Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can I ask a quick question. Was this poll not made after you said you were going to charge either way anyway. And there were like 2 or 3 other polls with 70 to 100+ votes against charging. Maybe most of them people left after you said you were going to charge for sure and did not vote on the last poll..............................................
But I remember the first polls not being for this charge? Just a thought

Yes. I would make you a Benefactor Member. I never said this would be a perfect method of determining credibility. But I do think it will be somewhat of a deterrent against those people making up multiple registrations to post on the BOI.

Stop bending over backwards for these people. Scrap the low chicken crap level and make it $25 minimum!!! At least the whining will be for a more substantial reason.

Well surprisingly quite a few people did say I wasn't charging enough. But fortunately I do have the higher levels available for them if they feel that way.

Separate the men from the boys. People dont appreciate what they have till its gone anyway, so show them. Close it down then take a trip for a week. Count the number of payments you get when you get back and decide then whether it is worth it or not. Stop beating around the bush and make people pay for what you have put together here.

I don't know. I don't have a marker on the PayPal account. I think it will be a combination of how many people do sign up for paid accounts along with how this all affects overall traffic to this site. There are a bunch of unknowns in this that I just can't predict and have to just wait to see what happens. Worst case scenario, for me, is that I come to the determination that it has failed and I start making plans for some time on the beach, only to have it dashed if there is a resurgence when people see I was serious about that.

I said I'd donate $10 bucks a head under 100 to his $10 bucks a head over 100. So what does he owe you Webslave?

I counted 245 people who have paid (some $10, some more)...
That was just by looking at all 171 pages of member names.
(yes, I am bored, can you tell?)

Some of those are carryovers from before the conversion to the new system, so some contributions are not even $10. I was giving that older contributor icon initially to anyone, even those who donated only $1 (which did happen, btw).
As far as the bet, I don't see how I could enforce it, especially since there was no official agreement on the terms. Just the typical chest beating, it looks like from the initiator, so I didn't give it much credibility. Matter of fact, in a thread elsewhere, people are saying Mr. Jolly is me anyway, so I certainly couldn't collect the money from myself!
