Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I agree with many above. You can't put a price on a new friendship and all the validation it brings to the table for both people.

I agree with many above on another thing. $12 per year is incredibly reasonable. I pay more than that for magazines I usually don't even read anymore.

I'm pretty strapped right now....

...not a lot of extra cash, but I think that even I can manage $12 a year. That's more than fair! :)
 
Cool!

I would be more than happy to donate.

When do these changes apply, may I ask?

$12 sounds more than fair for such an awesome site.

:)
 
Question Robert..........

I wholeheartedly agree that $12 annually is so very dirt cheap for what we have here in AW.org. The information, knowledge, camaraderie, caring, sense of belonging and just an awesome place to share our appliance interests.

This is a place I very much enjoy visiting every day and would happily “donate” to support the site and keep it up and running, regardless of what “added features” my donation may give me!

So now my question Robert: You have the 3 donation amounts to choose from, would you consider adding a “lifetime” membership donation option? And / or offer a “fill in the (donation) “blank” (with a pre-set max amount?) for those who want to “donate” more then just $12?

Thanks so much for everything you do and have done with AW.org!

Robert, $12.00 yearly membership is a little too low. Most websites ask for (29.95) $30.00 1 year for membership. But whatever the price you set, so be it.
But please make a option for those who wish to give more through PayPal because the work you put out through the years has been priceless and we all cannot thank you enough for your devoted dedication to this wonderful website. Also..., thinks about considering using age verification for accessing the red district that daddy goes to visit and momma whispers about.
Something to think about later in the future.

Thanks,

Larry
 
I agree whole-heartedly

that $12 is extremely reasonable. I'd suggest you make it a MINIMUM donation of $12, thus allowing those who wanna sweeten the pot to do so. You have our admiration and gratitude, Robert. At risk of sounding redundant, thanks!
 
Robert, are any of the "montgomery ward" dvd's left over? ooooohhh buy it now buttons, for memberships DVD's and T shirts. I am totally in. Robert you and Fred are gonna end up on QVC. Seriously This is wonderful news and being able to contribute to the cost of our fav website is LONG overdue. arthur
 
Larry, IIRC the use of Pay Pal is designed to limit paid memberships to people over 18, as supposedly under age persons don't have the means to set up a Pay Pal account, and therefore they wouldn't be able to access the more adult districts on the web site.
 
Fees

For what we gain its a low amount compared to other groups / organisations!!!

I think you should do the fixed fee pay button but then have the option to alter the amount up if people want to do that!!!

It may pay then for you to buy developer time to build other areas, say the museum & restorations areas etc...

Ta for all you do!!!Mike
 
Sounds great! Please forgive me for the intrusion. I know this is off-topic. I was looking at your profile picture. I LOVE that coffee pot behind you on the shelf. The white with gold star bursts. I love the 50's and 60's star burst stuff. Could you tell me who made that? I have to find one. LOL Thank you for your time. HUGS
 
Bob, yes you will be able to use credit cards because that is how Paypal works or you can link your bank account as well. You don't even need I paypal account if you are using a credit card. And yes the way to filter out the underage crowd is to require payment through paypal. Its not perfect, but it will go a long ways. There is no 100% accurate way to do age verification, if someone wants to get in bad enough they will find a way.

No lifetime memberships Kevin, because at some point I might not want to do this anymore, lifetime would more or less morally lock me into operating this site. Once a year everyone will need to spend two minutes renewing their account, which isn't much to ask IMO.

As for the extra donation box or area, I'll see if I can get that to work without a lot more coding, but its low priority at this point.

And yes Blondie welcome, its a Proctor Silex Lighted Coffee Pot, try ebay those are out there.
 
There was a bright yellow version of that type of coffee pot at a thrift store near me earlier this week. I was kind of tempted to buy it. I think it's later and instead of stars it has some kind of floral-ish pattern. I can certainly check if it's still there.
