Same as Sharon, Count me in which ever way we can Donate.

Terry did you have to spoil my night saying who might win the premiership.
I'm off to watch the Blues beat Sandys team in a couple of hours.

Coming back to our subject,
I have had this kind of discussions in the past with terryW and with other members,
I believe that the forum members that are also arillas visitors or potential customers of any business situated in Arillas and area SHOULD NOT have to pay for what they get from arillas.com
 Those who ought to pay the "damage" SHOULD be the people who are benefited ( including my self) from all you people that love Arillas.
This is my personal opinion, I find it a bit embarrassing from the point of view that the consumer has to pay for the product's advertisment
I'm also very worried that we may decide and arrange donations etc but WE are only a fraction of our forum's majority. I must say that this is common  in online-forums.
most forums like ours have about 2000-3000 members but only 30-50 people do most of the posts and answers.

However, I have never been able to calculate exactly how much it costs me to run this website but I think if I add my internet connection , hosting & bandwidth transfer per month , domain registry, hardware & software , wireless antenas, powers stabilizators ( ups), books and everything else I may need per year, then it comes on about 2000.oo euros per year ( DON'T TELL MY WIFE). part of this money I get back from some commercial advertising space that you must notice in some parts of the website ( Googleadds)
This is something that I can afford to pay as I see it as a hobby and not as a business opportunity.
Running this website I have dicovered capabilities in me  that I never knew I had and I'm looking forward to expand my knowledge as much as I can.

If you people think that it is necessary to donate or if that makes some of you feel better the I can add a magic " donate box" to my paypal account and within minutes you can get rid of your money.
Be sure that you will not decrease my costs by doing that.
I will still be spending my 2000 more or less euros per year PLUS the money that comes on top form donations etc.
I think I wrote enough of my thoughts now I;m not always that inspired.

Please  let me know what you think!

I think Dimitris's reply is a prime example of his generosity and the reason he is held in such high regard by so many of us.

Well done Dimitris!

Dimitris Kourkoulos
You do so much for the Forum and you can see from all the responses here that we, as the forum, can do just a little for you, the Forum and of course Arillas.
We accept that it is your hobby but it is our hobby as well.
 
All your comments are listened to and noted and do not fall on deaf ears.
HOWEVER !
This is not open to negotiation:-
So -  Consider this as a donation to not only your hobby but ours as well.

AND NOW I MAKE IT OFFICIAL

We,as regular Arillas Forum visitors and friends would like to donate all profit received from the sale of the "Arillas Song" during the year 2007,
We also agree to all profits from the pledges and sales from this CD for 2008 to help with the proposed new webcam and continuing upgrades of the website.


So, you little tinker you, you have to accept this.
( It is not open to discussion )

This forum is like a very large family and good families are always there for each other.

Dimitris  - Your family is growing all the time. Pour me an an Ouzo for Tuesday.

Cheers
Neill Egg

Eggy, just like a true reporter you are so good with the written word!

More power to your elbow...pen....or is it fingertips?!

P.S...does "an an Ouzo" mean two? ;-)

Dimitris,

you have no chance to all the members!
If we want something to do, we do!
We all like to have a look on the webcam.
If we can not be in Arillas, we want to see it on your webside!
I can understand you very good,
 but here you can see how we all love Arillas!
Don't think about it and take our present.
The money from the CD is very good idea.
And if somebody else want to give more, it is ok!
And I remember that I forget my Cd last year :(
But I will take it this year!
And if it is more money, as you need for the webcam, no problem,
I think you know what to do with it! :)

With love
Marika

Dimitris,

Before you and Eggy get totally piddled with Ouzo and drag him off the barricades, please make that magic button happen! For those of us who seriously would like to donate to keep OUR marvellous hobby going this would be the easiest way to contribute.

Cheers me dears! :)
Life is good ;)

You do not need to run away, Dimitris :D :D :D

I have no Ouzo here at home, so I have my Apfelschorle,
but I come and drink one in summer with you all together!

I agree with everything that has been said......this is our lifeline! Of course, if Eggy paid for every ouzo he was given this would soon cover the running costs....lol
