FYI. I plan on making donation expenditures available to respected members of high rank and up.I am also not ashamed to say that I will be giving TheGame a nice gift for his moderation services and Hans / Ultrabike some higher quality measuring equipment so they can measure DAC / amps (per posting and measurement standards currently being developed to avoid the "stream of consciousness" effect.)When we get past what we need to survive for 15 months, the rest will be allocated to headphones or gear of interest to be decided by the community. The gear will be measured and put on a loaner program for a certain period of time. After this, we'll find a fair way to give it away to a member of the community within the bounds of the law.I will eventually solicit advice on monetizing ads and affiliate programs so the site will pay for itself after 15 months. If I ever make Ken Rockwell money on the ads, I'll throw out a few bones and get a Camaro SS or Mustang GT350 for myself (there are many better cars, but I would like to have an American muscle car again). After the car, I will give back to the community and maybe some charitable causes.P.S.Thank you again. I am stunned at the level of support. I really had no idea. The name of the new forum will reflect how I truly feel about this special community.Also, don't feel bad if you cannot give. I understand that not everyone is in a situation where they can afford to do so. Send positive vibes instead of money. Or show understanding or generosity to the guy in the wheelchair who sneered at you for opening the door for him.
