Is this how new users get treated here? I was actually wondering the same thing as Bass Monkey. I fully understand that this forum is not supported by hummingbird, however attacking junior members for making suggestions to better the forum is not right. Not everyone is in the proper financial situation to contribute. However, there are other ways to contribute...intelligent postings, friend referrals, word of mouth. Degrading members by saying that their posts would carry more weight if he donates money is sure to push members away. Personally I'd like to see a Helix and Onix sub forum...but I guess my .02 doesn't compare to yours because I didn't literally donate it to the forum...
Edited to say that this posting was referring to Bob B... PMing Robert would be an excellent idea.
