Hello everyone,
I’d like to give a bit of an explanation as to why I’ve added this PayPal Donate button.
It’s not a money grab or some kind of trick… many times I go back and fourth with others through email and try to help them in their flocking efforts. I don’t mind doing this because this flocking bug and the concept of how it works really interests me and has become a big part of my life now. Many times these attempts to help others learning to flock have nothing to do with GIjOE or action figure flocking, and numerous times those that I’ve helped in some way ask me if they could buy me a coffee or where they could send a token of appreciation for the help. I always say, “no problem, just put in a good word about the forum in your travels, etc.”, but some go out on their own and still send me something in the mail or though PayPal.
One person sent me a coffee shop gift card and at the end of his thank you note he wrote, “I had to search out your address… it would have just been easier if you had a donate button on your site.”
So to make it easier for those inclined- I’ve added this donate button. I’ve had mixed feelings about doing so because I don’t want anyone to feel obligated in any way. Like I’ve said before, “I would be doing this project anyway, so why not help others along the way.”
In turn many of you have helped me in this project with your input, ideas, questions, purchases, and gifts. It’s just been a win/win for me and it’s great to see I’m not alone thinking about this crazy thing called flocking.
Thanks
Ray
