Please don't assign to the entire community a problem you appear to have with the way I phrased something.

My apologies if you felt like I was singling you out for critique, but this isn't what I meant to do at all. People had been saying "we'll let the Stompies decide" since yesterday and it had bugged me since yesterday, and you just happened to be the random example I grabbed -- I honestly couldn't have told you who I was quoting.

Me, I plan to give whatever paltry sum I can afford and then be very adult about it.

"I gave $8 to this board and so far you people aren't giving me my $8 worth of fun. Yes, $8 of my OWN money. Step up with the ha-has, folks! "

Speaking of which, we should probably toss around a different number, because we're talking about paying $2400 for our total access, but we've had about six accounts mentioned that could potentially be moved to take advantage of the discount. I think there are probably a few more out there, but just counting those, we're already down to $140 a month, or $1680 a year, which is $17/user instead of $24. Right?

If I toss in extra money, I expect beer. Cases and cases of beer. And more scrappy.

I'm a little confused. If it's $2400 a year, and we assume all the active users donate(~200, IIRC), then aren't we looking at $12/user/year? Not month.

$1680 a year, which is $17/user/month instead of $24. Right?

$17/user/year, I think you mean.

And that's only assuming the 100 most active members give. If every registered member donated $5, we'd be more than paid up for two years.

(And this is a very odd conversation for me to be having right now, since my local NPR is in the middle of a pledge drive, which I wake up to every morning. I keep expecting someone to say "For the next hour, your $120 donation will be worth $240 thanks to the dollar-for-dollar match offered by Mr. and Mrs. VeryRichBuffista. You'll also recieve a Buffista tote bag and our exclusive "Sounds of Buffistas" CD as a thank-you gift.")

Yup, already edited the typo.

And now we look crazy. Cheers!

Man, actually trying to use the board to post something reminds you about the problem, alright.

This is what I do for a living. If we get a dedicated or virtual server, I would volunteer to set up and maintain it. After the initial set-up, the amount of time involved should be minimal.

Sighhhh... Competence is sooo sexy.

We've gotten away from Cafe Press, but we could tack a few bucks onto each item for the next F2F, etc.

The only person who knows who gives what is Jesse.

Mu-ah-ha-ha!

But seriously, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I really don't think we'll have a problem coming up with $2400 over the next, say, six months. After that it's a little foggier for me.

(And I'm dorkishly excited to be carrying my public radio tote bag today. FYI.)
