Hey folks
so this forum has been costing a fair amount and moving over to this new BBforum hasn't been cheap . I would like to see if folks would be into throwing a few bucks at Spin to help pay for the migration and to maybe pay Chad a little for basically saving our ass ...
What say ye?

[tonyandrewgiles]

Great idea.

We can mention it on the podcast to drum up some support too.

[Dollarhyde]

Sounds like a plan.

What about raising cash via folks putting records up for auction or sale with proceeds going to the forum?

Just an idea dont know if it would be difficult or not to implement.

[chuck]

I'm definitely in!

[Bezulsqy]

I am all for a paid part of the forum. Maybe put the for sale / wanted thread behind a wall for paying members only.

[Aremagod]

Donations or membership....whatever works....will probably still be cheaper than Mondo shipping.

[thewaystation]

I'll be happy to donate.

[philball1974]

Although I don't post on the boards so much anymore, I think you've all done a great job not taking the easy option and letting the forum die.

I'd be happy to throw a few quid in as a sign of gratitude.

[Jimmy_Mike]

I too would throw some greenbacks to keep the dream alive.

[Little Walter]

I'm in; just tell us how.

[lazyben]

I'm cool with that although I would prefer a deliberately way-overpriced t-shirt as the way to go about this.

[static14]

sounds good to me!

[NathanLurker]

You have my sword
and my axe
and some money fo' sure

[phantomnoir]

Sure. I'll help too.

Maybe you can also sell ads to other record labels (Waxwork, Dagored, Cinedelic, etc.) to help fund for the message board? I'm sure no one would mind this kind of thing.

[bpwlogan]

I'll be willing to help out too. It's worth it!

[chiefbrody]

Absolutely. I've seen other sites have a permanent link for donations like this. More than happy to contribute.

[PentagramVideo]

More than happy to.

It's great to see the site back in action and I'm totally in for supporting all the hard work that goes into it.

[ScoJo]

I agree and would happily do so, in whatever form it takes. All good things cost a little......

[jgibbs4053]

i wouldnt mind donating as well.

[The Cult Leader]

thanks a lot Spencer and Chad! The new forum looks great, happy to chip in. Sent you an email.

[deafmetal]

Chad, great work on getting the forum back online. Where do we send funding to?

As others have mentioned, I would be very happy to overpay for a STBC tshirt.

[chiefbrody]

Was anything more agreed about this? Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it.

[deafmetal]

@chief - I have not heard anything official yet.

@Spencer, Seb, Chad/Monsterworship - Anybody want to take the lead on how we send donations?

[Hatter313]

Oi, sorry i've been absent for a while, job transitioning and all that.

I'm totally down with donating, and for resurrecting my STBC t shirt idea if that would help raise funds. :)

[Bezulsqy]

I am still up for an exclusive STBC part for paying members to raise some funds. Or for a STBC shirt. Or some other way of donating.

I always see a lot of guests lurking. Nothing wrong with that, I did it as well for a year. But I'm always thinking they are getting some valuable heads up info without any thank you or whatever message.... I am a bit conflicted. The generous/human loving part of me wants to share everything to anyone, the greedy lover of exclusive stuff part of me wants it all for myself and my fellow STBCers.
