Exclamation DONATION? TO KEEP OOPLE TOP CLASS?

I Know this is not a for sale, or a wanted as such. SO.
Col etc move to where you think its best

BUT

Who, is willing to donate £1 to help this most awesome RC forum, the best known to man woman and child across the world. STAY the best.

Many or few may be aware of the evening time issue with accessing the site. UK time.

I know that Jimmy/Vicky have other work etc to do and its left to the moderators, inc Gainsy and Col. to keep the pages in check.

But sadly oople is a victim of its own success. Meaning that so many RC lovers access the site in the evening, It just cant cope with the traffic.

SO. who, of you awesome RC people are willing to donate £1 or more(no set fee, this is a donation request) to keep this fantastic forum the top of its class and mean it can stay the BEST RC Forum on the planet!
This is NOT a request for cash page, It is just a request for those that are willing to donate a quid or more. as a way to see who loves the forum and let Jimmy/Vicky will see how much we love what they do, and the Moderators as well. to keep this site the way it is!

Col, Gainsy, please copy this to the pages you feel its best suited. I know you will do whats best.........................
Tartman...................... Out.................

I HAVE DONATED MY £5 TO OOPLE.

THE DONATE VIA PAYPAL LINK IS NOW AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE ON THE YELLOW BAR!!!!!

Thanks mate, I'd just like to say that I don't have a job any longer - I've chosen oople over money and the oOple series and Invernational are wholly seperate from me/us financially (they are 100% non-profit and money is controlled by some nutter - Sxx Evxxx) we put everything back into the races for those.
The advertising really helps but whilst other websites actually make a good amount of cash from advertising - I really don't want to go that way with oople as I wouldn't want to sell out (my ass) in that way. I want to do the best stuff seen and make people happy / laugh / vomit / sex themselves - this is what makes it worth more than my career in whatever industry.

Racing toy cars is ace - I want to make sure people know this.

British oOple Racing Association - like a VW BORA. Next project

Well done Tartman for posting this, we all know Jimmy is way too much of a decent bloke to ask for donations to the site so good on ya for doing it, for me a world without oople or Jimmy in it isn't worth thinking about so as Tartman says if your willing to donate a quid to help us improve the site for you all then it would be greatly appreciated
Count me in, i will stick in a fiver

Default DONATIONS

+1 TO ALL THE ABOVE!

I have not been racing for very long, without the help of the oOple community and all the amazing info available I would not have enjoyed our amazing hobby half as much as I have. As a newbie it was indispensable as a resource and its an incredible community I'm proud to be part of

Just wondered if it would be possible to set a system in the FOR SALE section so sales contribute to the running of the site....not an ebay clone as such but would raise some cash for hosting & importantly it would be a constant source allowing the guys an easier task of juggling everything! As I said its just an idea!!
Keep up the good work, it really is appreciated!!

I'd be quite happy to pay some kind of yearly subscription for this site, its been an invaluable source if information and help to me over the years. I'm sure other oople users would have no hesitation either. I don't know what the exact membership is Jimmy but if everyone paid £10 or so for a year then I'm sure most people would be happy to do so for such a great site.

I am sure most people would happily stick an few quid in a hat, for oOple.

I have got more info from here than from any other site/publication.

as most everybody uses oople including all the clubs to organise and book in and see whats going on and stuff, the clubs have an oople night and everybody could opt to pay an extra pound to race to give to oople if they wanted. Just a thought.
