Coming Changes to the Industry Partner Program

[0nesh0t]

I too would gladly donate a few bucks to the cause. This is a great forum and I appreciate all of it. Donation vs. "membership"... Keep is voluntary donation through PayPal. A few other boards that I frequent do this and I think its a great way to raise funds.

I'm in for a donation, I spend more time on here than I do with my live in family.

Having asked in the past if I could donate to the cause, I'm more than happy to donate to keep this great forum up and running.

I haven't been here all that long, nor have I posted very much, but the info I've picked up here has been invaluable, and I will surely contribute. Actually, the wife and I are heading up to 2A Sales tomorrow, which I would not have known about without this forum, so.. I'm in. and thanks...

it is great when a community comes together for a common cause.

As far as I know Hafer's will continue as well Tim just has not paid yet I'll remind him.

Any estimate on a price for IP to register? Ballpark is OK, just curious as I am gonna try to get a few others to contribute.

Hopefully Shooters Discount and High Rock Outfitters find it worth while to join.

I haveno problem paying 25 bucks a year for the site. I pay that for a few forums I belong to.

Wait! What's happening to the monthly dues I've been sending to the MDS Treasurer? He told me that was why he had a fivepointstar?!

The site is definitely worth an annual contribution. It could be voluntary; we just get to put MDS Member in the signature line.

Another source of funding could be a fee or commission for the classified ads

Maybe a $1.00 per ad or 1% of the items selling price.

Now that I've run my shopping list against the OP"S contributors I breathe a sigh of relief. All the local vendors on my shopping tour are on the sponsors list. I've been pretty much limiting my shopping to the IP's since the program started and glad to see all my friends are still on the list!

Have you thought of implementing the NPR model? say Bronze, silver, gold and platinum sponsors? (10, 20, 30 and 50 bucks a pop?) Add a little logo to their screen name.

I for one would love to donate to help to keep things running. That's really the main reason why I went to the big shoots (see a few old friends and buy some raffle tickets to support Don). Well, Mikes MG's did have a special attraction....

I wish that we had a voluntary donation link here. If each member threw in a couple of bucks each year, it could really help out. Think of all of the deals we find, just because of the IP section.

Since the admins won't take your money, just forward your donations to fishguy, and I'll put them in an "escrow" account until such time MDS can use the money.

I think it is a good idea, but give Lou some slack due to his family issues. He has been a great partner.
