    I'm sure everyone is pounding the servers today hitting refresh and hoping for the most recent news on the McGrady trade. Back in the day, many of us may recall, this kind of traffic would have brought the site to its knees.

    Let's take a moment to thank Clutch once again for this fantastic, FREE site by donating to the tip jar. This site is the best and we all know it.

    I for one bid a fond farewell to the TOF's and welcome our new TTOF and BMOF or JJOF and THOF friends.

    good idea. i have heard of people contributing to the tip jar and not getting the contributing member status. Perhaps theres a minimum donation you could recommend.

    Most of the time you have to follow it up with an email to clutch and let him know.

    Didn't even know there was a tip jar. I thought contributing member meant contributes to discussion. I will tip when I get the answer to your question.

    I donated a couple of years ago but I don't think it was enough to be considered a contributing member.

    Also, just be patient. There are thousands of members, and Clutch runs the site on the side as a hobby.

    He's already making a Herculean effort with video and news updates, so dealing with member status is pretty low on the list. He'll get to you, though.

    As far as amount, I don't know if he has a set number. I've donated a few times over the years, but things may or may not have changed in that regard since then.

    I believe any amount gets you upgraded. Might want to shoot Clutch an email.

    I thought there was already a thread like this in the correct forum.

    Don't donate to become a Contributing Member. Donate to contribute.

    I'll be happy to toss in $10 once he's gone. I've had champagne in our chiller for 2 months waiting for this.

    this forum is clearly getting much more traffic, and now is the perfect time to increase support to this site.

    great idea.

    I use this site a lot---although I rarely post.

    I will be tipping as soon as she's gone.

    Good Post.

    That seems to be a healthy chunk of the board these days, so I'm going to assume that the TMac haters will stay.

    It's not like there was a mass exodus when Quitten left.
