SuzukiSavage needs YOUR help...
03/28/05 at 11:38:50

SuzukiSavage.com has no regular wealthy sponsors, nor a serious business model.

Naturally, SuzukiSavage.com requires funds to operate, due to Internet line costs and the same hardware upgrade issues everyone experiences. For this reason, I am asking for your help. I don't want to fill this site up with pop-up's and unsightly advertising. I like our community ad free!

For more information on how you can help please visit:

http://suzukisavage.com/donations.html

Hi all, I just wanted to chime in and let all the newcomers know that John H is the real deal. He developed this site and pays for it out of his own funds.

The cost has gone up quite a bit in the last year as usage has increased dramatically. We are getting about 8,000 visits a month and have had over 725,000 hits this month so far!!

If we could get 30 people to donate $15 each, that should cover our hosting costs. John is not asking for anything for his time.

Some of you may not have any bucks to donate and if that's the case, then we all understand. But if you can spare a little cash, please help support our site!

as a regular poster here at suzukisavage.com i am more than happy to kick in a few bucks to keep it ad free.
it just means a couple less hours partying this month.

i also ask that you "lurkers" throw something in the pot. i know you are out there by the number of people that read a posts vs people who post. it's not alot to ask. you know what father quido sarduci said "you gotta pay for your sins" say lying 50 cents, cheating 75 cents, masterbating 37 cents. i just hope when i get to the pearly gates i'm not 37 cents short. Shocked

Perhaps the reason the readers outnumber the posters is that most of us "lurkers" think first, and type later. Quite a concept eh?
I will be doing my part and contributing, because John and susan elequently asked for help. One being owner, and one moderator.

cheers

Hello from the uk
just paypalled your account, hope it helps.
anything to keep it add free is worth it.

sluggo have you thought that some of us "LURKERS" may be new to the savage and have very little advice to give at the moment....but in time with advice from people like yourself and our own expiriences we will be able to contribute and offer advice ourselves to other "LURKERS" Wink
