TBR Thon
« on: January 12, 2021, 02:21:38 pm »
I hate asking this but I would like to do a thon.

TBR has money to pay for our up-coming bills but we will have no cash in case of emergencies.

I fear the commies in charge will start taking down forums like TBR through their servers.

If that happens we have no cash in reserve to find a new server.

So please help out if you can.

For those who have recently donated please do not donate again.

If you can't afford it, don't worry about it...I completely understand. happy77

If you want to send a check pm me for out PO Box

All others please click the bulldog puppies at the bottom of the forum page

Thank you all

@mystery-ak - Fortunately I still had my PayPal account, but I am planning on closing it due to this:

https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/paypal-says-it-blocked-christian-crowdfunding-site-givesendgo-after-it-raised-funds-for-people-attending-capitol-riots

You may want to consider adding one or more of the alternatives (Venmo is one I have used, but I think there are others). It took just a few minutes to sign up for Venmo, and it's very similar to PayPal.

I donated months ago, but I have absolutely no problem donating again.  This forum has been a lifeline for me for various different reasons.

I fear for the future and feel that we have each other in here at least to communicate and to vent our feelings.  I pray that this forum remains.

I'll pm you for your P.O. Box.

Thank you Myst for all that you do.

With flaming gold balls!  I hate to ask...last time I mentioned why we need it I heard a million purses snap shut.  There were server costs, and I think it reminded everybody of bad TOS memories.  We've been on a tight shoestring ever since.

What's going on with Parler and Gab is real cause for alarm, vis servers.  That's our biggest cost, and if we have an emergency move from our current one it will cost a lot in expert labor, to settle technical issues we've had for a long time.

In honesty, we need more than we've received in the past.

@BassWrangler once dug up change from his couch and mailed it to FR.

That's true! @catfish1957 helped me come up with ideas to make that prank extremely enjoyable. I still get a smile on my face thinking about JR peeling dimes off the mountain of scotch tape I used to attach them to the card.

Of course, next Bupathon I tried to out-do myself and overplayed my hand, leading to my eventual ban. But it was worth it.
