Updating main website page
Updating main website page
Q for the admins:
I'm curious if there is any chance there can be some updates made to the main website page...
I've noticed that he "NEWS" features are now over two years old, and the "Recent Forum Topics" only include topics from Training (could also be from Speed, Injuries, Masters, Scenic Route, etc.). It also would be nice to eventually update the resources, fundraisers, etc.
Do we need a new webmaster or someone to do these things? I would volunteer, but I don't have the relevant skills... I understand thes things take a lot of time and that we run on volunteers. It would be nice to stay a bit more up-to-date-- at the very least for now delete these outdated thing ("news" and "fundraisers").

In relation to site upgrades...
Have some cost forecasts been done? If so, what are some of the estimates?
Personally, I think if we (the membership) knew what some of the cost forecasts were, we might be able to raise the money, through bottle drives, etc if we just knew what we were working towards.
I know RM is not-for-profit, do think it would be possible/feasible to register as a not-for-profit the "club" could have a charity number for those that might want to make donation contributions towards site upkeep could get receipts?
Also, I'm assuming that in the meantime, anyone who does want to donate towards site upkeep would send Marg an email money transfer or through paypal, correct?

We've talked about it a bunch internally and decided that to relieve the burden of additional costs for the upgrade, we're going to pay for site upgrades by taking ads from adultfriendfinder.com and porn sites. Also, instead of greek gods, our levels will now be porn star names.

lol Mike.
Kara: it shouldn't really cost anything except a time investment. The exception would be if the admin decide to buy a specific application or service... but so far everything we've used has been open source (ie, free!).

Ah...it's so great we have a resident lawyer who has the expertise to help us navigate these waters.
Besides...I've always had a secret desire to be a porn star...and now I kinda get to be one...life is good...I'm glad I found RM

I'm glad to see that porn trumps RM concerns.....
I wish that passing the proverbial hat would fix everything but 'fraid not. Back to Plan B......whatever that was.
