Help support 49ccScoot threadI myself have tried to encourage others to donate to this site, and it usually falls on seemingly deaf ears. If everyone gave just a dollar, Brent would have a good year! But we know that is not likely to happen. Why don't we start a thread called "I donated today" or something of the sort. Then when you donate you could post to the thread saying "I donated today". I don't think we should post the amount donated, because that is not important, or the point. Hopefully we would keep the thread somewhere near the top of the recent threads to act as a reminder to us all. Brent would NEVER ask us to do this, its just not how he rolls. But the fact is it costs $$ and TIME to maintain a forum. I bet he easily has 40 hour work weeks here, answering questions, creating videos and content for the forum. He should be compensated for his work, but would likely just turn around and spend it on a forum related project, or use it to run his scooter through the car wash or something, anyway. LoL! Unless Brent is opposed to something like this for his own reasons, I think we should do it. By the way, I am sure there are some that donate regularly, and I don't mean to step on your toes.

Post a link to his paypal. I was a moderator on a forum years ago and I currently have a facebook group (which I cant regualy maintain and have a staff of admin to pick up the slack) just that is time consuming and taxing! I can only imagine what running an active forum must be like.

Lol I would rock a 49ccscoot.com decal for sure even though I haven't put any Malossi or other product decals on my scoot. If we are into scoot tuning and don't want to see it die why wouldn't we donate to this community.

Cool stuff on that site! I was just kidding, of course, but it was just to "bump" the thread, so we would get more tangible support. btw, ever thought aboot giving the donating site supporters a special title below their usernames...? kinda like positive peer pressure... heh. And no disrespect, so please just take this as me being silly.

Titles have been discussed briefly in the past. How to do them (do they expire, are there different titles or minimums, etc...), not wanting to push anyone to donate, and the fact that some people donate a lot of time or info kinda put the brakes on titles.
