I am glad to see that people are thinking about Cliff and the money it takes to keep this rolling, but I think having what amounts to a brag bar under our profiles would just create dissent. |

Many things that are said result in pissing matches, but it would be interesting to see who contributes in which ways to this forum, how they act, and how they are received. There are many ways to contribute to PFF; through information, vehicle help, consoling people that post their personal issues vs telling them they deserve it, and by money.
If guys like WCapman or Will never gave a dime, I wouldn't think less of them, as they have poineered 5-speed N* conversions and extensively shared the info. But if some person that only posted in O/T and never chipped in with $$, and didn't even own a Fiero was to carry a high rating and slam people at free will I would know that he is a consumer/user and not a producer. Would it start wars or would I use it as an argument against any person? Naw. It would just reveal a little more history as to who is doing what to/for PFF.
Would it help to remind people they need to contribute to PFF? Sure. Come on conservatives out there, isn't peer presure part of the conservative protocol? I'm no where near the highest contributor of money, so it's not about that, but I do help people in TECH when I can, especially in regard to N* where I can help.
