Hanno..
I always pay cash... Can We send Sean cash by mail here in Canada..??It is a lot cheaper to pay Sean here in Canada.. Or do we have to pay you ..?? I will send this duplicate posting to you by e-mail. Further why not have European and British MLU'ers pay you...Canadian's and Americans pay Sean and Anzacs pay Keith.. Saves a hell of a lot of exchange expenses..You three should have identical access to the account to pay bills or account for the cash to each other and to the members..and it gives credence to honesty on the site that there would never be any question of "Getting Ripped off" by MLUers or administration.. Alex

Just kicked $20CAD over. via PayPal. Not a lot but if even a small percentage of the members do a similar donation, it should cover the basic fees.
Keep up the good work, its very much appreciated.

OK just sent a donation hope it's enough. Hanno keep us updated on amount needed as the volunteers running MLU shouldn't be out of pocket as their time input is highly valuable.

Hanno, as I passed on to Geoff a couple years ago I will pass on to you...
I am willing to undertake the fundraising effort towards MLU through sales of T shirts and hats at various mv events here in Ontario Canada as well as online sales... I am even willing to front the costs of such endeavours and only ask a 50/50 split on profits to cover my investment and time to do so. All I need is the OK... I post this here as an open message to all who enjoy and view MLU. ![]()

Thanks for all the hard work Hanno.
I firmly beleive that the money collecting process should be driven by the needs of MLU, namely to keep the process simple and central for the volunteer administrators. Paypal maybe Hi tech but basically allows senders to forward any kind of international currency for eventual conversion and with trackable records. Forwarding cash or MO or cheques, or other means should not be refused but it must be realized that it will complicate the process for the admin. Hanno..... would it be too much to ask for a suggested contribution amount.... not a binding amount or your out .....but a suggestions. Thanks for all the efforts..... my PayPal coming up..... Bob C.

I think the PayPal idea is a good one, so very easy to use and safe. I have donated $20.00 Canadian, I hope that is enough. Keep up the good work. Tony Tony Van Rhoda AKA: Little Jo

I have always stated members should compare it with taking out a subscription to any of the leading HMV magazines. Personally I feel the value of MLU is many times higher than any of the printed publications (aside from bookshelf with Wheels & Tracks magazines!). But I think you agree we should work on the basis of how each member values this website and decide how much he/she can/want to pay: "donate what you can spare". That said, CAD20 seems to be an amount most members opt for. I don't mind the size of the amount, as long as the collective donations cover our costs. Regards, Hanno

As discussed in the past, I think that trying to serve the global MLU community from a central point is not going to work. Having shirts, caps, mugs, CMP repro parts, dashboards and WHY, shipped from e.g. Holland to Canada is not worth the hassle and cost. Much better to source these accoutrements close to where they are sold. Saves on transportation costs and allows adjustment fo local taste and sizes. So, in principle I am fine with MLU members using our logos as long as it is done to promote this website and its values and part of the profit is used for the upkeep of this website. Contact me to make arrangements, please. Regards, Hanno

Have replied to your e-mail, we will work something out for you as a long serving member and supporter. ![]() But PayPal is a global platform, so one does not need to have local representatives in each country to go around the membership with a tin money box - dude, it's all about electronics these days! ![]() Regards, Hanno

I am up on all the electronic world wonders but have dealt cash through the mails for years.. Was out to the bank and post office and mailed out $20.00 to Shawn already ..then came back and got your e-mail and this posting.. If Shawn needs beer to lubricate his throat while he slaves away over a hot laptop,while zapping curmudgeons and whackos that are infesting our MLU FORUM..Then he will need some cash...The Beer store doesn't take Pay Pal.. We want to cover ALL our expenses and if beer is an expense for us then it is money well spent.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

It is so obvious that you have never attended my classes on creative accounting.... No wonder you are still a poor working slob... You put beer receipts,listed as "Medical alcohol" under "Medical expenses"... ![]() ![]() ![]() (Actually you put it under "Entertainment" as a legit office expense,same as if you bought a client lunch)

All,
After an initial burst of donations they went down to a trickle. One recent example is MLU member and fellow countryman Henk Minne who recently reached a certain age and made a donation of the number of years he has attained in Euro's . . . no, one does not ask a gentleman about his age. But well received it was! As many members do not frequent this website on a daily basis, I am posting here again to bring this subject back to your attention. If you enjoy this forum, please donate what you can! As long as we can keep this forum running from donations, we do not have to switch to subscriptions or even worse, advertising. . . Thanks in advance! Best regards, Hanno MLU Administrator

I think the administration is doing an excellent job on the enhanced MLU forum..THe bugs seem to be getting worked out and for you and the others is a labour of love..(I assume).. But not knowing anything aboout present days web page costs,may I be crass enough to ask just approximatelywhat it costs to run MLU forum for a year..??? I'm sure I will be shocked at the costs but as the first member after Sean and Jif,I have been a monitary supporter from day one and will continue to be..But curiosity has me ,as I am sure others are interested to know also.. Anyway I will continue on with my contributions yearly..or more often if required.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
