You both should be ashamed of yourselves. You need to repent and post three wholesome replies on the forum tonight as penance for your rebellious behavior around here.

If that's the penance then I'm way ahead of you. I only need one more post to fullfill my community service. I already posted a welcome to the newbie, ROR92 & I already posted a wholesome Journey related comment in the thread about laying all your cards on the table.

I've been thinking lately about how much time Andrew devotes each day to these forums, and how he hardly even posts here very much. So I sent him my annual donation today, and I'm encouraging you to do the same. C'mon... $5 is nothing these days - you can't even buy a beer at a concert with it anymore. Things have been tight for a lot of people lately due to the worldwide recession, so instead of asking you to give $10 or more, I figured if we could get enough forum members to donate $5 it would show Andrew that we appreciate his efforts in allowing us to have this little corner of the Internet to share our passion for Melodic Rock music with each other.

If you want to join in this effort, go to the homepage of Andrew's website at www.MelodicRock.com and scroll down to the "donate" button on the left side of the page and click it. It will take you to a PayPal page where you can donate the $5. If you can afford more than $5, then by all means be as generous as you can be. But if you can't afford $5, don't feel bad. No one is putting any obligation on anyone... it's just a suggestion. Also, feel free to post something here for Andrew to let him know how much you appreciate the forums and all the great writing he does on MelodicRock.com.

Thanks Andrew for all your efforts. They are very much appreciated!!!

For fucks sake, I like this site as much as the next man, but it's not exactly coal mining is it? How much effort is it exactly?

Yeah, banned to an eternity without the presence of the Bat and the MR forums. How would you like that?

Who to hell are you kidding you are one of the ring leaders!

I was just an innocent bystander, but then I got corrupted by these two heathens.

I saw the whole thing, and I intend to rat you all out in order to curry favor with the Wombat.

I'd like to know. Playing devils advocate for a second.

Home page - cut and past a few press releases, but not at weekends and maybe at least one day off in the week.
Reviews - 1 a week
Interviews - 1 every 6 months
Melodic rock extra - sporadic updates - if in doubt doubt update a Hooters live show.
Forums - dip in and out. 10 posts a week max.

Seriously, I love this place and I pay my way, but seriously guys how many of would swap places with Andrew if you thought you could make a living out of it? Do you think this is harder than baggage handling, working on a production line, construction etc. I'm not belittling what Andrew does but c'mon...

I'm not having a go at Andrew. I'm having a go at Voyager. I don't need a rallying call.

Looks like a web server authentication. Andrew will probably have to generate a username and password for you before you can log in

I'm not having a go at Andrew.

UPDATE - DUNCAN HAS MADE A GENEROUS DONATION, SO I'M EDITING THIS TO NOT RAG OUT ON HIM FOR HIS COMMENT. I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT, BUT WANTED TO SHOW FOLKS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES AND ONLY 10% CAN BE SEEN ON THE SITE UPDATES.


Just a little post about what work does go into the site each and every day -
5 days a week full time, then nights and some weekend time also. I'm required to deal with the site 24/7 - there are no breaks.

100 e-mails a day / Angelmilk bullshit to still work out / business with sponsors and chasing fresh income constantly / PMs & board issues / management and labels and artists to deal with on a daily basis / CD Showcases added almost every week / more CDs to listen to that demand reviews than I can keep up with (reviews and general sub-page updates have been behind this year for reasons I won't ever talk about publicly) / and as for the newsdesk - I spend much more time correcting and writing press releases than I do cut and pasting them.

There is a reason I am one of only a few full time websites that are owner operated. It's TOUGH. I love it and I'd be lost without it....

Just for the record - I am just ONE person that adds everything to the site.....that includes:

Calling musicians, calling labels, soliciting bands, band members, labels, etc for news.

Studying CD's to give in-depth reviews.

Ripping tracks from CD's and cutting them to 1 min soundbytes for all the cd's in the feature albums and mini bytes.

1000's of emails a month to read all of for news, updates, press releases, etc....not to mention CORRECTING these press releases for mistakes.

Trying to solicit artists and labels for material for MR-X.

Trying to secure record deals for other artists.

Chasing sponsors that haven't paid up on time.....each and EVERY month.

MRCD5 - hours upon HOURS of work to organize, settle, manufacturer and SHIP!

Sites maintenence.....errors, SQL issues, HTML issues, bandwidth issues.....



To everyone - thanks for the support and the few donations that arrived over the weekend. Much appreciated. Now back to addressing 400 CDs for shipping and organizing today's news update

It has been a tough year and I have taken some time out to deal with personal issues a lot. It will get back to the best soon...and with new interviews too.

Is that why you were always late for supper?

Many of the new people here don't even know where the donate button is. I can lead them to it, but I can't make them click. Andrew never asks for any donations, so I don't mind if someone reminds us every once in a while to show him that we appreciate the forum.

[kathyhelms]

Done, thanks for the reminder.

[Andrew]

Thanks Kathy and thanks all....really appreciated.
