come on guys...

I know that this forum is old
I know that we are few and far between
I know that times are tight
but, it is time for the annual SOH bandwidth drive
I know that a few bucks won't break the bank
I know that every little bit helps
it is time for us to step up and help out
please
if you have a problem with PayPal
PM me and I will give you my address
so you can send cash, check or money order
then I will forward it to Ickie
I realize there is the element of trust
but most of you have known me for years
I will do as I say

OK smilo, it's done...

Now, I will go and match my SOH contribution with Haiti help funds.

okay, so one new server is bought and installed
and the other is coming shortly.
these things are NOT free.
we need your help.
even if you can only spare with a five spot,
every little bit helps.
one of our members sent me a check,
which I deposited and transfered funds to ickie.
thank you Sir.
what about the rest of yaz?

I was just over looking at the donor's list;
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...dth-Drive-2010

many thanks to the few
that have stepped up to the plate.
you know who you are, thanks again.

to the rest,
really?
are you kidding me?
what a pitiful showing by the CFS1 Forum Users!
it's a real drag to see
that only 4 or 5 CFS users
can find a way to support this place.

there has been a suggestion
that only Charter Members
should be able to post at SOH.
I have been against the idea,
but, honestly, I am having second thoughts.

whether you realize it, or not, or even care,
it takes money to operate this place.
contrary to popular belief,
servers and bandwidth are NOT free.
although, the mods and admins are volunteers,
the rest of it is not.

any donation, be it a dollar or more, helps with the cause.
if every member gave only one dollar,
one stinking dollar...can you spare it?
this would have been over a month ago
and we would have extra left over for a rainy day.

do you think I'm being too harsh?
maybe yes, maybe no, no excuses.

it's time to stop talkin'
and start rockin'
