It has come to my attention that a thread in another forum is giving the impression that you must "pay dues" to use our website. Let's be clear:
SurveyorConnect / BeerLeg is FREE and you are not required to pay anything to view, register or participate!
Yes, we post occasionally asking for help with expenses. But please do not feel pressured to donate. That is certainly not our intent. Do we appreciate the help? Yes, of course. Do we require you to send money? Hell no.
There have been a few instances where people emailed me and apologized for not sending more because they were low on cash for whatever reason. No need to apologize! We'd rather you didn't send money if you need it. Please don't send anything to us that will take food off your family's table or put you in a strained situation. That's not what we want.
All that said, we do immensely appreciate the assistance we've received. Please understand that there are other ways we can receive support that don't require you to send us any money. For instance, there are several people out there that use various topics here for their seminar presentations, newsletters, etc. and they point out where they found the information. This is a great benefit to us and it's not just the presenter that is supporting us by referencing us in front of a room full of other surveyors -- the people that contributed to the post itself are supporting us by providing the content in the first place. So if you can't (or don't want to) send money, just remember that you can support us in other ways. 🙂
We aren't owned by a large corporation (such as, oh, I don't know, a magazine publisher?), so we don't have access to marketing or maintenance budgets. We have to find other ways of supporting the forum.
To reiterate, you are not required to send any money to us to use this forum! Don't believe the rumors.
Thank you!

When you are the best and #1 site for surveying discussions and info as you pointed out, others are going to take cheap shots at you.
It must be the Ladies Stinky Underwear that they are wearing that makes them so grumpy.
"It has come to my attention that a thread in another forum is giving the impression that you must "pay dues" to use our website."
Probably what they should have said is that you have to behave yourself to use this website.....
Which site was it? I see no problem with stating what it was so we can all go look at it.....
Just some Binge drinker shooting off his mouth....

They'll wonder where the surge of traffic came from.:snarky:
That is the number one thread over there.
The way you pay your dues on this site, is you bow three times toward Oregon, and say Wendell is great!
OK, now that we have the Baloney out of the way,
Thanks for the site.

If there was another website anywhere in the world that was as useful and helpful to me as this one is (and as easy to use), I would be happy to voluntarily send them money also. Thank you for what you do!
James
Yeah, I saw that a couple of days ago, considered the source, and just ignored it from that point on.
Couldn't help myself
Rotten SOB's.
And all this time I thought he was dead 😛

Suggested new signature line:
"You don't have to be a good surveyor if you find all the corners."
"Subtlety ain't my strong suit" 😉
Is it that bunch that's gonna learn us to be lunar landscapers or something like that..;-)
That site is so darn confusing for me to look at I can't even find the thread!
It's the top thread, "This forum ain't what it used to be."
I don't understand this......
A quote from the forum being discussed;
"Oh- and did I mention they have no sense of humo(u)r?"
Really now? I must be more insane than I thought. Hell almost everybody on here has a tremendous sense of humor. We just prefer it in words not pictures of ourselves climbing up a rock with our wife's bathing suit bottom on. 😉
:good:
Never go over there any more, but I had to go look like everyone else.
Found this in the thread of interest.
"Other than Keith talking to himself this may be the most active thread of the year."

Paul you cracking me up 😀
PS. Wendell, That thread over there is going to bring this site many new people. There is obviously some that did not know about this great site, but now they do.
