A big thankyou to all.

1637 hits in 2 days to my newcastle show report and not a single donation. Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I've been away from the site for a while so forgive me if I've missed your posts recently aas this is the first time I've been aware of this site of yours.

But well done.

Just donated !

wow thaks dude, my very first donation :-)

As I said on the site the moneys to go towards a new digicam, but now I think I'll use whatever I get to help pay for my rail fair to the peterborough event, which seems likely to happen in a few weeks, so I will be able to provide another report and set of shoddy photo's :-)

I'll update this site in a mo adding you as the first person to dontate, would you prefer I use your real name of your nick you use here?
Yours

No offence mate, but bitching about it like this is more likely to deter people than anything else.  If you want to draw attention to it, you mention it on the site or put the 'Donate' button somewhere more prominent.

The whole point of Paypal donations is that it's voluntary. If people don't appreciate what's there, they won't donate. If you want it to be a commercial endeavour, make it a pay site, or put up commercial banners. Otherwise you have to accept that you're going to lose money on your project.

this thread isnt a "beg thread" at all, I guess it could be read as such but it wasnt my intention in posting it. I was feeling very frustrated earlier when I posted this, so I am sorry.

The reason I did post it is because I am rather shocked no one had donated, I expected to see at least 1 or something, but I guess my efforts arent appreciated enough, never the less I will continue to do my reports because I enjoy doing them :-)

Yeah right dude...

Photos appreciated, but that was definitely a bitch about people not giving you money. ;-)
Restraining orders are just another way of saying I love you!

and dear god he's ugly ;)

I'd donate ryu, but I got something like two dollars in the bank.... maybe I'll donate that heh, certainly can't go to these england events in person.

But yeah, make the button more dominatrix style mon, didn't realize it was there and I've read like 2 of your reports...

BTW I'm getting ticked at this, how can I re-set-up Amiga.org to show thread first to last post, flat, and start At The Beggining ... someone PM me

I don't, the pic was linked in the forums on a punk distro, I'm assuming he's called Mark because the original filename was mark.jpg... you're right though, it's very rare to get such an up-close picture of this, er... species. :lol:
