Just donated as I realise it's been quitre a long while since I last sent something.

S'alright - (and just donated again because you thanked me - but don't push it! )
thanks again.
ben wont like the idea of sending out pms asking for money, he didn't even like it when i made this thread he prefers to let people make their own mind up if they want to donate and pay all the short falls for running costs out of his own pocket.
some people are really good with the donations and donate even if the forum hasn't saved them any money, but there are some others i notice that have been here years and have saved a fortune in garage bills thanks to other members, but haven't even put in a penny
Why not have a £10 a year subscription that gives you advert free browsing of the site. Once the wee bit of codings done (there's probably already a VB mod for it) it would costs nowt to administer. I for one would sign up

people should have more morals, if you have saved tens/hundreds even thousands of pounds all thanks to a complete stranger who has donated her/his time for free to answer your question(s) and save you money then you shouldn't have to be asked to donate but do it automatically.
All this information (not just answering questions but diagrams/downloads, radio codes, events etc) comes at the expensive of other peoples hard work, time & money remember so to all you selfish people (you know who you are, we all do and that includes all you garages that come on here looking for help fixing customers cars) help out with the running of the forum or your lose it and have to go back to 'yahoo answers'! (god forbid)
OK, so. underneath our avatar we have a banner saying if we have donated. How about those with the knowledge don't impart said knowledge to members who have yet to donate?
tweak the site so that all pages beyond page 1 can only be accessed by donating members, that way, anyone looking for info that has already been answered can be directed to search the archives (which they can only do after donating).
And, dare I say, we are on the run up to Christmas - so how about getting some tat printed up? Perhaps see what's out there & do a poll to see what people would buy as stocking fillers.
(Colour changing mug, Fiat Forum when cold, I love my [insert car] when hot )
Let the poll run for a few weeks then ask people to order.
I think donating is a great idea... Id have already donated but the fact im 17 and can't have paypal untill 18 then I can't manage it...
£10 P/A sounds really well priced...
With the £10 payment I think we should get a members package with some cheap crap like a pen
Even better would be a few FiatForum stickers
Perhaps a booklet or something else aswell?
This is definatly the way forward, I've seen so many other car forums do this sort of thing and it works out really well.

I dont like forums that want money with the promise of info/help
