I'm not putting down your suggestion, it's always nice to give back, but until Jay says he's running everything out of pocket, I'm not going to just give him money to mod his car :P
no offense Jay.
if the help were needed, he has it... but giving him money to run the site when it's already sufficiently funded is giving money to Jay's Boosted Charity. And you're relegated to nightshading yet another light emitting trim piece on your car.
And personally, once again, no offence to anyone, but I would pay for focaljet. I wouldn't pay for this site. You don't have to feel loved and part of a community to get good info on tuning guidance or suspension setup.
I bet there's a lot more people on FJ that have corner balanced their cars than you'd find here, where the majority of suspension mods seem to be lowering springs matched with stock struts.
There's a fundamental difference... I like everyone here, and it's great that we can all 'hang out', but the fundamental reason for being here is to share my experiences with the canadian community.. to give advice and help where I am able and capable. If I started paying for this site, I'd have to start charging for advice that I give, or help that I give.
There honestly comes a point where I can't afford to pay for everything, and not get paid for what I contribute... I'm not THAT rich.
...and sooner or later other people would realize paying to 'hang out and give free help' isn't in their best interest either.
I agree that it's nice to give once in a while, I've given without the need to be recognized for it, so don't be disappointed that more people aren't giving. The site is running, and things seem under control.
If you really want to contribute to the site, GET INVOLVED! Mod your focus, post pics, how-to's, arrange meets, attend meets, buy from sponsors!... show them your support, and they'll return the love.
