Consider Helping out

[BlucollarBeast99]

Picked up all the gear I've gotten that wasn't prescribed from this board from the start, I'd like to see this thing thrive and stay solid. I'll pitch next order, that will be the next time I have crypto ready to go or I'd do it now. Good to see a sense of community and structure

Hello all, I don’t venture out of my thread much, preferring to keep a low profile, but I would like to ask all of the customers here if they would consider donating 5 dollars to the site every time they have a successful order. I realize that not everyone can do it and there are some that won’t do it, but the guys that run this site vet every source here rigorously for your protection. They also monitor continued behavior to continue those protections. So we all benefit in some way, is it worth 5 bucks a cycle?

Recently the site went down because of some fees that weren’t paid. It was only down about 30 minutes I believe but I got more than a few emails from customers making sure everything was OK. I spoke with @“CaptainAmerica” and found out that there was no funds for the site and that breaks my heart. So I have reached out to all the sources and asked them to give a little every month, just as I am asking the customers. No funds go in their pockets, it is 100% used for administrative purposes.

We are all a band of brothers and sisters here sharing a common benefit. Lets make sure the site stays up, as well as up to date and impervious of hackers> Please give a shout out below if you are willing. And the next time you make an order ask your source: Are you giving back to our community?

If successful I will double it,

@CaptainAmerica is this still a thing? I just realized you guys have been running this for YEARS and my career has gone from roommates to owning a house and I’d hate to lose this source.

How do we donate?

How do we donate?

If you would like to donate funds to this site, there is a footer at the bottom of every page that says "donation wallet (btc)". You are welcome to donate as little or as much as you like with no judgements either way. Feel free to come back here and let us all know you did too!

Thank you,
SYn

I don’t want to sound like a selfish prick but it’s gonna come off this way to some people who read my comment:

Why not have verified sources pitch in on this as well? It’s part of how some other forums stay afloat and even just 1% of sales donated to the site from each source would probably be more than the cumulative donations from end-users combined. I’m not trying to relieve users of footing the bill, but it would make a bit of sense if, on top of user donations, sources sent a bit of money toward the site as well.

Let’s be reasonable: Very few users here will donate anything. Most are probably barely even spending 500 bucks a year on this stuff and that may even be a stretch for them to budget. I’m sure we have some wealthy folks around here who can afford thousands a year in gear or more and to them a donation isn’t going to even budge their bank account but the majority of users aren’t running much and likely don’t want to or can’t spend anything additional.

To build upon the concept of sources handling the bulk of donations, it could easily be covered by simply increasing prices by a % equivalent to the % to be donated. So if you’re going to donate 1% of your sales, just increase prices by 1%. This will be barely noticeable to users and then that small amount they’re paying extra will end up going right to the servers thus unintentionally causing them to donate money to site upkeep.

Last alternative I could think of is having people pay to access the forum but that would be like a last resort in the event that nobody is donating anything at all and I would hope it doesn’t get to that point.

Although Im new here, I may be not understanding this thread correctly. But, are yall saying sources dont pay to advertise here? I do know for a fact that at Eroids, the top 10 sources pay boo coo monthly fees depending on their rank. The less than top 10's pay $100 a month. Musclegurus also charge sources (I think) its a $100 flat fee regardless of rank, but also charge extra when running promos, etc. Damn, I thought it was a given sources were paying to do business here. I hated to even post this post secondary to how one gets treated at Meso. If this was a dumb azz assumption on mypart, go easy on me, please

Yeah I don't have any concrete information but I'm assuming sources pay a fee in some type to be placed on the board.

Not trying to sound arrogant, but I know for a fact that they do at ERoids. I heard back in the day the top spots paid upwards to like $1K a month, and a friend of mine used to pay a flat fee of $100 a month, he was a lower-level tier, but had damn good gear; he just wasnt active. MG's had a "advertisement" of sorts, if you put their logo on your source page, it was free on MG's, but if not you have to pay $100 a month. And, if I remember correctly, I think at Meso's it was like $500-$600 a month regardless of ranking. To me, that is understandable, because these guys (administrators) spend quite a bit of time on these sites; over seeing ,maintenance, communicating with IT when crap breaks down, etc. Thats why is was surprising to me that if nothing else, the sources werent paying. Captain America obviously is a very generous person.

Car getting reviewed on Car & Driver will never get a horrible review. That manufacturer will never spend an advertising cent there. So some magazines and TV shows are biased when doing reviews. I like the set up here. No one source gets their thread stickied on top. If there's a legitimate complaint from a customer that doesn't get resolved, the mods step in.

Yes sir, you are correct. Similar to politicians that pay to play. The ones that offer the big $'s get the best seats, aka ranking.
