't get mad at me, I just thought to mention that if folks really enjoy and "use" this site, it would be nice to offer support by contributing a little $ bit, especially if they want to offer and sell their new products.
Again,,why get mad at me, I thought it was just a friendly reminder to support Pinside as a whole, and it is now very interesting to see that quite of folks have changed their mind and contributed also...So I guess my beatings by a few folks has helped support Pinside, as intended anyway.
The enthusiasm and support is appreciated, but please don't try to pressure people into donating. Keep in mind that not everyone contributes to the pinball community in a monetary fashion. Some people contribute their time, talents, and/or skills.
