Would you donate towards the up keep of vtr1000.org

In exchange your name would turn say blue or yellow etc

I would, gladly :D - no idea who, how etc of hosting and maintenance but given it's my most visited site it's got to be worth helping out with whatever the costs are. Oh, and I'm an MK Dons supporter :wink:

Bragging rights will come into effect before long, I have no doubt about it. Domain names also cost money and with increasing traffic the site will use more bandwidth (i thinks), so it can help in case it's all used up or something. And without having ads there is no other income on the site to contribute to it, so I'm guessing it all comes from the admins' pockets?

With the requirement of making 50 posts before being allowed full user status of the forum, being able to PM other members etc I would not be prepared to make any contribution unless that particular ruling was relaxed. It's a shame that there have been several items I've spotted in the sales and wants section and due to the regulations I am unable to respond and display my interest.

Really? You need 50 posts to be able to PM? That sounds quite harsh.

hi nick

all you need to do is join in more, for example you have expressed your views on this subject, you will need to do the same a bit more and before you know it you'll be in a position to access everything, we were all in your position once, i found it difficult to begin with, not having any experience with this model of bike, maybe you should start a thread in the pimp section, and update us on the changes to your bike, also post some pictures. it will all help your post count, and at the same time help you intergrate with the forum... :thumbup:
the 50 post limit is there for a reason.
i believe new members shouldn't be asked or expected to contribute, maybe once you've reached a post count of 100 then a small donation, this will increase as your post count increases, 500,1000,2000 and so on.

Wrong

If you where to help with the forum then the rule would be relaxed

Then people know your not just wanting to sell stuff and then wombles off again. :cool2
