Who are you to authorize yourself as a martyr for "sbay". First of all- the need of funds are being requested for ICMAG. Just a few pages back, you were complaining about the $250 lifetime membership asking to deduct a fedex fee. This topic has been in discussion for several days in the tokers den with many people that had no gripe with any amount that it took to keep this forum going. Myself excluded. Most of those people have much greater history and roots with this community than you or I will ever know. It would do you good to show some humility before addressing the entire community as the savior especially when you request compromises for something that is voluntary.

i wasnt complaining... per-say it was making the UTTERLY EXCESSIVE FEDEX COSTS gleam out for everyone to see. i can be a self-proclaimed whatever, if i want! sbay rocks, and if they did more bis then gyp wouldnt be hurting.

i happen to be very loyal to sbay/sboo/icmag crew and want to help is that wrong? ill be sending my 250 in when i finish my move and get settled,

it would be nice to not have to spend 303 when icmag is only getting 250....
id rather icmag get 303....

On DH's concerns...i know Sbay, Sboo, and ICmag are different entities but wouldn't it make sense for us to be able to send our donations in with our order payments...this way we wouldn't have to pay overnight twice?????

We could just put the donation in an envelope and mark it ICmag.com Donation

I'm getting to feel like the busker with a guitar on the subway/tube........many people pass him by and quite a few of them like the music he plays.....but just a few stop and listen for a while.......and fewer still put some coin in his hat......but even still......those coins pay for him to be there every day strumming away......

If he gets a few good days then he can buy an amplifier and a wa-wa pedal.......and maybe a harmonica to make the music sound better......

....He ain't begging......nor am I......you pays your money.....you takes your choice.


That being said in all seriousness......it would be kinda nice NOT to have to pay the bills here with a product that may not be legal to sell one-day........what then?

Yes ThirdEye......I have just had a word with the Seedbay cats and they said that it would be OK if you did send any donation along with your order......and that they would forward it for the ICM fund.....

Sounds good to me Sammet


Thank-You very much...

A proportion of the guests will in time become members once they feel the need and gain the confidence to post, they may even become subscribers one day....Many of them now are learning something of USE and I would not want to take that away from them....

Since this seems to be the self involved thread (J/K) I'll bump my own post. I said I'm in when fundage allows it and I'll make good on helping GP AND I'll pay for the shirt if any more exist. I think I deserve a shirt ...

I think people should know that the times are changing in the UK. Right now in the UK they are attempting to recriminalize cannabis and you never know but it might include seed sales.

As an example, look at what happened to RC and Heavans Stairway. God forbid it ever happened, but there could come a day that Gypsy could come under investigation. If this were to happen, and it were known that the site was paid for by members, it couldn't be touched. It would be looked at as a member run site. And that is not illegal. We have our right to freedom of speech. I know it's to early to start looking at that right now, but if this were a member paid for site, there would be nothing the DEA could do regarding the servers. Maybe someday there may be enough members that everyone can pay a small fee and the site could become member owned and paid for so to speak. It would be totally seperate from the seed sales and would be untouchable. That might also allow for the price of seeds to be reduced. Just something to throw out there for thought.

It would be kinda sensible to disenfranchise seed sales from what it costs to run this site.......it would be kinda nice if the members were to take that responsibility upon themselves to help pay the bills around here rather than depend on advertisering that most don't really want or like anyway.......oh in a perfect world.....


Right now the UK government looks to be up to re-criminalizing cannabis......and who knows how long seed sales may be legal anyway?

I've been reading with great interest, but my perspective on this matter is that no one knows the outcome of tomorrow or the next day. Now that being said, I also believe that a lifetime membership is not a smart business proposal, a yearly membership fee would bring in a way better income. Now, if the price is fairly low, then more would sign up and there would be a thriving community. If the pris is too steep for a good portion of the people's, then the community would suffer as a whole and hence lesser activity....

Peace


....so 27 cents per day is too much?

.....someone just told me 80% of the internet is porn sites.......what do they charge?

.........what would you pay for pot-porn?......all these naked female plants just oozing resin....lol!

first i never every have paid for internet porno. its just un american. secondly, pot and naked women sounds like a great idea, and im sure it would help membership like they do over at *20times.com. id definitly be in if you got some nakey girls in here., wait thats just wrong and demoralizing and just plain, silly........

If Gypsy decides to add a little real porn to the bud porn, let us just hope that he does not star in it himself. I think Dutch would do a Lorena Bobbett on him and it is no fun watching a guy called Stumpy doing porn.

On the other hand, internet porn is almost as profitable as marijuana. U.S. sales of marijuana are somewhere around $35 billion, more than wheat and soybeans combined, and $10 billion ahead of corn, which is second place. Don't know what internet porn brings in, but I know it is a bunch.

i tell what you should get setup....the cannapersonals thing.... a stoner dating service is what is needed....I know a headshop here tried it but i dont nthink they piblicized it enough i only ever saw 1 ad in weedworld..... im sure im not the only toker out there who is lonely(you dont meet many hot chicks in my lounge on the sofa with a bong welded to my gob) or in need of some cobwebs ducting off.... It could be for tokers and cannabis tolerant people, an you could run it on exactly the same lines as match.com...

Hey Gypsy have you ever considered closing the site and taking the money to start buying off politicians?

This is of course assuming you don't have to already.
