Diff'rent Strokers was born in September 2006, which means it's time to renew our 2-yearly web-hosting package again.

Just done that, so hopefully this forum and the main site will continue to creak along for another 24 months.

Feel free to reward our expenditure by posting plenty of cool pics of your latest projects. Or sending us some beer. Wink

I'm pretty sure this won't be a popular suggestion but what about a 'voluntary' donation system for the maintenance of the site?

Even something daft like a couple of quid a year?

It would ease my conscience, possibly get current members to contribute more & maybe every few years, admin could send contributors a cheap DS sticker to ruin the paintwork on our bikes?

Laughing Joking about the last bit, bloody performance bike stickers.

Set up a poll admin, you never know Very Happy

That's something we have talked about before, and all other models of funding for the site.

I'm happy to donate if Admin would like to suggest a mechanism.

The trouble is, if you pay, you've a right to expect a service in return. The benefit to us paying for everything ourselves is that if it all disappears in a puff of smoke one day, we can just walk away... Wave

But seriously, maybe have a sticker you buy every two years, it can be optional and maybe a different design every time, id buy them and im pretty sure most others would too then we know we are at least getting a sticker for our money!

We've got stickers. 7 different designs. We've been selling them at shows for the last 9 years, or giving them away to members who introduce themselves at shows or at our own events. If you don't have one yet, you need to consider maybe leaving the house every now and then... Laughing

You could have something like the "Show Star" for those who contribute towards costs...
