2008 Pledge Member
What's a "2008 Pledge Member"? I just saw this on someones left side profile where "TRF Member" would go...did I miss something?
Are we pitching in to help defray costs here? I'll chip in if we are. I have seen that done on the BMW KLT forum I belong to. One cool thing about that was you got little perks for the level you contibuted to. Perks like having an animated gif for your avatar. |

marcus 'cmr' made a contribution towards the operation of the forum. In doing this he asked for nothing in return. I decided to show some appreciation and gave him a title of '2008 pledge member'. I will try to make his experience more enjoyable on the forum, but at this stage I haven't decided altogether what I can do.
The forum software will be upgraded soon, and so I appreciate the contribution made by marcus. I like the idea of an animated gif avatar.

i just felt it was only right to try and help a little. i don't know much about computers but a friend of mine runs some kind of dirt track racing forum (i have never been to the site) and he told me after a while as the site has increased in members, posts and pictures it takes more band width and inevitably costs more money for the servers and all that computer stuff. since i know it costs money to run this type of thing and ALLOT of time from the admin and mods i just wanted to show my appreciation for being allowed to come here and learn about my favorite brand of watch and be with a like minded community of fine people.
thanks again. marcus

Steve, if you see this, you need to check the cookie settings in the admin cp... I could go into detail on this if you like, but something seems to be set wrong in this regard. |

hey, another pledge member! are we growing? all i know is every time the bandwidth increases so does the server fees. i am quite sure this site isn't cheap to operate.

I've been a member of Paypal for many years now. Never had any issues. Probably because I just pay and accept money using their services. You know, stay close to the center-line. Many of those who have had issues w/Paypal involve dispute resolution, complex transactions, overseas and unusually large payments. For more pedestrian stuff, I'd guess a very large percentage of things go just fine. JMHO and experience...
