I'm here 100% of the time (Because I have no choice)

But I like it here anyway. Like they say, your drink is only as good as the company around you

MoT started the 2019 only focused thread on 1/1 and it has already surpassed 250 posts.

Job well done everyone!

If you add in the posts in the 2018 HUISABH starting in 12/22, then that number is over 1250 compared to 182

I recall seeing Spinnaker discount codes that appeared tailored to specific affiliates. My take was that an affiliate would push his code and earn some referral fees via buyers who used the code. Maybe something like that could be worked out between MOT and other sellers. And how cool to have a MANONTIME discount code? That's my kind of promotion.

I thought of this after seeing user deskdiver blocked for shilling. These guys want in, so offer them a path: give MOT an affiliate discount code and then put it in the code database -- maybe with a special call-out for helping support MOT.

Thanks BC. I'm really grateful for all of the support everyone has shown.

A member has generously donated web hosting, so this site should be good in that regard for the foreseeable future.

However, there are other costs, and of course time, associated with operating something like this. I am hesitant to ask for the users to contribute, especially since at the current time I am able to bear the costs. That being said, I would be open to adding a PayPal donation button, but only with the strict knowledge that it is completely voluntary and I do not expect members to use it.

I like the idea of being able to provide discount codes to members. Hopefully it's something I'll be able to provide in the future, especially if this site grows and the name gets out there.

I think for now the best way to pass along this site is to talk about it with your friends, and post about it on other sites (of they permit that kind of thing) you are a member of, and to post links on social networks you utilize.

You could do this with an affiliate link. Just saying.

I nice gesture from MOT members would to be to donate a small portion of what you saved on your purchase that you found out here on the HUISABH thread.

Just a thought!

I've activated VigLink. If it becomes intrusive or annoying, I'll shut it off. I have considered adding a PayPal Donate button as well, but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with asking for donations.

VigLink?

Patreon has come up a few times, and I've given it some thought. My hesitation lies in the fact that I don't know what kind of "treats" would be enough incentive for someone to want to subscribe.

I am not sure if the forum software can do customized titles, but a contributor title or something might be nice.
