HELP - RetouchPRO Needs You!
>> Happy Birthday Photo-Art Forum <<
On May 31 our little playground will turn One Year Old..
In less than a year activity in the Photo-Art forum (views, posts) has exceeded ALL other forums at RetouchPRO, a tribute to all who generously take the time to participate by sharing their techniques, handiwork, ideas and suggestions. If activity continues at the current pace, by the time we're two years old we will have taken the lead in the number of threads, too.
This level of activity comes at a price, however. We chew up disk space at a much higher rate than anyone else. That's not inherently bad," but "It is what it is."
So what?
As most of you are aware, this site is supported by member donations -- and it's time to look into your heart, but more importantly into your checking account, for a few bucks.
Who should contribute? You know who you are.
But what if I only lurk? You know who you are, too.
What's the right amount?
I can't answer that, but ask yourself: Is the "fun" you've had and/or the knowledge gained worth as much as a new Photoshop book? How much money have you saved by "staying in" and participating in the forums in lieu of ball games or evenings out doing dinner, drinks and movies?
For more info I couldn't say it better than it's said HERE.
Yeah, I know it says every buck counts (and it does) and no contribution is too small (it isn't), but if you're going to step up to the plate, get real on your contribution. Listen to your heart. Do what's right.
It can't get much easier than making a secure donation HERE, where you can also find information about making a contribution using PayPal.
Let's show Doug how much we appreciate this treasure of a resource. Now is not the time to run and hide. Stand up and be counted.
Then KEEP HAVING FUN.

P.S. If this call for donations comes across as being a little forward and/or rubs you the wrong way, sorry about that. It takes $ to run a site like this. Might as well cut to the chase. Why pussyfoot around?
