OK the piggy bank has started, what's the scoop? Well we are first going to use the money to pay the bills, after advertising we pay about $15.00 per month for the site.



The first major thing we are going to buy is the new forum software, I have really beat myself up on this one, but I think it is time we made a major switch to purchase software. The software I want to buy will run $135.00 i have already donated $15.00 to this cause.



So the post is at $15.00



Now, once we are past this and take donations each month, we will build a pot, minus the $15.00 per month for the site, when it reaches a point where we can do something with it, we take a vote and decide what to buy. Could be t-shirts, could be a gift certificate to Mazdatrix given away randomly, you name it, whatever you guys vote on what you wan to do, naturally only those who have donated will be eligible.



Let's hope this goes well and we can do something cool with the cash!

Hunk of crap is adding $3.50 for shipping, PayPal sucks, i am trying to figure out how to fix that, but keep it in mind when you are donating!

i dont know, if i should post here or not. IMO, just thank you would be fine instead of printing what each person donated.

 

Yea true, i just did that so you knew what the pot had grown... but good point.

 

Also a thanks to rxheaven13B for his donation, we are starting to get a pretty good savings going so hopefully we can do somthing fun with it soon.



A big thanks to everyone that has donated and puts in their time and hard work here at nopistons.com, it is VERY appreciated :bigok:

 

OK we have a little savings going, I was thinking we might spend some money on advertising, get some increased traffic and new members. Do you guys have any ideas of places we could advertise?



Thanks.

 

A few things I would like to do to increase traffic, first off we need to get our link on every site we can, if you have any ideas please let me know. In addition as soon as I can come up with some decent traffic generating ideas we'lll launch a little advertising campaign and increase our traffic a bit. Please lemme know if you have any ideas.



Thanks.

 

www.google.com has sponsored links for web searches...you could give that a shot.
