End of year donation drive 2012 edition

Dupo · 12-03-2012, 04:24 AM

It's that time of the year again. End of year donation drive. I know its about 3 weeks early, but the end of the month is going to be VERY busy for me and I wont have time to take care of this in a timely manner. So with that said ...

I am starting this years donation drive once again to kick off 2013 and alleviate some out of pocket expenses that i pay every month for hosting. I don't put ads on here to cover server costs (i hate them as much as the next person). I rely solely on paying for it myself and using any donations sent in. So anything anyone wants to donate, be it $1 or $5 or whatever, will help keep the site going and is equally appreciated no matter what the amount. Donations are never a requirement and never have been, so don't feel bad if you can't.

To donate, click below in my signature with your donation amount (you will be taken right to paypal) or see the sticky on "how you can help gz250bike" or just simply paypal dupo24@gmail.com If you haven't donated before, make sure to include your forum username so you can get the sponsor tag. If you HAVE donated before, please let me know as well so I know not to go in and sponsor tag you again. For those without paypal, you can send a money order or whatever else might work for you. PM me if you are planning on an alternate method and I'll send you my mailing address.

Thanks everyone and thanks to those who have sent in donations during this year! Last year's drive, donations this year and my expenses took care of the entire year this year (thanks!).

And just wanted to add, that although I am pretty much inactive due to being busy as hell and backing down on the amount of riding i was accustomed to, I do check in to read posts and see how everything is going and I must say, this is the coolest bunch of people I have ever had the pleasure of hosting/running a forum for. I have created/ran about 8 other forums since 2001, some small, some busy (this one being the largest/busiest/long lasting one of them all), some not so busy, some that turned into internet brawls.... and this one has to be, without a doubt, the best one hands down. Thank you, all of you, for making this forum such a success. Happy Holidays to you all.

Donation sent. Everyone who gets information from this forum should kick in something. If you downloaded the manual - that alone is worth $20.

Good bump.

A lot of helpful people on this board.

Hey Dupo, sorry to be a little late with this donation, I just now saw this post, not sure how I missed it for this long. Thanks for a great forum, I've certainly benefited in more ways than most this year simply from the encouragement I've received from so many members after my wreck and during my recovery this year. I just finished putting the final touches back on my bike this afternoon and I'm planning to ride tomorrow and enjoy being back on two wheels once again.

Best to you and may you have a great year. :2tup:
