Sorry this has happened to you guys.

I’ve always wondered why this Forum never collected a fee, many on the web do. You are just as deserving.

Interesting that none of the site sponsors have stepped up yet. Where's Jake and others??

As unfortunate as this event has been, just remember the money you saved from the Red Line Water Wetter debacle and fraud perpetrated a few years ago, and keep everything in perspective. Karma? That could have really brought you guys down. You guys settle that one pretty well, by banning MNBoxster, aka Jim, aka Andy, and letting him come back as Lil Bastard. That was a close one.

not to say they should or should not, have or have not... but they already support the site financially by the ads they purchase - i am assuming. my opinion of them does not change whether they have donated or not.

(just my .83-cents adjusted for inflation)

I'm sure many others gave quietly.

Just read this entire thread. I can't believe the law is on their side over a forum members posting. I knew we were a litigious society, but this is just nuts. I haven't frequented this forum too much but I just posted a For Sale ad in the classifieds and now I understand why I couldn't get my link to photobucket to work. I have already sold one item this morning so I'm making a donation of the proceeds of the first sale and will donate a percentage of anything else I sell here. I've been rat-holing Porsche parts for decades and I have to get rid of the stuff before I sell my house and move back to TN.

Site Donation

[QUOTEflavor987S=Interesting that none of the site sponsors have stepped up yet. Where's Jake and others?? [/QUOTE]

I don't think there's any reason for any member - or sponsor (IMO) to feel compelled to post up that they have helped. It's important for those involved to feel free to contribute as they are able and feel good about. The forum admin.s know who has done what and that's what matters.

Bill, Steve makes a good point. The sponsors may have well contributed but not posted that they've contributed.

Steve, I contributed and posted that I contributed not to be proud about the donation to the cause, but to create momentum for others to in turn contribute.

Now I would love to contribute MORE to a legal fund that would pay the fees incurred for Richard to fight these bastards in court and get his settlement monies back and then some.
