c/p from Kenmoresp

Remember to donate to help support the site. Times are lean right now...folks seem to think that just because there are no files coming out for all brands that it does not cost to keep this site running. That however is not the case. Bills for servers and bandwidth still have to be paid.

On average there are over 1000 members online here at any given time. Many, no make that most, of them have never donated to help support this site. Everyone enjoys coming here to hang out with online friends, getting info, asking questions, and getting help when they need it. All of that takes up bandwidth.

There are many who donate on a regular basis and it is much appreciated. However, the bulk of the members don't. This site is not here to make money, it is here to share information. If the members do not choose to donate to help support this site, steps may have to be taken to reduce costs or generate revenue. This could include limiting access to supporting members, limiting time the site is available, making a donation a requirement to access certain areas, or other options.

Right now, everything is readily available to everyone. And it would be great to keep it that way. Everyone for the most part always says how great this site is (and we feel that its truly the best) and how much they enjoy and appreciate the information and comraderie that is found here. We strive to make it the best, so please consider a donation to the site to help keep it functioning and being the best.

Well I guess you are so right in what you have said. I am, or have been in the past donated, to this site, but have neglected to update b/c of the latest issues with Nav 3. Of course we have the same reoccurring rumors which makes for boring re-reading. But I agree with your post and will renew my donation this week. This is one of my favorite FTA sites, very informative, easy to read and dependable. Too bad a lifetime option wasn't available, as I would jump at that chance. Looking forward to my supporter status again

thx kenmo. never knew where to find this info. not one to do a lot of posting as I rather read to find the answers b/4 I post or give info. I will try and keep upon the donations and hope we are back up soon

we have members who have been members for over two years and still dont support the site,but receive all the benefits that supporters do,such as help and files,as i suggested on o5-25-09 let members try the site for a given period of time, say 3 months ,then become a supporter or close the site to them,that would save a lot of bandwith.for all the help that is avaiable a small donation is not to much to pay.may end up with more supporters.just my opinion

I have wanted to donate before many times. I went and bought a pre-paid Amex and I couldnt use it on the site. It wanted my address and lots of personal information even though it was a pre-paid credit card, so it was a no go. If they would change the fact of having to enter all the personal information I would donate with a pre-paid card.

i must say Ken it was a very very good post.... brought tears to my eyes ;(

I think the TRUE supporters are donating at this time!

I do enjoy this site and it has become a daily ritual..
I hope I am paying enough for a full seat on this flight....I do what I can with what I have ..

I have been a member only for a short while. In that time i've gathered lots of useful knowledge, and ofcourse some not so useful. I do my best to help out those who were once in my boat and don't know there a$$ from a tea pot LOL (altho my knowledge is limited to the units ive tested which at this point in time only fall in the nFusion category). I do aswelldonate on almost a monthly basis. I know it takes alot of hard work from the mods and admins, aswell as support from the many members of the site who gain from this site. Thanks for all your hard work and for running such a brilliant site. I will continue to support the site for as long as I benefit from it =]

just transferred money from my bank to paypal. sorry I let some time pass before renewal . keep up the good work...rocco

I think this is a good idea... the donation is WELL worth the investment.

I would donate if I could do it anonymously.

Satellite Surfer

i agree when files are out the site is a wreck, and as a supporter it makes me mad to have to wait till the next day to get a download, i have to agree if you can't support then you shouldn't be aloud to have the same privileges as supporters, if they can't support the site then they should not be a member, I have been a supporter since 2006, this site takes money to keep up and going and isn't fair to the loyal supporters to have to support others not willing to make a donation. I feel the donations are more than fair, the cost of a years membership is simply a night out on the town nothing more, and i would say a 30 day trial is more than enough, but even with that people will just keep signing on with a different name, just my thoughts

i want to donate but have credit card problem. can it be done another way?

paypal works

Now i sure do not mind giving money i have and will again, but this is just a rumor forum now like all the rest, some good reading some not, great people here, i just think we need some truth and i think the people with it know what i mean :)
all in all this forum is one of the best for fta online, but most forums are free and this one should be too, if you want to give, give and god bless you, more power to you, i have given before more then once and i will wait this time to see if the hobby really exist anymore and if not this is just chatter that is free to all let have fun, i mean no disrespect
i know you need funds to survive, just be real to the people and all will work out :|

Phukutoo; I like your avatar. Peace

is just a rumor or not that you are going to support the site?yes there is some good reading ,yours isnt one of those cases.it appears that this is a free forum,or we would not of had the pleasure of reading your views,i dont think the hobby exists anymore but will keep my boxes and see if it ever takes off.

