The membership is the most vital part of the forum, I wouldn't risk alienating it or pushing it somewhere else.
Everyone can make their own call on what to do, my goal wasn't to **** everyone off, but I still think I should have said something. A step in the right direction would be to offer something in return other than a few stars above the name.

Just returned to Chi-Town.
Sticky, "meeting costs" might be your goal. With our infrastructure planned, and marketing, and other events planned, the couple of thousand dollars in member support wouldn't dent our costs. However, "Meeting costs" is not our goal. We sure as hell want to make a killing but not by small denominations. 6speed its at its infancy still, and will be until we raise the bar towards our vision. We have a vision where our logo would be associated with car fanatics, as the "cigarette " logo is associated with boat fans. Its the logo which would take us to where we want to be with this forum.

Sticky,
I'am sure you gleaned more than 25.00 or 50.00 worth of tech info, how to's, interesting stories, laughs, and just good porsche info.from this site, so it really isn't charity is it?
Don't contribute if you feel It's not justified, no one cares,but don't tell the man about how to run his business when you don't really know whats going on with the board.
As you mature, you'll find out that knowledge is power ,It's not always about dollars..
PS ,Shank where are my gold stars?

Joe,
Silver support? is that because your car is silver, or did you run out of money buying that carbon hood?
