well I know i dont have ANY money to contribute right now to Jabbas world, since I am in University and literally have 250 bucks to my name right now....BUT i do have a credit card and I can always do it the american way: "buy now, pay later" i totally support contributions as long as they are economically feasible for us "poorer' members. 8)

idea to get around the copyright thing: He legally changes his name to Jabba

Seriously though, i think that for the regular members, an extension of the fast track dl group would be a great idea, extending them into the homemade section of the vault, that would bypass the whole copyright issue about top/5th gear.

dunno what there would be for DL members...but i don't really care, cuz we've been reaping the benefits of Jabba's generousity and the admin's hard work.

yah i dont agree that payment (donation) should make you any more valuable than the next guy who didnt donate as much... plus I thought there was copyright issues with top gear/ 5th gear.... so we shouldnt just let any old guy with $20 bucks access to all the vids... should we? I dont think so, I still believe you have to work for the perks on this site, and that it should not be something you can buy.
And with that said, I will donate without a doubt.

I really like the idea of donation. I just hope that the donation is enough to keep JW running. The initial donation may be big money and enough to help JW solves the current issue since everyone never donate to JW before. However, once members donate to JW a few times or even the first time, they may not or will not donate again after the first few payments. Then JW will face the same problem again.

Anyways, I m really out of idea. If the donation thing is ready, I can always contribute some money. Even though I m saving a downpayment for my first piece of real estate, I really have to help JW. JW is pretty much the best site I can find online, providing so many car videos I ever want, and many nice people like Jabba, TT, Dan, FF and many others....... Thanks! Thank you so much!

Count me in!!!

this has to be one of the biggest threads evah. not in size but every reply is like HALF A PAGE



well as a member of jw i dont use the forum alot now to post. i mostly lurk and when i see an intresting topic i post.. but jw still holds a place as one of the only 2 forums i post in.. and i used to post in it ALL THE TIME
but time is not on my side now a days


so whatever u decide.. donations or fee for pics and what not...


i will contribute


*edit*


btw i know whatever happens ill help out BUT so that no more strain happens again in the future... how about regulating size of signatures?

i mean some of them are CRAZY huge and im sure that slows down alot.
also im sure the search button is @ fault for slowing down forums as on www.tranceaddict.com we have THE SAME problem. maybe a way to fix that?

**second edit*** ok read some and saw someone suggested about the sigs. well how about making the avatars only pics and not jifs. look @ urs dan. i mean ya its cool but little here little there helps alot

not putting anything on u. but i say just pics in avatars and not crazy gifs

after having read the newest 60 posts :shock: since I left yesterday, I can support the ideas of callen, hamlet and brembo

to make it short: IMO,

free access to the forum for new members for a couple of month, so they will see how cool JW is or leave - and the Oldies and especially the Mods can "check" the new mebers (if you've to pay from start, "nobody" will subscribe without knowing what he gets)
...
after that, an annual subscriptions is the most faisable way IMO to cover the costs... after subscriptions -> access to UL/DL club (comment: I second the previously mentioned idea of not giving everybody willing to pay a direct access to the vids -> this would end in some guys only downloading the unique amount of HQ-vids from JW server without contributing to the community)

so the subscription and the Access to UL/DL club is somehow connected (it make sense, the big amount of traffic is done in this section, am I right Dan? ) but of course the Mods are free to decide case by case...


Dan/Jabba what do you think about this way foreward ?
