2010 Holiday Tip Jar for the APUG Moderators

[Sean]

Hi All,

It's that time of year again same system as last year:

Our volunteer moderator team are: David A. Goldfarb, Jd Callow, Ole, SuzanneR and JBrunner. The smooth running of APUG could not happen without them. In spite of 1,000's of new members (often 700+ a month) and the increased activity that brings, they still manage to help our community flourish.

Feel free to make a small contribution to them as a thank you. I've included a paypal link to this post which will let you select the amount you like (and produce a flag in my account so I can keep track). I will let this run until New Years, post the final amount, then close the thread and split the contributions between them. I will be putting in $150.00 to get things rolling.

Feel free to post a note in this thread stating you have contributed.

Here is the paypal link:

This is the best damned photo site on the web, watched over by the best damn group of moderators on the web - period.

(Uh oh... Am I busted for bad language...?)

I think I missed it last year... almost this too, as I didn't understand what "tip jar" meant....

which must have made me miss it...

Think about that Sean! I am not that bad in english, but maybe others non english speaking members will miss it too?

anyway. Payment done with thanks and a happy new year.

Even for some English speaking people I could for-see some confusion. IIRC, "tip" can have a very different meaning in England (think "dump").

 

[SWphoto]

Done! Thanks for all you do!

 

[gandolfi]

BUMP - not a lot of time left....

 

[Shadowtracker]

Done; It's not much, but is what I can afford right now. Thanks to all the moderators!

 

[Jerevan]

Something for the jar... I wish I could afford more. Happy new 2011 and thanks to all of you doing a good job!

 

[ignatiu5]

Done. Thank you to the moderators, and all the best for the coming year.

 

[Sean]

Last call for donations. Thanks to all who have contributed! I will tally the donations and post results tonight.

Thanks again!

 

[Sean]

Hi All,

The final numbers:

18 donations at $310
1 from me at $150

total this year = $460

We have 1 moderator bowing out as they have not been available for a while. So this will be divided between 4 moderators.

Thanks to all who have made a donations, I know times are tough these days.