I use a walmart money card visa, works just fine, just register it with paypal.

Consider donating? Consider results! I have donated the last couple of years and will
continue, but hope has a cost, and untill the cost is seen, I'm sorry I will have to wait. There will be more costs when n3 is solved, new box, new dish, new lnb's and new
files....Maybe when its solved there will be more donations...My opinion...

rdblmb2 m,

you"ve only been a member for a year lol so how have you donated for the last couple, or did you forget you date joined is shown to everyone, you should have posted this in the b.s. section cus your full of it

I understand that many people have various views. To get results you do not have to donate as the files will be out after a few days to those who do not donate. I do not donate for results but I do donate for the sake of being a member of a fine forum and to help keep this site running.
I do not feel donating is a duty that is required of me but a chance to help when I can.

:thmbup:

So, n3 is making you alittle gun shy about donating. Maybe you just don't want to donate until you are certain there is a future for fta. (can't believe someone actually said that). Anyway, consider this...Think of all the mods/admins that put in countless hours, day after day, helping people and keeping this place in line. I mean, come on...The work and precious time it takes to keep a site like this running alone is worthy of a donation. The fact is n3 is here, its old news. For some of you it should not be the determining factor upon whether or not you are going to make a donation. What about all the help you have gotten or, all of the files you downloaded in the past that enabled you to test every channel d*sh and b*v had to offer...Ya, thats right, you saved a ton of $$$ didnt you. You had your dishes and stb's paid for before you experienced your first ecm. So how about giving some back. After all, most of you know this is the best fta site on the net so why not show a bit of appreciation. And for those of you that are "unsure about the future of fta", get a motor and try your luck at TRUE FTA...And don't forget about iks. (kbox here I come!!!)

Remember donations are not required. Sites like this cost money to run, and every little bit helps...Also, donation or not, you are always welcome, thats just another reason this place is the best!

Thank you ftabins.

rdblmb2 m,

you"ve only been a member for a year lol so how have you donated for the last couple, or did you forget you date joined is shown to everyone, you should have posted this in the b.s. section cus your full of it
LOL, that was good slip! :|>

I believe I'm current with my donations. But if fta needs a bit more from me, I will glady hand it over. Many, many hours of viewing pleasure, from this sites files & information. Come on people, we're not talking major money here. I can't believe some of the posts.:read:

Come on folks, take it from an old Dave tester. This is money well spent even though new n3 files or not out there is a lot of useful information on this site. I personally can't see getting a free ride at others expense. Remember if you want to play then you need to pay. Just my opinion

I love ftabins and I should keep my hurtful, baseless, and uneducated comments to myself.

Good post, I have one suggestion: perhaps this post should be a sticky in every forum, I can speak for my self only, but it took me 1 week to notice this one and probably most of the members just like me, go right to their forum of choice with out paying too much attention to the other stuff. Any ways, once again good post, every member should read it. It took me 2.5 years to make donation, I just never thought of it before… This site is worth every penny.

not a bad idea at all....or they could give this info out in a PM to all the members....:coffee:

I just renewed my donation for the fta bins :)
Just hoping that n3 will be decoded soon. If not, I will wait till fta suggests some other way to view many wonderful hours of free tv. BTW, thank you for thanking me for my donation FTA Bins. It's my pleasure. :thmbup:

Let's just hope many more follow your lead.....

and you can bet...if another method for getting tv comes about, it will be discussed on this site...

I love ftabins and I should keep my hurtful, baseless, and uneducated comments to myself.

This guy must have had a little help in changing his mind! :)

Sorry it's taken me this long to donate. As I said in previous correspondence, I had a stroke on June 4, and have been paying hospital bills that my insurance refused to pay. But finally here it is. This is a great site, and for the information, help, and intertainment, it can't be beat! Thanks to all the Admin and Mods!:thmbup:

thanks for your supports and hope all is well

I have a Question?
Why is there an limit to want to can donate to me a Donation can be $1, $5 to 500.00
this feels like a Requirement to give 10.00 or nothing what if i felt like giving 5 Now and another 5 next week?
Can some fix this?
This would Bring more People to you trust me if some one gives 3.99 or 5.99 or 6.99 instead of Mandatory 10.00
let people give what they want after all we are DONATING I for one pledge some cash!
$5 for Now who do i give them to?

I'm not certain, JXL would know, but I think the reason has to do with high fees.

