rena_librarianMy board's Gold Community dues are coming up again. These allow the board to remain ad-free and set up our own custom smileys, and if we don't pay it's a huge pain in the rear to set them all up again.
It's so frustrating--with our current number of members--nay, let's just say with the fifteen or so ACTIVE members--it's only pennies a day to keep this up. I asked them to start making SMALL donations when we last paid it three months ago and then hopefully over the three months we would have had enough, maybe more than enough. I've asked these people to donate even just couch change. I've asked them to send me cash and I'll donate FOR them if they don't have a credit card or whatever.
But it runs out on Friday and the Community Chest is EMPTY. EMPTY. "You have 0.00 in your chest!" *headdesk*
I don't want to make this known to the board or they'll really not donate (they've always come through in the past, I will grant them that), but if all else fails I'll just pay for the next three months (maybe six, it's cheaper) myself on Thursday.
But DAMN. They all talk about how much they love the board and then they don't donate. I know we're all poor teenagers (except HM who's married with kids older than me), but really--couch change!
*sigh*
On the good news front, Green Street Hooligans came in the mail today and I am SO watching it tonight, or maybe tomorrow on my DAY OFF. ^_^
