I too have just ploughed through eight pages and am keen to help financially as I actually do rate the site as a good resource

sorry chaps, but its as simple as donate or don't - the amount doesn't matter either imo - I think we all know the hosting costs are low and any other revenue is profit which Martin uses to develop the sites, purchase merchandise and most importantly pay himself something for all of his efforts. Its very easy to say a forum is easy to set up and run, however it takes many years of effort to get a site to this standard

besides, with all the serious talk, we have forgotten about the true meaning of rrsport.co.uk

Yes, that's the way it should be, donations are donations, as I said what got on people nerves, on mines at least it the shaming of members who chose not to donate. And again, I do not agree with a fee to access the site or some special privileges. p.s just to clarify, I did donate a couple of times, but did it voluntarily!

Can I apologise for this post in advance for any offence it may cause but my profession has lead me to be a little cynical.....oh well fingers crossed here I go! I started reading this thread and initially disagreed with the concept of private sellers having to pay fees, my idea of the site was to help out other members get items at a good price. This also goes for any advice passed out to other members to help them cut down on motoring costs. Sorry if this sounds a little naive but I don’t see such these websites as a profit making venture, I am a member of many motorbike sites and have never considered paying for my membership. I certainly don’t want to start now for the simple reason that I drive an expensive car. There are more than enough people (including the government) that want to ‘rape’ me wallet for my choice of vehicle, I certainly don’t want this site to follow such a regime! I too would like to see a little transparency before I start to throw out money to support the site, how much does that site cost....how much do sponsors pay etc... Now I certainly don’t expect Martin or any of the others connected with this site go into debt for my benefit....NOR DO I expect that they will profit out of the site either. I for one like the site and want to be remain a member for a long time but the more I think about the donation I gave a few days a go, the more I wondered if I had actually made a good decision Daz 2017 4.4 Autobiography FFRR - love this car Gone - VW T5 Transporter Long gone - 2009 Disco Long gone but never out of my thoughts - 2008 TDV8 HST |

Daz, it has been pointed out time and again that a donation is a donation is a donation. Its voluntary, period! If you feel that your wallet is being raped already and that if you drive an expensive car you need not donate - then don't. |

I donated £20 a couple of years ago and didn't even get an email or pm thanks. Surely that would have been courteous... 2013 RRS SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

Paul, I'm very sorry that you didn't receive a thanks - I do try to get in touch with everyone who donates, but I can't say why you were missed, but please accept my belated thanks and apologies. Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support! |
