Besides helping Ian with the site, you also get an awesome bag of stuff from the Pro Shop: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england...eive-free-pats-t-shirt-page4.html#post1462603
How can everyone who is here and a Pats fan not have donated yet?

I have a wife, and 18mo old and live in southern california. What I don't have is a 6 figure income, and there are more important things in life to me than tossing 18$ to a site I frequent.
Now, that's to say, I fully intend on donating down the road, but do not have the discretionary funds atm.

I understand that some people just cannot afford even the $18 per year and that is why Ian is keeping the site free for those who cannot donate.
What I don't understand is someone calling people who have donated the "we're better than you crowd", when they are helping to support a site that does cost money to run.
Perhaps saying nothing makes one sound smarter than saying something.
PS. I cannot believe that all those that have not donated are in the situation that they cannot not afford to do so.
Exactly!!! i know ther are "blue people" on here that can afford to pay a measly $18 dollars.Yes. However, donations pay for server resources, which in turn increase performance. I can't help noticing that your name is blue...
While I agree with those pointing out it's somewhat comical for those who don't pay for it to complain about service, it remains to be seen if donations for server resources is truly the solution to the problem. Numerous "fixes" haven't worked out for over a year (and through a couple of upgrades) now. Any time the board attracts more than several hundred visitors it begins to unravel.
I have a feeling the answer lies not in increasing the server capacity, or clearing another table, since we always seem to exceed capacity in peak demand periods, but rather to restrict the number of visitors during peak periods or at least restrict their access to game threads (or draft day threads). It's lurkers hitting refresh on top of the kids posting every two seconds like they're in chat that fries a server.
Is there any way the game thread could occur in the game thread archive as opposed to on the main board. And access to that area on game days be limited to logged in members with posting priviledges?
i have a friend who recently couldn't take a job because she didn't have the $75 deposit for her uniform.

That sucks. Could they not take the deposit out of her first check?
fair question. she asked and they wouldn't give her an advance until she was there six months.

I'm sorry but if $18 dollars a year, less than 5 cents per day is a hardship you probably shouldn't be on this site, you should be working another job.
Wow, that's really disappointing. Sorry for her.
