Time for our Annual Donation to thefretboard@outlook.com - Happy 5th Birthday to The Fretboard

bigjon · August 2018

I've just paid £20 by PayPal gift to thefretboard@outlook.com, and I encourage you to make a donation as well.

TheFretboard launched on the first Saturday in August in 2013: the founders asked for donations at the time, and I said I'd chip in £20 a year as a "Friend Of The Forum" - each year therefore on the first Saturday in August I make a donation on the anniversary of this forum's launch, and encourage others to do the same.

We enjoy this free forum off the back of the back of the stupendous generosity of the founders and admins, not just in money they've spent on server costs etc, but most especially in the vast amounts of time they have all devoted to this place. For this reason, every year I also request that if funds permit, my £20 donation be put towards treating the admins to some token of appreciation, and once again you might like to do the same - perhaps alcohol, a slap-up meal, a Netflix subscription etc may help the noble admins to feel appreciated for the saintly and thankless task they do.

I'll have to go student rates for now thanks to unemployment. You can have the rest when I'm back earning an honest dollar/selling dubious pills to eejits in Dalston.

DrCornelius · August 2018

Good shout and doing it now, £20 very well spent.

Thanks to all involved who have helped me spend a fortune over the past couple of years.

interstellar · August 2018

mine will be done tomorrow morning, but just like to echo @DrCornelius and thank you very much for the introduction to the world of guitar gear etc and the inevitable expenditure

Yup just sent mine on condition that you get rid of the for sale sections which taunt me so!

vasselmeyer · August 2018

Thanks for the reminder @bigjon I've just bunged £20 in the direction of the forum. I really enjoy this place and events like the recent Huddersfield jam would never happen without it.

Dontgiveupyourdayjob · August 2018

Just seen this. Sent my £20 across and happy to do it. God bless The Fretboard and all who sail in her!

proggy · August 2018

I would like to make a donation to the site but I don't use PayPal.

Could I post a cheque off to someone @TTony
