What's up with all the non contributors

[leftCoast1963]

Just been spending some time reviewing profiles of some sellers and was amazed at the number of sellers here who have many sales at this site and still have not contributed to it. WTF is up with that?

I have nothing against Wade and appreciate this forum (as others) but its up to the individuals  whether or not they want to throw something towards the site. Did Wade ever say that we  HAD to contribute? Never once he did. I have seen forum sites were Admin figures constantly ask members to contribute and guess what? those forums are wastelands with only a hand full of site Fanboys. This Site would be empty too if the admin here would start "asking" for Donations.

for you to call out members here for not wanting to contribute is a major Douchebag move bro.

I don't think it's douchebaggery to bring it up, this is what Wade has to say about donations;

Donations... smiley-cool


I’d really like to see the folks selling over $1000 a month here in any month to donate around 4%. Obviously any other donations will be accepted. Look for the spinning quarters. These are the folks that are supporting the site

.
Thanks

Wade

PS: One other thing about donations. The fact that someone has donated to the site means little to nothing about his honesty. If people didn't know that before they should after the TL episode.

It really doesn't matter to me if you donate or not, There are spinning coins I will deal with and some I won't deal with. Still if someone is here and has for sale threads up continuously they can throw a little scratch to the site.

Another thing is alot of people only use there phone and may not even be aware of the option to donate, I don't think I have seen it on my phone. Also how many have actually opened the rules thread ? We see post all the time where someone has obviously not read it.

Just my $.02  :popcorn:

There's something to be said for doing the right thing, especially if you don't really HAVE to....

And theres something to be said about doing the wrong thing by calling people out for not donating.

[/quote]if calling out people who earn money here and who do not contribute is douchebaggery then I am happy to be that douchebag.
I guess I struck a nerve lmao.

Wade doesn't ask for donations as such but it is suggested and if you fall into the category of one of the sellers who profit here but do not contribute then deal with it.

I don't sell here and never have, but I contributed because I like the site and would like to ensure it stays around. Take your best shot shemp. Tell us why people should make money here and not contribute a fucking thing to keep their market place going. I did say I was talking about sellers who had many sales and had contributed nothing.

I would extend that even further - how many people have bought cigars here that they may have not had any other place or opportunity to buy elsewhere and having this site provided that place/opportunity - Oh say, came across some [b]INSERT CIGAR HERE[/b] that I did not have access to buy anywhere else and I was able to purchase at this wonderful forum.
