    You have to be patient. I donated a long time ago. :)


    And no, this is not an undercover "give me contributing member status" post. :)


    I think I have the Swoly-D smiley sickness as of late.

    You know what I think Clutch does when he reads these little reminders about contributing member status or member status?

    Shrugs his shoulder and goes about onto more important stuff.

    Not saying he's blowing you guys off, but he just has more important stuff to deal with.

    Notable exceptions are longtime members who have been in good standing and/or has built a rapport with Clutch.

    The rest of you are just strangers behind a keyboard.

    To be fair, we're all just strangers behind a keyboard.

    Except DD, he is, unfortunately, a very real character.

    Even though that's probabley true it's no way to handle a business, without donations this site is no where...It may not be a business but he's managing a site and money so it's close enough..

    No. Is he offering a service to people? No, no he's not. Is he getting a steady profit income? No. Donations don't count.

    All in all, it's called being patient, you should try it sometime. Heck, by starting this thread you might have just sealed yourself in the "NOT CONTRIBUTING MEMBER" list.

    You make a good point why I want to be a contributing member, I want to be able to edit my post so I don't have to double post like you...

    Alright. I don't see how that is relevant to my argument, but whatever makes your day bud.

    Member status and contributing member status are not guaranteed even if you plop down money, Clutch tends to be selective on these and has every right to do so.

    Just ask for a refund if you think things are moving too slow for your taste, although IMO donations shouldn't be refunded, cause well, they're donations, not a purchase.

    Tip jar still hungry. You guys better throw down an extra 5 or 10 or that money will not get you CM status.

    Just be patient. It took me about 3 months, so just wait it out. At the end of the day you are here to post and read about Rockets news and stories, so just be happy with that.
