Do you guys ever wonder where all the donations go to? The site lags at times... So it makes me wonder where do our money go? I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but just curious because my bf told me that sites usually makes money off of members signing on and advertising for companies. I noticed that you have to be a donating member to participate in a few things... conspiracy maybe lol? :D :D :D |
No I never wondered that at all. What I have wondered is how they can continue to add people and keep upgrading the software to handle just a large group of people and not charge Donations never are mentioned unless someone asks about it. You can be on this site for years and not miss a thing without giving a donation but if you do donate there are a few extras given. I see nothing wrong with that. |

I never questioned it until my boyfriend mentioned it to me. He's always frowning upon this site. I always had to back it up until his comments got to me. So I started to wonder where does the money go because the site doesn't work at times and you have to donate a certain amount to post in the for sale thread and GE. Don't get me wrong I love this site and the members on here! |
Sweetie, I hope I don't get you in trouble but tell your BF that Crystalsmom wants to know if he has always been a cheap skate:D If you go to a concert one ticket is $50 or more and a play for good seats usually over $100and that is just for one night so for entertainment every day and every night for years is a ONE TIME $25...geez most of us consider it a bargain. |

I don't mind donating at all... I shouldn't have let his comments get to me... I had to explain to him why the donations helped. So far, he hasn't made any more comments. He spends so much on his car audio equipments... I should nag at him for that lol. |
Yes, I thought that might be part of it (the fact he wants more of your time) Anyway don't tell him this but I didn't donate right away and at Christmas time alot of us have other things to do with our money but when we can get it together it's the best bargain in the universe:thumbup: Good Luck |

You should get a confirmation PM from Admin. And they'll add "Donating" to your profile title. Congratulations!! I know just what you mean. For every problem, there are at least a dozen "different" good ideas on a solution. That way, you can always choose the one that fits your style better. YT is priceless!! |
thanks diane!!! ;) |

We process donations usually within a day after we receive it if it's via Paypal or by regular mail. If your donation is not yet processed, it usually means we have not yet received the payment by mail yet. |

Fingers crosses, I hope she's the right one. The breeder mentioned that if I do take her and pay half the deposit, she can hold onto her until the end of the month which is when I'll be ready to take her home. D- :D |
