Jeff Wexler Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thank you so much Andrew (and of course all the other incredibly generous people who have contributed). It has pretty much worked out that members have donated on an annual basis even without any prodding by me. This last year, for example, someone posted "Hey, it's that time of year again" and everybody started up with the donations. There are sites where you have to pay up front to use the site which does provide a bit of a filter as to who joins up, but I have not been much of a fan of that approach. I also wouldn't want to giver anyone the boot for NOT donating after using and enjoying the site for years. I think we'll leave it as it is --- a totally member supported site where everyone can donate whenever, or not, and it's all good. It is so gratifying that our members are getting so much use and the site is doing so well, the donations area tremendous help and motivator for me.

Jay Rose Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I donated a couple of weeks ago and didn't mention it here, because I couldn't see the point... you'd get the money anyway. But now I realize it's important to let others know: Join the bandwagon, folks. This site is important - possibly the most valuable on the web, for our particular field - and should be supported. Throwing in the cost of a few Subway Tunas will go a long way, if we all contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thank you, Jay, for the group encouragement. I'll even take a Subway Tuna as a donation. But seriously, everyone has been very generous and it has gone a long way to keep JWSOUND a fully member supported site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Riordan Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hey Jeff, I finally made a long overdue donation. Thanks so much for the great site. I've been a lurker since the beginning here and was a long time lurker and rare poster on RAMPS. We are all so very fortunate that you have taken the reigns and made this site way better than RAMPS could ever have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Wexler Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am removing your SD 664 post since it was put in the wrong place and I'm not able to move it. If you feel the need to post anything more regarding your specific trouble with any piece of equipment, please start a topic in the EQUIPMENT section. Better yet, contact your dealer or the manufacturer's support for help with your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P. I will check on the link to PayPal. You could use the WePay link if you want (which appears in the sidebar on the main page). Either way, I will PM you to let you know what's up with PayPal.

Jeff Wexler Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 The link at the bottom of the page: Donate to Support JWSOUNDGROUP should take you to a web page where you have the choice to use the PayPal Donate button or the WePay donate button. I just tried the PayPal button and it did take me to the PayPal page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Tarrant Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Jeff, Just sent you a $40.00 donation. I've only been a member for a couple of weeks now but I already feel that the information I have gained from your site already fare exceeds the paltry sum I've sent. Thanks so much for such a wonderful " meeting place " where we can all blab and share our experiences. I only wish I'd found jwsound sooner and don't really know how I could have missed it. Hoping to see 42 tonight...but there is a big snow storm blowin' in so may have to wait until later in the week. The train top clip you posted the other day really blew my mind...fantastic work...very natural....another beautiful recording by one of the masters. I also love that Harp in the tunnel...eerie to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Hewett Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I tried to donate and got an error message when I clicked on the link... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I tried to donate and got an error message when I clicked on the link... Do you know which link you clicked? The green Donate button in the sidebar should work just fine. Once I know which link you might have clicked I will follow through and make sure they're all working. Things do get broken (but I can usually fix them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Donated a couple weeks ago, didn't bother to mention it here, but after reading Jay Roses comments, I decided to add my verbal in addition to my financial support.

TC Sound Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I suppose I'll make my donation retroactive. Hell, why not pay some forward too! Thanks for keeping such a great resource up, happy to contribute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean ONeil Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hello Jeff, It has literally taken me years to realize how informative, powerful, and useful this forum has been for me and my love of sound recording. It has also literally taken me years to get off my ass and donate to this wonderful world which you have created. Sorry it took me so long, and I'm making it a point to donate on a regular basis. Thank you again for dreaming this up. Cheers, Sean O'Neil Brooklyn NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
