    Donor Status and Moi.
    No, NOT you, ME,
    Although you are welcome to the "Me" position as you like.


    By nature my charity is interpersonal.
    Not to organizations. I got my refund from, "We Build The Wall".


    My donor status boils down to how many more hours of alone time
    would I experience without PF.
    The friends I have met on PF.
    And basically, good things such as inspired intellectual activity in a
    :oldman:.


    Maybe it is my 99+% of my Ashkenazi genome or that 0.1% Yakhut.
    I do feel good doing the good thing and have just contributed to PF,
    again.
    Thank you PF.



    For Future Moderator Edit:

    I do believe regular contributors should get a "Get Out Of Jail Free" credit
    that might even be transferred to another, such as, oh I don't know,
    maybe
    @Spooky ?
    :sniff:
    End for Future Moderator Edit. Some are "past" donors. <harrumph>.

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    You are a good member of the forum and I’m sure the mods have taken your suggestion on board.

    Good idea! T shirts, hats with MPFGA, music clips (tecoyah could contribute his rap), indigestion and heart tablets with the PF logo.

    Printfection is an awesome place for a PF store!

    IDW.Community allows folks trade activity points for Swag..Or Cash...

    Bad Idea IMO.

    Site_Stores build more community feel...

    And help cover Costs.

    LOL if we're making a wish list...

    Hosting video, and having an audio video chat would rock too!

    Getting into some big money here. I remember someone mentioning advertisements, but that is part of the charm of PF- no ads.

    I used to own some sites.

    With donations and a store, server costs take care of themselves... provided there's enough interest.

    One of my sites hosted video, had a Vbulliten forum, and A/V chat... less than $250 a year.. to operate.

    Sounds reasonable. I wonder if it would be popular?

    Chat can be fun and entertaining, but can also lead to problems with real life relationship issues if people are unprepared. Still...could be a good idea.

    Pretty sure the average mentality here, is vastly greater than your general SocialDerp site, so any issues would likely be minimal.

    Debates could be live action feed... just think of the bulging neck veins!

    Yes to Chat.

    Maybe different "Rooms" per topic as any member might chose to author.
    I think I would try some "liberal bait" such as,
    Liberals, YOU got some E'splainin' To Do, with deference to Desi Arnez.





    Okay @tecoyah - Time To Donate and acquire a "Donor Status".
    for as little as a one time, $10 donation. ;)
    Isn't all your time here worth, ten bucks :flagus:
    That's 13.3 in
    :flagcanada: :D

    There's usually the ability to have at least (on the lower software cost end), 2 rooms.

    With ad-ons or software upgrades or more expensive programs, you can have several set rooms, (per topic or use.. think, Music room, "Bar" room, Gen_Chat..) AND the ability through activity points, (rank) or VIP status (donor) or just if you feel like allowing the permission (general membership) to have users create their own rooms.

    I suppose I might as well....I do very much enjoy this place.

    Consider it done.

    Not really.


    Some of us get a positive feeling when doing a good deed. Endorphins?
    I think of my Grandfather and "The Workman's Circle".
    Why do you think there is a Jewish Hospital of Louisville, Kentucky.
    Location of the first hand transplant in :flagus:.
    The Workman's Circle was a club of working people donating as they could to public welfare causes, like hospitals. Lots of Jews. I do not know if it was exclusively Jewish, etc.
    There were lots of them. Somehow in unison.
    OMG "soviets" = committees model?



    If I could add a question to the poll it would be about Gentile status. :D



    From #1 upload
    Maybe it is my 99+% of my Ashkenazi genome or that 0.1% Yakhut.
    I do feel good doing the good thing and have just contributed to PF, again.
    Thank you PF.

    That’s the thing the Red Cross Blood Bank likes. “Give blood, it’s a good feeling”.
