Re: 18th Anniversary! Please help keep this site alive.

We've now had 8.3% participation of all who have logged in since July 1, 2022 (in other words, the past 14 months, or a year before this drive started). We're about halfway to our 16.66% goal! Can you help? Again, even small contributions add up and help keep us afloat. I've once again updated the O...

Re: MGS CutterHead project now for sale

Vice reached out to me (after I reached out to him) and said he'll be contacting people shortly. Sounds apologetic.

People, please keep me in the loop.

I don't consider it my job to police these situations. The standard warnings and precautions apply here as everywhere.

Re: MGS CutterHead project now for sale

If anyone has a phone number for Vice, please send it my way. It sounds like he's not getting back to people. I'm moving this thread temporarily to Caveat Emptor until he shows up in a good way. Sorry, Vice.... And more importantly, sorry to anyone who is finding that he isn't communicating lately. ...

Re: 18th Anniversary! Please help keep this site alive.

I've updated the Sponsor page. Thanks to all who have contributed so far! We've had 5.5% participation of all who have logged on in the past 12 months. Can we get that number up to..... 33 1/3%? Even small contributions add up and help keep us afloat.

I would recommend that people NOT do business with jonathancasey283@gmail.com unless we are able to get some verification. This is a suspicious user and post.

Re: Take reasonable business precautions.Be smart.(also, ESCROW)

^ Actually, this is possibly a great example of "be careful." If one does a google search on escrow dot com, you see a mixture of positive reviews and VERY negative ones. Who to believe? I'd probably do escrow through an established bank. On the other hand, a couple of other people on this site have...

The sponsor list has again been brought up-to-date. Please make sure I listed you correctly, and let me know if I got it wrong. Remember, contributions of $45 or over to this fundraiser can personalize their listing to include links, and in those cases the listing does not need to be your username. ...

Hey guys… he knows me. But I don’t teach people to cut on video or on a PDF…it’s like selling self defense tutorial and then you think you can enter the UFC.

Thank You.

I sent a holiday-themed fundraising follow-up letter to most members who have logged on or registered over the past two years. The responses have been VERY much appreciated, especially in light of the Covid I went through last month, which knocked me off course quite a bit. I'm recovered, but I wasn...
