Title: Merged topics:Its 2022 and time to donate to WG
Post by: Canuck750 on January 03, 2022, 05:48:58 PM
I hope everyone who frequents the Wild Guzzi site can find some spare funds to donate to Luap to keep the site funded for 2022,

This site has to be the best value for money motorcycle resource I know of.

Best wishes for 2022!

I can’t imagine visiting this site and not donating each year. It’s good to know this will be here when I get my next Guzzi. Hell, I may even find it here.

Thanks to Luap, the mods, and all you guys and gals I don’t know but continue posting interesting stuff.

Time to get donating to the forum done.  It’s the first place I go every morning and the last at night. Also solves most technical questions within a day. That’s worth much more than I actually give. Ben

I have a monthly reoccurring donation. Worth considering.  Not much really for what we get out of this site.

You can also do a recurring monthly donation on PayPal. Set it and forget it.

Never too late either.  PayPal monthly works well also and is pretty painless.

The administration has never ask for donations and as long as the financial needs are met each year the admin is ok with that.
However I must say, one would think that a forum with thousands of members, there would already be several pages confirmed donations. I’m by no means pressuring or even asking anyone to give anything but one can’t help to wonder.
Just saying.

Sadly I am not surprised, it’s just the old 80/20 maxim repeating itself. For 80% why pay for something you can get for free?

I don’t knock the person who occasionally posts and does not contribute but I have a hard time accepting that a person who has posted for years, obviously can afford several motorcycles but does not feel it’s worthwhile or necessary to financially support the ongoing maintenance of this site.

Rant over

Thanks to all those who help keep WG going.

Done, and a subtle bump to the top, for those that need a gentle reminder.

Much thanks and gratitude to Luap, Dan, and everyone else that makes this place as special as it is.

Stay safe & take care

We have to be careful here, it’s not what the moderators want.
Maybe we could take the pressure off, just post if you DON’T want to.. :wink:

All this shouldn't be done with a reminder, it was once explained by Luap how this deal works and what it takes to run it ,so a bit of a donation once a year [or more often] shouldn't hurt anyone.
and of course you will find people that say ,'but i only read here once in a while' ,well so what still valuble info,isnt it .
Cheers

      You can be careful all you want, no pressure on or off implied.  :rolleyes:

       Some of us are at an age, where a gentle reminder to do anything at all is appreciated.  :laugh:

Yes mate I know and I have posted twice on this very subject.
I once suggested a slush fund formed from contributions to pay for a holiday for Mr & Mrs Mc Keever and was urged in no uncertain terms not to push in that direction.
The suggestion to ease off did not originate from me, I was simply reiterating the wishes of the forum owner. I’d be a touch surprised if you haven’t been counselled already.
I reckon a small but non voluntary contribution is a great idea, but I’ll not be getting my way.