Need to add my 2 cents. If a Member donates say $5.00 with paypal, site owner is getting about $3.89 after paypal takes their share. If nx3tgen allows members to donate less then $5.00 he is only going to get paypal richer. It defeats the purpose of helping our community.

pay by the month to see if a fix is gonna come out, $10 is not that big of a donation concidering what a monthly subscribtion cost not to mention for this small donation you get way more, back in the day my monthly sub was running in the $90's. With that being said what i was paying for one month covers a year on here, or look at it this way, if you spend a night out on town you can figure on spending $50 - $100 easily for the same cost your entertained with quality programming for a complete year and help keep the site running so we all will be able to continue the bennefits of this great site. These are just my thoughs, nothing personal to anyone, we all do what we can do, we only ask that all members do their part so it is fair to everyone.

Very good n interesting post,I wish some other way than papal could be set up so people can donat directly to bins though.Living in the Caribbean n without papal account and c.c. it is dificult or almost imposible to donate.

Few months ago, the site change the donations from $20 to $25 for 3 months, Now in N3 we not have any file to download, i think the best option now is $15 for 3 months and in the coming months when we see N3 fixes released change to $20 monthly again

Best for the site and best for us!

Regards

just donate the max and your good to go,,where else can ya have this much fun for so little?

What makes you think that the server is cheaper to run now that N3 is here?

It is nice to see new people supporting the site, thanks again

What makes you think that the server is cheaper to run now that N3 is here?

Exactly, bills are the same no mother what.

also with time, cost always rise, it's called inflation and unfortunately we can't control that.

1 month is $10 not bad at all, other things that cost $10, 2 packs of smokes, 12 pack of beer, a pizza, 4 gallons of gas, these are only a few and i don't think any of them last a month, plus you get to read all these great post lol

What makes you think that the server is cheaper to run now that N3 is here?

Yes is not cheaper!

I think, with the cheapest donation, maybe more peoples will donate.

what is best... 5 peoples for $25 or 10 for $15 or $20???

just my opinion....

Yes is not cheaper!

My FTA is working just fine thank you so much!
I just hooked up another sat yesterday for 101w

Why should people donate?
I heard of this website for being Notorious for banning people!
The other sites speak ill of ftabins.net so i came to see what all the fuzz is about?

And now go back to the other site and express to them that if you don't act like an idiot- you won't have a
problem here.

Only true gold can withstand real acid..........talking about quit?every quiter is a looooooooooooooser

The site is worth every dime, you can learn things here they don't teach you in school, and believe me it's more enjoyable reading and posting questions and learning at your own pace, you can show up an apprentice and in no time be a master if your willing to put the time in. Everything you need to know and more is here. So i'm standing by my choice of donating.

Just a heads up i see this post has been running for 3 weeks now and i think it should continue, in these three weeks i have noticed we are making a difference as people are starting to donate, I was always taught power in numbers so lets keep growing strong, and thanks again to our supporters and mods for all the hard work they are putting into bettering our site keep up the good work.

ok no input today, hmmm maybe everyone on the site has donated, woo hoo

I don't think so and even if it is so,this site will still need our continous donation to keep it up and running.
:thmbup:to you n all the supporters here.Some folks will always turn a blind eye to thread llike thin one.

Every contribution counts(even if it is not moneytary)
I know folks (personally) who has never posted a single post to help or even motivate someone to initiate the decision to do something meaningful.

I strongly agree and encourage that we do all we can to support and contribute to our community in whatever way we can.Never think that your contribution is too small and will not be appreciated.

Well said

thanks for your support

well,i don't remember the last time i donated,,so i put up anothe year's worth just a few minutes ago,i had some extra over time at work,,what better place to spend some of it,lol

I did the same the other day myself, when i got my layoff check, thanks again

With continued support the site will only get better, thanks to all our Admins and Mods for all the hard work they put in, Thanks

Glad to see this tread is still running after a couple of weeks, wish we could get more people to join in on the cause to help with the up keep of our great site.

Another site went down *****.com

That's sad.Let's do all we can to make sure this one don't.

I agree every little bit helps

thanks to everyone who's supported us so far

Indeed thanks to all supporters every effort helps better the site, keep up the great work

Consider donating? Consider results! I have donated the last couple of years and will
continue, but hope has a cost, and untill the cost is seen, I'm sorry I will have to wait. There will be more costs when n3 is solved, new box, new dish, new lnb's and new
files....Maybe when its solved there will be more donations...My opinion...

Why post anything don't waste your time talking about your personal cost.:thmbdn: Everybody is hurtin in some way but a dollar shouldn't hurt that much...
