A voluntary paypal link for forum support is a great option.  Why not?

I'd go for that

Rick, thanks for your efforts.  Let's set up a paypal link.

Rick,

I have gotten attached to this site. Is the site funded in any way? My point is can I (we) help in the expense to get things back in order...paypal, etc.? You I'm sure have mega time invested in the last few days not to mention previously. Thanks and let us know if we can help,

I've local copies of most of Elvin and VAJim's "most excellent" FAQ/Wiki posts (I clicked "save as" to my local machine). When I have time I'll re-upload. For now...

Rick

Rick, check this thread out for a possible alternate means of recovering some of what was lost.

Umm, I know this is a poor question to ask at such a hectic time, but... 

was it a failure to hold the K-Pass FOB close enough to the 2u server?

Best wishes on your recovery,

I've gotten a *lot* of value out of this forum over the last two years.  Hell, it was mostly why I chose a Connie.

I'd gladly volunteer to donate some cash to the admins, no worries.  But I'd plead against making it members only.  I never joined COG (shame on me) because I didn't see what I was getting in return.  I'm of the camp to give it all away, and then we'll all take care of it.

Wow!  Noob again!   :)

Rick,
I actually have printouts of some of the old threads; a lot of mechanical stuff from when I was first learning about my new ZG1000.  I might be able to help duplicate some stuff that has been lost.  I didn't have a computer in the garage and it kept me from having to schlepp back and forth.

On the subject of voluntary donations or whatever, this being a free forum is one of the reasons I'm here and always will be.

Living OTP, the only threads I ever read are those on the C-10. I ain't got no interest in rides, rallies or whatever but.................

The free info I've gleaned over the past few years must amount to $100's saved from going to a garage at $100 an hour over here. So yes, I would make a voluntary, unspecified amount to the forum. I don't want to be told you've got pay $?? to join but I would show my apprecation.

How about Paypal to Rick?

I would suggest Rick just put up a PayPal "Donations" button somewhere and let people donate if they want to/choose to.   Simple, fast, easy.

I would also love to donate to an effort to get all the old content back in...

Wots this "Paypal" you speak of?  ::)

How about one or two of you make a modest donation to stopforumspam.com? Their 'stop spam' plugin for the forum saves all of us from a bunch of crap, and makes the mod and admin jobs a relative walk in the park. Mention zggtr.com in a comment field if you like.

Appreciate if you post you intentions. I'd hate to tap everyone, I may have other worthy causes to suggest down the road ;)

So, this means we have to start all over again asking about OIL, TIRES, FUEL OCTANE, BATTERY BRAND, FASTEST COLOR, BEST WINDSHIELD, MOST COMFY SEAT, HOW DO I GET THE CARBS OFF, SHOULD I PUT NITROGEN IN MY TIRES, HOW DO I GET THIS B!TCH ON THE CENTERSTAND, HOW DO I GET THE CARBS BACK ON, HOW DO I FIX MY J-BOX, WHAT'S THE BEST OIL FILTER, HOW COME MY GAS GAUGE IS INACCURATE.......? :P :P

This is gonna be fun.....................

Seriously, though, I was sorry to see the old forum disappear overnight, but most happy to see this come up.

THANKS, RICK!

Well it's mid-winter for many of us...  :(
 
I thought I'd bring back some memories, how fast almost 2 years go!  :o
 
Thanks to all of you that post for the rebuilding of info in threads, I feel like we're already back to the point that we can say once again "use the search funtion dumbass"... (or is that just Max)  ;D
 
Anyways, good times as always, thanks again Rick from all of us!!  :chugbeer:

The biggest tragedy in this whole deal is all that quality data lost from the arena. I am curious to see who is the first to post there.
That woulda been me ;D ;D ;D

Hey- I never called anyone a "dumbass", just try to remind new users to search before asking and creating duplicate threads!
