Hi,

Again, this is not as easy as it sounds. First of all, it is not always that easy to be certain someone is trolling and erring on the side of deletion may result in the board losing a poster.

Secondly, not all trolling posts are bad, some start very interesting discussions.

As for 'no trolls, no flames', rather than flaming trolls try ignoring them, works much better.

Sanuk!

Hi,

"Can we get the same ruling for all the off-topic posts?"

As long as those posts are in the relevant forums I see no problem with them.

Sanuk!

Hi,

A lot of the posts in here are of a fairly sensitive nature and because of that I would like to request that you keep this in mind when replying.

So, please no wise-cracks or cheap shots. If you cannot answer in a civilized way, then please do not answer at all.

Sanuk!

Hi,

Yes, I am looking into this at the moment.

Sanuk!

Hi,

Hi,

"Tough questions but would you know how many people are registerd users of this board."

The number is posted at the bottom of the main page: 13884 Registered User(s).

However, many of them have not visited the board in some time. There were 6040 who visited the board in the last 6 months.

"Out of that number can you hazard a guess as to how many have donated in one way or another. "

There were about 80 who donated to the server fund, 29 so far who have donated money and a couple more who have donated in some other fashion. As there are duplicates in the above lists my guess would be ~100 members.

Sanuk!

Hi,

Good point. Do you by any chance have a full list? If so, could you PM it?

Sanuk!

Hi,

"i would like to donate something but i have no CC,don't believe in the things,so how could i pay a donation?."

Granted, that would be tough. We can also accept PayPal, but again that requires a cc. A cheque is also an option, but of course a bit of a pain in the ass. Thing is though that donations do not need to be money, one can donate in the form of content as well (for instance, Rookie got Board Sponsor status for spending a few afternoons going around Pattaya taking loads of pictures of GoGo bars for the ranking system).

I'll accept that my comment was a bit harsh as well, and it was directed only at those who would jump on someone for donating a small amount, yet have not donated anything themselves.

I should have been more clear about that, sorry.

Sanuk!

Hi,

"how do I do it? "

Click the tab called 'Help / Donate' at the top right of any page.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the donation form.

Sanuk!

Hi,

I'm afraid that our backend shows $5. As for people calling you a cheap Charlie, at least you donated somethng. Which is more than 99% of the members can say.

Sanuk!

Sanuk!

PS This list is from Aug'05 onwards. I know there are quite a few people who donated to our server a few years back, but I am not certain if I still have the list (I'll check).

There are also people who have donated to the site in other ways (content, moderating, etc), they are not in this list, but of course they do have Board Sponsor status and their contributions are appreciated as much as money.
