Hi guys! Things were looking bleak at the STMB during the past 1.5 days....I'm glad to be back.Respect to RAJ, this place is sucking mad bandwith and RAJ MAHAL puts up with mad amounts of hosting BS to make all of this happen. I challenge all to make a donation to PAY TO POST HERE this year (or at least give the Google ads a lil click)!peace,M

It doesn't get any more, WIN-WIN than that.
Wouldn't these fees be going up? It seems like he's hosting a lot more video here or did I just never see the files before?
I think I'm a goon.
but a goon that is down to donate. I'm in the mood to shop for a designer pet crates anyway, so some clickthroughs are definitely the move right now.
I'm trying these Google Ads but frankly they are bringing in like $4/ a day. Classifeds and Banner ads help to... but in all honesty I'm scraping by here.... the only real incentive being the attention my eBay auctions get (and I'm bound for a sebatical with baby #2 on the way.)
Let me know what y'all think. I'm not twisting anybody's arm, but a $4/month subscription payment from a few hundred regulars could very well build a clubhouse in Manhattan.
Before yesterday I would have said there is no way I would pay to check a web site, but damn my day sucked without soul strut.
Nobody is required to pay anything. I'm a believer in hooking people up as much as I can if they feel obliged to give back.
yeah but if you do a "voluntary donation" thing I think a lot of people will "forget" to send the money each month.
If you set it up to be deducted from Paypal on a monthly basis I'd do it in a heartbeat.
PayPal has an option where you can subscribe. Set price automatically deducted from ones PayPal account each month.
I may not be able to contibute to the record knowledge, but I am more than glad to give back to the site that gives so much to me.
Let me know where the tip cup is and I will drop some cash in now, for sure.
absolutely
And I just did.
[email]RAJ@Soulstrut.com[/email] for all paypal, right?
If more dues are in order, perhaps I can go to the next Soulstrut Chicago-related club night and a few of the old-schoolers can kick the shit out of me for a few minutes. Does that work?
Seriously, I would make a finacial donation toward this site. Take away the record knowledge, and this place still is far and above most of the other messages boards I spend (no, not waste) my time reading.
im down for this! (on the receiving tip ....AYO!?!?!?!)
50$ for the cause.
Any more shirts, etc for the shop?
I agree that a subscription with extra benefits would be wonderful.
Let's do this, fam!
No doubt!!! New shirts/style maybe.
I felt so empty while this place was gone.
Within the next couple weeks I'm going to work on memberships. Folks who subscribe will get their money's worth x 1000.. please to believe this.
If folks want to give to the cause today, please use the donate button located here:

This way I can keep tallies on donaters so I can hit you off with goodies once available... and as always -- THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT, Y'ALL RAWK!
