rainman 0 #1 July 31, 2002 OK all, let's agree on one thing: HH ROCKS IMO the quality and quantity of the information (in the other forums) is so high, that dropzone.com could be a professional, commercial site. But..... it isn't commercial!!!! As most of you probably know the whole thing is run by Sangiro who recently admitted that it costs him about a rig and a half per year !!!!!!! Yes, there is a point to this post: Don't ask what dropzone.com can do for you, ask what you can do for dropzone.com If you can spare any money at all, give some thought to a donation to Sangiro. I'm thinking money for a jump-ticket, hardware, a database license, or advertisements on the site. Disclaimer: I don't want to suck up or anything, but running dropzone.com should not cost Sangiro and arm and a leg!!! Oh yes, and obviously I practice what I preach, I even signed up for paypal () to do it. Blue skies,Rainman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcimund 0 #2 July 31, 2002 QuoteIf you can spare any money at all, give some thought to a donation to Sangiro. I'm thinking money for ... advertisements on the site. Advertisements are where it's at. If you have a business that skydivers could be a market for, advertise it! The banner ads are inexpensive and worthwhile. If you're interested in helping this site prosper, that's what Sangiro has asked for an I wish more people would answer his call. Everyone benefits! (That's not to say that I won't also buy Sangiro a tasty drink of his choice if I ever get to meet him. I'd be honored to do that.)

wildblue 7 #3 July 31, 2002 I try to buy HH a jump or at least a beer every once in awhile. Go to the pub and click the little paypal logo on the bottom left. ... or we could just start charging a penny per post... ante-up boys!

PhreeZone 20 #4 July 31, 2002 I've helped on the PayPal thing once or twice now... I think its time to kick that back in. Just think every time you see the Advertise on Dropzone.com Banner.... your banner should be there if you are a company that could market to skydivers. (I'm thinking TunnelCamp.com would be perfect to advertise there in the fall/winter )Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue skies, Merrick and I just used some of our necklace $$ and bought some ads that you will see above you here in the forums from time-to-time :) I have to say, though, that it's not completely selfless. I know the $$ will be returned to me through the business I'll get from the ads. This site rocks and everyone knows it!! Where better to market a skydiver's product?!
