hambone Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am very impressed by this post and the effort RYY has made to both compliment non vip members and encourage them to support this forum. The ONLY way RWG survives is with cash infusion. Expenses must be met or this website is history, that is the sad fact. It is great that there are so many contributors here. People who realize that if they spend a fair amount of time here and are rewarded in numerous ways by doing so have the good common sense and decency to throw a few bucks to the cause. Bravo to all who do! Those who spend alot of time here and do not contribute can make all the excuses they want for not helping out, but in the end, it is just being selfish and cheap to not support RWG with a token offering of gratitiude.

Victoria Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 - raffle : no risk A) Where is my personality profile?? B ) I thought about PMing Admin asking about a raffle, but then I realised I am not willing to part with any of my watches YET. However, maybe others are. But also, if you actually pay real moneys towards buying virtual "tickets" for a watch, or similar, it could present problems. This is kinda circumvented at RWI and Repgeeks, because they earn money for posts, which in turn is used during raffles for watches. Thus, it would look very odd and cheap indeed if someone complained a watch they won didn't work, etc. That would not be the case, as much, on a watch we had all paid good money for...but hey, maybe we could all sign a waiver before buying the "ticket", or someone could step up to fix said watch, if something goes wrong. Ideas...ideas...ideas. Just floating it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Um Victoria we have had many such raffles, where members pay real money for tickets to win watches that have been donated by the collectors, however there are other problems at the moment that make this less feasible right now.

ryyannon Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks, Ken! Sorry to hear about the problems, but where there's an RWG, there's a way! How about a raffle for 'A Dream Date With Miss Barrett'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 How about a raffle for 'A Dream Date With Miss Barrett'? A) Awww. B ) Only the best, so start saving guys!

jkerouac Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 How about a raffle for 'A Dream Date With Miss Barrett'? I hope she doesn't mind, but I suspect that a number of members already dream of having a date with Miss Barrett. Not me, mind you. I'm married, although that doesn't keep me from other fantasies not related to RWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 <sarcasm> eh, you say potato, I say, maybe we should embrace feebl..er Febus' North Korean propaganda signature block and smash imperialist tendencies... You know so everyone can share the wealth.... while everyone starves, because no one actually produces, and everyone praises the work of the "Leaders", and no one notices that most of the population slowly dies off... Ah the joys of a classless society. </sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 @Phantom I clearly remember the history behind the sig that Febus has and it's not what you think.

POTR Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Maybe he should have a visible disclaimer then? However, his attitude toward wearing a "VIP" label combined with the sig, sure says a lot. I am sure he doesn't mind the implications as he has chosen the attendant appearance for himself. Go ahead, use "Contributor", I like that label... oh wait, that makes everyone else NON-Contributors.... can't have that perceived inequity now, can we. Well then, use "Supporter", oh, wait.. same thing applies.. Gee.. strip all the labels... Then we can all be [nameless big donat]... or not. And no one can point any fingers... then what? No more [nameless big donat], that's what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
