Donation rant!! - Page 2

**SKI** · 01-26-2002, 12:53 AM

I kicked in my $25 last month... Christmas spirit and all.

I'm suprised at the low level of participation too. I get more use and enjoyment out of AsusBoards.com than just about anywhere else out on the 'net: my contribution is one of the best investments I can think of. Hey, it was less than 5% of what I paid for this semesters College tuition!

Look at it this way. For just 1 week don't spend any of the coins you get in change when you buy stuff. Not the paper money, just the coins. Put it in a jar instead, and at the end of the week contribute it to AsusBoards.com. I bet most of you'll have at least $5.00 to kick in, and it's painless. It's just "spare change", after all.

Let's see.... 5% of a semesters tuition that would be about $450. :eek: I don't know about that. Maybe I'll just collect my loose change. What do you think it costs to ship 30 pounds of pennies across the country?

Edit: Just fixing my typos

My tuition is pretty cheap... $42/unit+lab fees, etc.

The rant must be working...I see the number going up.
Way to go guys!!

Thanks to all supporters the burning rate is up to over 50 days.

Thanks to spookyload for that thread, it sure has helped to wake us up.

What is a premium member anyways? I have seen it on a few peoples threads. Just wondering.

Hey protoplasm-

Where do you go to school at? $9000/semester seems like a lot!

I go to Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo in CA and its only $725/quarter.

I go to the Illinois Institute of Technology. I considered going to Northwestern which is $25000/year though. Fortunately I get a lot of scholarships and loans so I don't actually have to pay that much.

Premium Member is the rank between Member (30 posts) and AsusBoards Expert (200 posts). The requirement is 100 posts IIRC.

All you Experts, follow my earlier lead. Give till it hurts
