Tango Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 TMBF is funded by donations and the limited advertising that you see in the top right of the screen. This funding is purely for the running costs of the forum.....no one involved with the forum takes any of the money......Stu, Vicki, Admin & the Mods all donate their time free.....but there are obviously costs involved with Hosting fees etc.So....please can forum members stick a couple of quid into the coffers via the Donate button (top right of the window) every now and then.......just so that we can keep this forum going......providing entertainment, support & advice to the members and new members...... It doesn't need to be large donations.....but a few quid every now and then will help with the running of the forum enormously...... Cheers folks......

Tango Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Thanks guys.....it's not about putting large sums of money in......a few quid from the forum members every now and then will make a big difference to the headache that Stu and Vicki have regularly in finding the money to keep the forum running......so...as the ad says....."every little helps".......

Tankbag Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Until seconds ago I had no idea why that was I just thought Moo's name came up orange as a warning about her nutty state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk190 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 perhaps anyone who sells something via the forum could donate a small percentage of any profit made. it wouldnt have to be much, it all adds up and it all helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acting_strange Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 perhaps anyone who sells something via the forum could donate a small percentage of any profit made. it wouldnt have to be much, it all adds up and it all helps. Don't you remember we tried that and I got totally ripped off by a member not donating but he finished up with a brand new pair of gloves...Thats why Stu banned it...

geoff90 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Out of interest, what are the approximate running costs, not including drinks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditjohn Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm on the mobile at the minute but I'll see if I can make a small contribution, I don't make many posts or threads but do enjoy looking through this forum. Like many on here I'm on a few forums and tbh I'm slowly dropping some of them that members seem to do nothing but criticise riders or bikes that they don't favour, I haven't seen much of that sort of thing going on which is a breath of fresh air as far as I'm concerned. For that reason I'll do what I can but being skint pretty much all of the time doesn't help.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we tried a "free for donations" thing............if you had something you was willing to give away for a donation to the forum from the receiver then you just posted it to them and they made a donation loads got given away and only had around 4 maybe 5 donations I did put a stop to posting in the for sale section unless you was a donator but I have now lifted that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acting_strange Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 We could run a "pub quiz" in the chatroom once a month at 50p or £1 a head to enter and split it 50/50 with the winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastanglianbiker Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 not a chance when theres google around but someone would have to win even if everyone was in same room and as proceeds could be 50/50 a lucky member(whoever is fast enough with google) and the forum are both winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
