What's it take to get the "owners" to update the site?!?!?

Wait...you guys dont have a recurring payment setup each month to contribute $ here? Buncha poors

These eBay commission rates are quite good, actually. For instance, right now if the customer you sent buys in the Parts & Accessories category, then you make 70% of the eBay fees to the seller. There are various rates that go as low as 50% for their Media category. The commission structure is set up in such a way that it makes it very much worth sending out emails each week to a list of eager subscribers! Imagine earning 50% of the fees for selling a new car on eBay!

serious question: between the habitual donors and the ebay rip, how much a of a surplus does the organization run with?

[RiotAct]

never knew that re: expressobeans' share of the eBay commissions from click-through links. Hmmmmmm... I must have made them quite a bit of money over the last 7 years

The current issues are teething troubles following a switch to a new faster server so...

So, uh, we getting this figured out? With multiple, extended, outages that new server must have some pretty nasty teeth.

[Jugheadd]

Is there an ETA to get the new server up and running?

I vote for some of that reserve money to move us on to a cloud based solution that scales to demand. Between ebay commissions and donations, I'm sure they have plenty in the coffers. Not being able to look up a print drymounting sucks, who gives a fudge about the forums.

But you know - throwing money at something that's been broken for years - what has it accomplished for you?

seen guys do this time and again with relationships

[lujborg]

hey you shitheads with all your donation and post count shaming. looks like i was right.

As has been mentioned it's not a money issue. Give money, don't give money, it's currently not going to make a difference.

EGT said it the best:

I feel just the opposite. I've been a financial supporter of the site since I joined. No way I am giving another cent to this place until all these issues disappear.

[lujborg]

In my opinion, none of that means you should never have donated. This is a resource that you have been using for several years i seems, even as a selling platform.

I vote for some of that reserve money to move us on to a cloud based solution that scales to demand.

I also don't really understand you voting where money that you have had no hand in goes.

I feel just the opposite. I've been a financial supporter of the site since I joined. No way I am giving another cent to this place until all these issues disappear.

EGT said he wasn't going to give another cent, but he has been a contributor for years. I can understand his position.

oh i see. as a member of this FREE community that doesn't require a donation to be a part of, i'd like to say: drymount you. my voice is equal to yours. members are not measured by the size of their donations, we're all equal here. take your elitist attitude and stick it up your drymounting ass.
