When I said I don't think the site should be run by everybody that has contributed, I wasn't vying for power :D


Good, then I won't have to fight you ;)

LOL, no doubt.

Maybe if the spanish lesbians take over, this entire site can continue to exist exist as a subdomain, safely out of the way of their sapphic latin love...


Mmmmmm sapphic latin love....

thought you might not be.  Im just thinking that 10K or whatever in sterling might be quite high for us to raise.  Im wondering would wayne take instalments ?

It would still py off his debts, just not all at once, but over time


$10K is about £6000... according to Wayne, monthly subs come to about $40...

I have lots of Amiga stuff I'd trade for Amiga.org.  Guess that won't fly though, as Wayne isn't interested in that sort of thing.


Hahaha, that's sort of the complete opposite of what Wayne wants :)

I'll throw in a c-note, so long as we see some old-school fisticuffs between Karlos and Matt on who's the top poster on Amiga.org. To make it fair, though, they have to do it in a muddy ring with Karlos wearing red and blue boing balls and Matt wearing AROS briefs. That last part is to appease Moto, Eyso and the few other Amiga.org members who might be interested. ;-)


I wonder how much Karlos and I could earn by performing for "interested" parties ;)

I was about to take exception to that, but on reflection you're probably right. I would estimate that probably only half of my posts are amiga related. Though, expect that's equally true of most members.

All work and no play makes Karlos a dull boy!

Anyway, back to the point. If a suitable model is put in place, I'd be prepared to chip in to the buyout.


Ditto

Total pledged so far = $3075

Running total is being kept in post #4 of this thread.

Disclaimer: assumes that all the pledges are serious, and that we can all agree on some common sense solution for running the site, for example Wayne's suggestion in post #24 of this thread.
NB - If I've missed any pledges, please let me know by PM. I'm not reading every damn post every time, just skimming through. Similarly if you change your pledge by editing an existing post.

EDIT: Wow, my 1000th post! Who'da thunk it.


So we are a third of the way there and from less than a third of all users :)

just set up a poll with several options:

$5
$10
$20
$50
$100
$200
$500
$1000


And see how many pledges we get in each :)
