OK - I'm going to be contrary ....

> but I'd like to know more about the finances of the site before I consider making any more donations. I made a couple of donations before there was any advertising revenue and the site was in its infancy.

> Now, if Wendell is still losing money, then that's one one thing. On the other hand, if it's turning a profit, then I think it's kind of tacky to be requesting donations.

I vote this the TACKIEST post in internet history.

Well Roadie, it's evident that you have not read all of my internet posts :angel:

Yes sir. Really though, it takes ALOT to appall me, and my jaw just hit the desk when I read that. I put in my measly 30 bucks a quarter, which really isnt much for all that Wendell and Angel do. If for nothing else, I do it so I do not have to endure the alternative. I would rather cut off my own fingers and gouge out my eyes than to go over there. 😉

You seem to complain a lot, just sayin'

Roadie,

I have to wholly disagree. How is it tacky? Now, if Wendell was begging/whining for contributions while out driving Escalades and wearing lots of bling (think Pro Sports owners and players), now THAT would be tacky.

The thread was started by Brad Ott suggesting that people that frequent this site throw in a few bucks for its upkeep and upgrades. Dave Ingram made a comment wondering about "behind the scenes" financial action, and Wendell released a few facts about the site. No money was mentioned other than what has been collected, and he didn't have to tell anyone that.

So, I'm not sure what your definition of "tacky" is, but this is nowhere close to the threshold of what I call tacky.

And, of course, that's just my opinion.

Carl

Yeah, but what if the choose was between going "over there" or "down under"?

I think,and just my opinion, that was a slap in the face at Wendell. Like others have pointed out, Wendell doesnt ask or beg for donations, nor should he have to. If it were my site, like any other quality site, membership would have a price, then there would be no need to even be discussing this. Financials of any one on here whether site owners or members is not really any bodys business but their own. I personally hope that the Harness' get uber rich from their endeavors, as I do for everyone. If it comes from donations, advertisers, memberships or a mixed bag,its nobodys business but their own.

I prefer extra heavy duty maxi pads, if you really must know. What brand of tampons do you prefer?

Carl, I think Roadie was speaking specifically about David Ingram's post.

OH... I was taking it as the whole thread. Sorry if I got that wrong.

Either way, I liked Roadie's explanation, so I just left it alone.

I hope that suffices. 🙂

Mine's in...I think I put too many zeros in there, though. You think Wendell will give me some change?;-)

No change, but if you are lucky he will send his gold plated lear jet out to scoop you up for the Stanley Cup Finals 😀

Well, I wondered about that myself, so I added the "sarcasm" video.

Have a great week!:-)
