So if somebody donates five cents, they get the dollar sign?
My gut doesn't like the idea and I have no idea why. My brain thinks it's a great idea.
I don't know. Maybe you put a minimum on it? However, five cents is five cents that you didn't have before. Take that * 50,000 and you have 2500 dollars. Imagine if every member we had donated .05 cents a month. That's only .60 a year/member. Ok, do I sound like an ad to feed those poor children yet?
My point is, I would bet most people don't know we accept donations unless they glance at some of the Sherriff's sigs or notice the last link on the side bar at
www.javaranch.com. And most people don't know why the "Ugly Redneck" is called that. I didn't know for a little while, and I am a Bartender. HA!
So what if it was only .05 cents? Plus, it adds more links to the Tip Jar. Long story short, I like the idea, that's why I brought it up. But your the Trailboss..
Let's see if anyone else likes the idea before it gets totally nixed.
