so is it costing you money out of your pocket to host this site or whatever?  are you looking to be compensated for that or are you just arguing for the sake of it?  whats your angle brah?

i don\'t charge for my time. actually, i don\'t charge for anything.

the site and everything on it is completely free for anyone to use. there is no fee involved for anyone to use any part of the site. no one has ever been forced to pay anything. donations are completely optional.

i don\'t know what your intentions are here, mike.. if you had all these questions, i don\'t know why you wouldn\'t just IM me and ask me. i\'m not sure what brought this all on, but i\'ve thanked you for what YOU do countless times in public and in private, as well as offering you money. i don\'t know what you want me to do.

i can tell you that this will be my last post on the subject, because the more i look at and think about this thread, the more sick to my stomach i get. it hurts like **** to come on here and see my intentions with this site in question, not to mention that you\'re about the last person i\'d expect to see such a thing from, mike. talk about taking the wind out of someone\'s sails...

i provided you with some details above, so if you still feel the need to audit me, then you do what you have to do. but the day i come on here and make an itemized list of every dime i\'ve ever spent on this site because someone doesn\'t believe me, is the day i say goodbye to thebreakfast.info.

i\'ve said all i have to say on the topic. i will not be responding to this thread again.

...and to the people i addressed in the first post of this thread, allow me to add an apology to my \'thanks\'.

My intentions were never to hurt. I honestly should have asked u in a PM and you are correct about that. I have had reservations about the issue for a while and should have been bigger about it.

I think its safe to say nobody posting here is going hungry due to their donations. I mean, personally this site is worth a lot more to me than the measley 25 bux I\'ve donated, and I took a while to get around to even pitching in at all.

I wouldn\'t care one way or the other if Dave happens to make a dollar or two off the donations, he\'s obviously not in it for the money. This forum definitely enhances my overall Breakfast-experience, gettin shows, keeping in touch with people, shooting the ****, having somewhere to waste my time on the internet, I\'d be a grumpy w00k without it!

And thanks for hosting Mike, it\'s a good thing the community has people with the resources and willingness to hook-it-up for the greater good.

I was planning on making another wimpy donation but I\'m kinda strapped on cash this week and wanna make sure I have enough money to buy expensive drinks in Northampton tomorrow... treat yourself to some nice bling with this next one Dave ;)



heheheh. seriously though, thank you both

In addition to the upgrades/maintenance/improvements over the years, I\'m pretty certain Dave dropped some bucks to get the site up-and-running a few years back.

Seriously, all the laughter, socializing, discussions, and wealth of music (and other) trivia I\'ve learned over the years on here is priceless.  

Dave, thanks for everything!

dave, don\'t sweat it.  i get hated on religiously on pt moe., but that don\'t bother me none.  anyone who knows ya knows you are a stand up and all around great guy and the last thing on your mind is profitting off us.  **** the hours you spend putting shows up on archive as soon as possible is enough to justify you doing whatever the hell you please with whatever donations you get in my opinion.  at least you\'re not begging for donations to get your album finished on a completely different band\'s message board.

HAHA! And the sandwich heavy portfolio wins out in the end!

You didn\'t even refrigerate it!


BWALLLLL!!! I\'m Ruined!!!!




On the other side, I thank everyone involved for giving me something to read when I\'m bored at work. I\'ve helped dave with some of the grunt work on the site in the past, and there is alot he is doing that you don\'t see. I didn\'t realise that the hosting was free, but if that\'s the case then Kindm\'s deserves just as much thanks because that is a ton of $$ over time he is saving dave. :thumbsup:

I may also add that Dave is someone I have always identified as going out of his way to do nice things for others.  How about those kick ass parties he has thrown?

Before the Archive, my live Breakfast cd collection began with Dave Peck.  One night I showed up to a show (around 2001) and Dave hands me a collection of 20+ cds, without me even asking for them.

$1,291.25 is the total amount of $ thats listed as being donated to .info on the donations page.

vbulletin costs $160.00
$30.00 for renewals after the 1st year

domain registrations cost no more than $40/2 years even less depending on where you register them

so that leaves roughly $800 or more that isn\'t accounted for

Not to mention the small amounts of $ that the powerball donations have made.

This site also has way too many advertisements on it and I am sure that those clicks also generate $.

So I will ask again what is the $ being spent on ?

I am the #1 donor and I have never even seen the band live
« Reply #42 on: »
Why is that?? Wellllll, the reason I haven\'t seen the band live is that they haven\'t been to DC where I live (in the MD suburbs to be more precise). They have played opening acts in Baltimore but unfortunately, I have been out of town when they came. And when they did the Camp Out in Virginia this July \'06, I was at FloydFest.

Now, as to why I am the #1 donor I can say that it is to thank the band and their entourage, especially Dave Peck for putting so many of their shows on the Live Music Archive where I first discovered the band during while mining the site for great music. I have downloaded well over 100 shows so my current donation level of $142 seems like a small price to pay considering the generosity of all those involved.

I don\'t really care what the money is used for really. If you want to buy a half-ounce of kind bud, you go ahead. But I could probably guess it wouldn\'t last long with all of the freeloading stoners that hang out with the band. So... the least you could do is to pass that bowl around a little more often.
