Sent , well worth it. Thanks for all the info gang . My next post, stupid Questions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shoop_da_woop 3 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 What is the point in donating to a forum?(this forum?) I don't see why any one would do that unless they were giving us better shit for our money. I an't saying i won't donate but i would want something in return. maby offer us like more accessiries for our guns or something. Or maby they could upgrade the board and donaters could have like special privlages. something, I just think they should offer us somehitng in return for spending money. Just a thaught. John What do you GET out of it? the lack of a mandatory subscription with expiration dates and a "members only" area! What is the point ... maby they could upgrade the board and donaters could have like special privlages. something, ... Have you spent any time on some of the other boards where this is the norm? It's not a cool experience. There's a pecking order and those that can't donate as much don't have as much fun. Screw favoritism. If someone wants to donate they can and we're lucky we have that option. I for one appreciate it! And I will donate something because I was not told I had to. Thanks MakC I just did! "what do we get out of it" Well... I happen to be of the school of thought that a donation ( which is a VOLUNTARY THING) would be to help SUPPORT and OFFSET operating costs of a place that *I* for one, along with MANY OTHERS have come to enjoy coming to, to talk, joke around, have a few laughs, and most importantly LEARN... We have shared our experiences in a COMMON THREAD ( no pun intended), We have come together, in a place where the FREE EXPRESSION of INFORMATION about something we all enjoy is readily available to ANY ONE OF US... ...etc... knowledge is power... and when it comes to saiga's.... this is the place to empower yourself... and POWER THEM UP!!! BOO YAH!!! TL;DR Donate or the site will get suckier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

racolqui 19 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) I donated $5 the day I joined. It was the third time I had been on here. I had owned my S-12 for 2 days. I plan to donate more as I can afford to. The s-12 cost me 3 times as much as most people on here paid for theirs. I started off getting it just because I learned BATF, Oboma, and Hillary say they don't won't us to have one. For me that is enough reason to buy one. Since I made the original purchase which was $789 for the gun, $59 for a Promag 10 rounder + taxes it set me back $901.00. In the next two days I bought about $600 worth of parts and accessories from vendors on this board (including some Promag 10 rounders that were about half what the first one was.) As soon as I can recover from that I plan to donate some more because I have met some nice people on here and learned a lot of useful Information.

pony_express1973 183 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Is there a place to mail donations? i'm not set up for Paypal and am not ready to set up an account with them yet. (i'm still paranoid about giving up my bank account number). Thanks Caspian I also am paranoid about that so would like a address Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pony_express1973 183 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Personally I hate this Saiga site. I stumbled onto this web site by accident about two months ago looking for info about a 9mm. Since I started hanging out here I have spent about a thousand dollars! And now I plan to spend even more dough. This place consumes several of my valuable hours each week reading (and re-reading) each post. My son now hangs around with me again begging money for range time. My wife nags every time the post man drops a box on the porch. And then the people who post here all seem to be un-American. In the last 6 weeks I have sent 5 members cash for some sort of Saiga part and not one has ripped me off. How un-American is that? My only guess is they didnt finish business school. They keep nagging me with "I can help you with that" E mails. Yup as soon as I know everything there is to know about Saigs and I have a collection of about 15 or 20 beautifully tricked our weapons AND after I have posted photos of them all and read the complements about 50 times..... I am going to recommend that this site be shut down. Sorry guys...thats just how I feel...... The family that shoots together, has interlocking fields of fire. Well Said very well said Quote Link to post Share on other sites
racolqui 19 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) I made a contribution on the 8th just because I thought it was the right thing to do. How long does it take to show that I'm a "contributor"? I was wondering the same thing. I made a small donation the second day after I joined (about a month ago) and it doesn't show contributor yet. I plan to donate some more as soon as I can recover some more money. I spent about $600 bucks to business members on this site for parts for my S12 in the first couple of days after I joined. I got the S12 the day before joining. So far counting ammo, parts and the Saiga-12 I have spent about $1700 in the last month. That is why I didn't make a bigger contribution to begin with. I do think it is the best site I am a member of. I was also wondering why there is a warn status scale below my Avatar, it doesn't show anything yet and what do the dots mean below member?

wearefla 16 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Forums take time to set up and maintain, customizing, updating software, and paying the bills! I appreciate the members and all the info and great modding ideas, but most of all I thank the person who started this and keeps it going. I for one have gained more insight and knowledge about the Saiga 12 and many AK variants on this site than all other sites combined. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankywanker 7 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Makc, don't worry about the hater lithium. He seems like a troll. I love this place and understand donations. I want to donate. I'll find the link on here I'm sure it's somewhere. Lithium you're being more than rude. I'm used to crappy sites like buckeye firearm forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
