Try here...TAC@DTF.mail ;D

Feels like a trap!

Speaking of which, Bosky, any chance we can throw some donations to the forum anytime soon? Doesn't need to be a fancy drive with prizes. I don't have a lot I can donate, But I'd love to throw a bucks in.

There's a donate button at the very top. Thanks for making me go look for it! Made a small donation. Wish I could do more.

Not all board Themes have it tho, just in case some people aren’t seeing it.

wow, after all these years I dont think I noticed this and only thought the donations were during the giveaway drives... well I just dropped some cash and 69 cents on top of it  :yarr

nice

I honestly have never noticed the donate button but I'm sending a donation right now

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Can I make a suggestion here that if the day comes where it doesn't make sense for the forum to continue, that we make a facebook group for just general DTF discussion? I know there's a DTF facebook group now, but that's exclusively DT related posts, not the general discussion that most of us come here for. It would be great to give all of us long timers a place to chat about the random stuff we talk about here.

Donated $19.69

Now that Stadler and I are officially cordial with hatchet buried, I can't let this forum just go away. 
That would be a waste of an olive branch....I only have so many of those in a lifetime. LOL
Oh shit, you're right!

Stadler and I were playing the long con.  Just to set up his 22k post.  Worth it.

Long overdue but just donated $35 to help costs of this amazing place.  That converts to 50 bucks Aussie.  Brutal conversion rate.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Maybe a bad conversion rate can explain why his Iron Maiden song rankings are so screwy. :D

No probs.  If you ever get around to that donation drive thing, I'll chuck some more in.  Not sure if 35US bucks does anything but hope it helps a little.

Only 42%?

Well, you know brother, not in my book, but I was just using these stats...

I remember a discussion a while back about how discussion forums are becoming less and less popular as social media has taken over everything.  And how even though they're vastly inferior to having anything like a focused discussion, it's just a fact that they're more popular now with younger folks, and will therefore continue to be more popular.  Something like that.  But I didn't see this follow-up thread until now.

I don't have anything to add, except that I'm glad DTF will continue for the foreseeable future.

Granted, I'm a cynic, but I think that's a telling thing.
