2013 Contribution to Golfclubatlas.com
« on: December 18, 2012, 01:36:45 PM »
Friends:

Just made my annual contribution to GCA.com.

Hope you will join me now so Ran and Company will have resources to keep this place going, and post more reviews like Farmington and Cabot.  

I am looking forward to Indian Creek, Old Sandwich, Newport and maybe Oyster Harbor in 2013!  `Glanced at the photos posted of Farmington and looking forward to some free time to dig in.  

Happy Holidays to ALL.

You are good. If you click on contributions on the front page of the website, it shows 2012 contributors and you are on the list.

I am calling out those here that post endlessly, YET NEVER CONTRIBUTE to the site's operation!! >:(

Let's start a ratio of # of verbal drivel posts to the # of contributions made to hosting this site. :P

Yes, That includes the likes of Jud Tigerman, Sam Morrow, et.al.....league leaders, IMO. Others know who they are.

Time to put up or shut up around these parts.

Maybe people would be more willing to contribute if a expense plan for this website were made public.

It, in my opinion, is one of the most glaring omissions - especially since contributions are solicited.

Seems fair and makes sense.

That said, I'm glad to contribute to this site in more ways than verbal drivel.

Kyle,

  While an admirable thought, I'd vehemently disagree.

  This is Ran and Ben's site. They've yet to, and likely never will, commercialize it (believe me they could if they choose to). They benignly, not aggressively, solicit contributions. Neither has ever demanded a dime for access to it. Whatever expenses (and we can all agree there are always such expenses involved in hosting any website), they pale in comparison in what the site has provided to all those who post or peruse. Ran and Ben have the right to whatever small profit assorted contributions might generate. While you sir are NOT among them, only those idiots who make a practice of verbally trespassing could argue otherwise.

This thread should be one post long...a reminder to all to help if they can.

I don't need an account of the operating costs.

I post here because I feel I have questions to ask, photos to share and experiences to offer.

If Ran/Ben have to pay for increased bandwidth, let us know. If hosting costs have gone up, let us know.

Bump!!!


When will those incessant and vapid posters who often use the space here to advertise their incompetence show up and make a meaningful contribution to the betterment of this site????  Just wondering! ::)


PS... Click on the Contributions Tab...look for your name...and ask if you've posted here over 500/1000/2000/3-4000 times without ever donating whether you deserve to remain immune to a calling out?
