BIG Kudos to all the new (and old) SS

[VCrossfan]

Hat's off to you Ldub, for your continued support and advice on things VX and some not..

[Ldub]

LOL...I like the skelly.

I don't claim to know much of anything, and my "advice" is sometimes worth whatcha paid for it ($0.00), sometimes less...

But I'll share my opinion on many topics of interest...

So.... how much can I get for taking some "advice" of yours??

P.S.... got worried for a sec... "BIG Kudos to all the new (and old) SS" <<when I first saw this I thought... Nazi??... then Stainless Steel?... then it hit me... lol!!

[kodiak]

This is what I was thinking.

Almost nothing...you may end up owing yourself money...

I thought the "SS" would be a mystery people couldn't ignore...

I always wondered if the "bowtie corp" had their motives questioned when they released the "SS" versions of the Impala, Chevelle, etc...

[VXGirlie01]

happy holidays to you all!

[pbkid]

I thought it interesting, that later the same day of posting this thread, I see an article on MSN entitled...

7 smart ways to buy happiness

# 6 hit the mark dead on...

6. Giveaways

A surprise benefit of giving to others, or to a cause you believe in, is how good it makes you feel.

Studies show that altruism not only tickles the feel-good centers in the brain, but it also creates a sense of social bonding and mutual support that enhances your personal well-being.

You don't have to give millions to get that payoff. The most important thing isn't whether you spend money or volunteer time or contribute goods, but that whatever you share -- and however you share it -- means a lot to you.

Oh I don't know. I mean, since we're sharing opinions, that could have been seen as an honest mistake when considering some of the attempted bullying tactics in the past to "encourage" site supporting participation.



Since some members seem to be on here day-in and day-out accumulating 1000's of posts, maybe a pro-rated donation system based on actual usage/need should be incorporated?

Just an opinion.

[kpaske]

So what, we're charging Ldub by minutes of usage now? Can we atleast give him rollover minutes and free nights and weekends?

Thanks for the reminder, just reupped my support. Oh how good it feels to give...

And a fine opinion it is...
Last I checked, I'm paid up through 2010, and just did about $100.00 of my Christmas shopping at the VXinfo store.
You think I should be doing more???...I'll see what I can do.
I'm glad to do my part + a little more, and for some reason, don't think Moncha should have to pick up ALL the slack out of his own pocket.
But that's just me...
Oh, BTW, if you're making a (not very) veiled comparison of my "friendly reminder/encoragement to donate", to being bullied by nazis, then you my friend, must have led a very sheltered existence.

AMEN Brother!...

LOL...can you hear me now?

I have nothing to do with this... Ldub and I have settled our differences... (I think)(I hope)

I was just making an totally innocent comment about what I thought the "SS" meant... I meant no references other than that... everyone else that replied to this thread seems to know what I meant... sorry if this stirred up shyte.

I'm very happy to have finally been able to donate... the reason I was able to is this:

Those are mine... I sold them to uncle asa in russia... I am shipping them out today... I hope he is happy with them.

But who's counting eh? As long as you know, that's the important thing. I mean, since it's all about giving and not a need for recognition or anything like that...right?

You think I should be doing more???...I'll see what I can do.

If I do start to think that, I'll let you know. In the meantime, how about we agree on this. You take care of your half of the conversation and I'll take care of mine.

Actually, it was the recollection of all the childish, hateful name-calling and holier-than-thou self-adulation (similar to what your doing again now) that came across as nazi-ish last time....but maybe that was just me. Or do you not remember that part?

iamironman - The only reason I quoted you was because you happened to be the person to make the SS/Nazi comment. I knew you didn't mean it to imply anything along the lines of what I used it for. And I still don't see this as shyte being stirred up anyway, merely an exchange of opinions.

In all Ldub, if you feel the need to think of me as an adversary, or someone who doesn't like you one little bit, that's totally up to you. Other than the fact that you seem to have latched on to something I said (that was misinterpreted from the start anyway), I can't say that I've really given you or the matter all that much thought since then. (Meaning no disrespect to Moncha or his efforts on this site).

So to clear up what was misinterpreted back then. I never said I was opposed to donating to the site, that was what someone else implied. If I had been that opposed to the idea of helping this site continue, I never would have donated to the new server fund at that time.

We all have our reasons and justifications for doing what we do, but I won't bore you with mine on this topic or stand idly by while you attempt to belittle me with yours. Regardless of what they are, they can be misinterpreted at times by others. For example, to me it might appear that too much of your self-esteem is tied in with your ownership of a VehiCross, and as a by-product, your image on this website, but I admit that I may be misinterpreting what I "see" as you continue to try to justify your actions with your also-not-so-veiled comments.

But hey, none of this mutual condescension is doing anyone any good now is it....? You can call me all the names that you want, but despite what you or anyone else may want to think, I'm not using that as a justification for not having donated to this site to date.
