Quarterly Fundraiser 2
Hi all,
Bit late with this "quarterly" fundraiser but the long and short of it is if you have a few bucks to spare, please subscribe or send a Paypal donation directly to [email protected]. We've been doing OK so far largely thanks to your generosity, but we continue to need a couple of hundred bucks or so a quarter to keep what is now the number one philosophy forum on the net afloat. As usual we'll keep you posted with updates on how we're doing.
Cheers!

You need a PayPal account. There's an option in there to send money to another PayPal account identifiable by the email address. Cheers (Y)
Thanks for everything you do and for once again giving the Mötley crew that we are a place to call home.

Thanks Tiff. Best to PM @jamalrob about this as he's the one who pays the bills.
I have a PayPal account, but when I click on the link, I just go to my email. All it does is frustrate me and make me think about inappropriate things.
I think grandpa needs Internet lessons.
Anyone?
Its just a matter of taste then. But since you run and own the place its your call. Having ads run the place just makes the place self sufficient and not reliant on the donation of the few esteemed members.
I am, and thank you and others once again. Ill be sure to add you guys to my Paypal monthly billing account once I'm on disability.
Thanks and for the record I agree 100% with @jamalrob on the ads. That ain't who we are.
Either PM jrob or wait a little and I'll do a visually aided tutorial for you on how to do it the PayPal way.
You mean I may have to actually do that? Bugger.

I'll add the pictures in a later century.
Well sure, you made the offer and it would benefit our happy home but in light of Hanover's limited knowledge of PayPal, I think step by step pictures would be most helpful. Don't you? 8-)
Remember how easy it was to read.picture books? Same idea just a different kinda book.
A lobotomized monkey could follow those instructions without visual aids. In other words, yes, Hanover probably does need more help.
It's cheque. And those peas in your awkward dinners you post for everyone to see are not considered a vegetable.
How do you know what a lobotomized monkey would do? My guess is that you're just guessing and you want everyone here to think you have the balls to actually lobotomize a monkey, but I know you'd probably start feeling queasy like a little baby when you started jamming the steel bar up the monkey's nose into his brain.
You don't know American, so stop trying to act like some sort of spelling bee queen. I'll have you know that I raised two kids off those mixed pea dinner treats, both of them performing well above the educational standards that have riddled the deep south since cession.
Send me a pic of your food and see how it feels when I ridicule you. When the shoe's on the other foot, you won't be laughing so hard then.
Drop the double standards, please.
My recipes get published. I would not want to further ridicule you by posting them. :-*
1 chicken cut up
Season salt (the red kind)
Salt
Pepper
Put the chicken in a roasting pan and sprinkle the other stuff on it. Cook at 425 F for about an hour.
Now I've been published.
Oh right, the one that contains paprika.
I cannot say that I have ever heard those words put together in a sentence like that. :-O
I really need a small version of you that I can carry around in my back pocket that puts words in an order that I hadn't thought of before.
Really need a small version or need a really small version?
Not nearly as reckless as keeping a miniature Englishman in my front pocket would be. ;)
See? Your polish on words is blindingly brilliant! 8-)
X-) I like it. What would you be selling?
And I suppose we would have to take care of transport if our book gets sold? Or we'd all have to mail our books to jamal, and when they get sold he pays us and takes care of transport, but that would be a lot of work for him.
I imagine mailing direct as you do if you sell books on eBay. If Amazon or eBay are not used then it would be financially better for the seller and buyer and The Philsophy Forum. As to buyer protection I imagine the good will engendered by a small online community of like-interested members would be sufficient to ensure honest dealings. That coupled with extreme public shaming and even banning abusers from the site altogether. >:)
Exactly ;)

I always have a few books (mostly philosophy) that I have read and/or am no longer interested in for sale on eBay. At the moment I have 3 Heidegger books and a biography of Foucault. :) I have probably at least a thousand books I will attempt to sell over the next few years.
Cool - I also sometimes sell mine, but I should sell a lot more than I do. It's just that I'm often worried I might want to come back to one in the future, even though I don't actually have any reasons why I would come back to them atm. I also have a ton of Kindle books (or other electronic format ones) - the only way to monetise those would be to give people access to my Kindle library :P
This has always been a bit of a problem for me, too. But finally now, as an old bastard, I am confident that the range of my philosophical interests will no longer change that much.
Quoting Agustino
Yeah, I have a packed Kindle as well. I guess you could sell access to your library but Amazon might get suspicious when download to 'My 15th Android Device' is requested. >:O
