Who is paying for all this?

[stubblefield]

I see where Muhammad is doing a server upgrade to increase the speed and capabilitys of TractorByNet. Would it be appropriate for some voluntary contributions to defray some or all of the cost? I seldom post on TractorByNet but read a lot of posts and gain a lot of information and it seems that has value to me and to many others - should we users therefore help with some of the expenses? Just a thought.

I'm sure that Muhammad will pass the hat if he needs to. My impression is that it's being paid from from ad revenue, but I really have no clue. I would think that a site like this is valuable property for someone selling tractors and/or tractor equipment. I know I (for one) probably wouldn't have considered a tiltmeter until I saw & heard about it here.

You are posting on and using site paid for, and maintained by Muhammad. His rules are very fair, and his generosity is 'above and beyond' for providing this site to us...lunitics, nuts, tractor-holics all! Can I have my 'free' book now Muhammad? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Yeah, that's what I heard Harv. Twelve grand a year to have it say "veteran member" next to your name.

Harv, I want you to know, I am staying outta that faux-pax you made! You gave Muhammad's secret away. Although he didn't charge me any grand, he likes those ingratiating complements alot! [grin]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Hey, Roy! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

That's the first time anybody's forged my signature. Besides my wife, that is. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
