Cleopatra Jones Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 i've only been a member a couple of weeks and i was going through withdrawal. i couldn't get on for 2 1/2 days! i'll send some greenbacks soon. edit: sent 25 smackeroos! Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 In Icehouse's first post... he mentioned the idea of a Washington Datsun show. May I suggest central Washington? Yakima? Tri-Cities? Makes it easier for Spokane/Boise guys to get there. And still close enough for Portland/Seattle to have a fun drive east. I will also volunteer my services to help put something on. Keep that in mind, Jeff. Tri Cities would be great. They have that awesome park right on the river. It even has a BMX/skate park in the park, so it could be a Ratsun BMX meet at the same time, lol. (will be donating soon.) Quote Link to comment

hessianben Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Just Donated. Ratsun has been an incredible help in my automotive education. Unlike most forums, Ratsun has a high amount of helpful, highly knowledgeable people who share a true passion for cars, not for internet-flame-fame. Lets keep it alive. Thanks Ratsun. 1 Quote Link to comment

merlin Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 With the AUctions and donations, it should be near 2k... I'm sure the gods of Ratsun are happy for now until the plan is hatched to improve things.... I like the Idea of a biweekly or monthly auction to fund ratsun and what dime dave is doing...

merlin Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 wouldnt that be a phd in datsun related sacks.... In medicine and biology, scatology or coprology is the study of feces. Scatological studies allow one to determine a wide range of biological information about a creature, including its diet (and thus where it has been), healthiness, and diseases such as tapeworms. The word derives from the Greek σκώρ (genitive σκaτός, modern σκaτό, pl. σκaτά) meaning "feces". A comprehensive study of scatology was documented by John Gregory Bourke under the title Scatalogic Rites of All Nations (1891). An abbreviated version of the work (with a foreword by Sigmund Freud), was published as The Portable Scatalog in 1994.[1] Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sounds legit. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 We have surpassed our goal! Which is rad!!! Now I'm going to make an account or prepay a few years in advance which would be rad!!!! We have such a rad community. It was great that everyone came together to make this happen :) Hopefully it runs smoothly for a little while at least this time. We don't want to have to update the software again. We all know how you guys feel about that! 1 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 oh snap well if we decide to auction parts and i still have motor its the sites proceeds....if i sell it as per this i will donate it to future updates.. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Definitely feels faster than before. Everything insta loads on my end, before I had connection issues with it taking a few seconds to even connect to the server sometimes. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 What if everyone put in $10 a year. Well I guess those that use the site. If a hundred members did that, that would be $1000. And $10 a year sounds pretty doable to me. Not mandated at all, but if you like the service, the forum, the people, pay to keep it afloat. Quote Link to comment
burrito213 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 *bling bling sent a few coin for the cause... i will monitor closely and give more if needed. just trying to keep ratsun alive. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 We have almost 12K members (-2 or 3 banned members) of which many have never posted or are nomads who asked and got their answers and fixed their Datsun and moved on. So if you only count members that have posted in the last 6 months, how many would that be. How about the last 3 months? Could we call these 'active posters'? What about active 'non posters' that mine Ratsun for info on their projects? Both would likely not mind donating or paying something toward upkeep and upgrades. So how many are there? 1,000??? 2,000?? 5,000?..... I would bet it's a lot less than we think.... say 500 really active or participating members, hardcore if you will, who love the site and the other members here. Even just 500 members @ $10 each is $5K per year... the mind boggles. Likely voluntary donations would cover everything. I could be wrong in my estimate either way and still there appears to be plenty to go around. What a great place we have here. Quote Link to comment
