Titanium membership?

[herm]

the admins are trying to avoid a system which separates members (i think...)

anyway, if you feel like kicking in, they have set up a way to donate

If you aren't going to offer titanium name tags to make those of us who pay feel better then everyone else, will you at least promise to have really creative and funny titles assigned to the higher levels of the "number of posts" star system?

I'm assuming "Daffe-Like," is no longer appropriate, but I expect something excellent!

Well, since "Flounder" is taken, there's always "Dover Sole," "Halibut," etc.

It would drive newbies absolutely insane trying to figure that out.

The big difference here is we don't want to make money from this.

I like Jeff and do not begrudge him anything he made from his efforts. He took chances...

I spent countless hours donating my time there.

This place was set up specifically with no profit in mind.

There are seven of us, and as long as costs are met, and the people that make this community what it is are happy, then we've achieved our goal.

I'll even relinquish my "Flounder" moniker if that's what it takes.

No one here is better than another.

It is cool to see this board as is, a free place for duc owners to share info...  No financial obligation, no bs.  I don't mind donating to the cause for I use this place more than any other resource for ducati info.  Why not keep it that way, if their is a need to meet financial needs it should be pronounced and dealt with as  a group to keep the sight alive.

We all saw what happened in the prior, why come close to repeating?

+11tyb That would be really cool and it would be funny as hell to see them try to figure it out

Ditto- all I ask is that if it looks like we're going to run red at any point that we open the phone lines for community support.  We can even use IZ as a poster child which ought to make even the stingiest among us break down and cry (maybe even contribute some $$$).   

Totally thinking out of my pie hole but if we wanted to we could use any "Excess Funds" for an annual group donation to downed riders funds, family support, etc.  Accounting shouldn't be difficult if it's run through Paypal as the seven of you would each have oversight.  This could help us become a full fledged Ducati Owners Group or whatever they're called, if we'd like that sort of status anyhow.

Red Flag Fund and Airfence Fund are two that immediately come to mind that have benefited people that are near and dear to me.  I have one friend who was interviewed for RRW for his close encounter with an airfence.  EEK!!!

i made a donation, a while back, knowing there would be no stars & no special membership name, as there was in our previous world. the reward, i feel, is the inner feeling knowing that i gave to help support. i would though, accept stars  &  a name.
