    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Re: Debate #2 Open Thread

    See, I think the dollar one time donation idea is a great idea.

    Gets everyone to see what the No-TOS zone is about and if they should continue to donate. Then if they don't like it, they're only out a buck and not 2.50.

    You see, I'm a stingy bastard, I want to know what Donorship entails before becomming one. I've asked in the past for some kind of donation for me to become a member, either privately or by the site in general. It's really as simple as if I like what being a donor gets me, I'll become a donor.

    Brilliant Idea in my mind.

    I didn't realize that you found bald Dolphin fans attractive.

    If that is his main area of expertise, then he would know all kinds of cost cutting solutions on things that weren't all that pertinent which then would free up revenue to do things that would help the Zone along further.

    That would make sense to me and be a great idea for advancing in the times as a whole here on this board.

    Sure the insane would still run the asylum with just that being the change but the asylum would be a whole lot nicer.

    I completely understand and agree... I just wasn't sure if you were aware that a list existed.

    I don't see the connection between a large construction company and a fan run message board and how working for one makes you qualified to work for the other.

    Honestly, it's not really the perks you should always look at. If that is the case, I think you would be dissapointed in that one dollar purchase.

    Exactly!

    It is like a PBS pledge drive. Nobody is donating $100 for the canvas totebag, they are donating the $100 because they love watching Masterpiece Theater or Antiques Roadshow.

    Right, except the people that watch those shows should be shot... Not so with the zoners!

    you have a problem with education and culture? While I don't watch PBS as much as I probably should, there are some good programs.

    Re: Debate #2 Open Thread

    Just a couple of comments from a 'regular' member for the candidates to consider...

    1) I have donated minimally in the past because A) I don't believe in private forums for a public message board...It creates a 'clique-ish' atmosphere B) When I have donated, the No-TOS isn't worth it anyway and in all honesty neither are many of the other benefits.

    2) I think all of the candidates somewhat missed the boat on making donating more attractive to the average user. One of the attractions of participating on a message board are the bells and whistles, the 'toys', that members get to 'play' with regarding their on-line persona, especially avatars, etc. The store discounts should be increased dramatically with membership, starting at 50% instead of 10%. Being able to change your avatar at a more reasonable zonebux $ amount is a bigger draw than a private forum, IMO, and it would eliminate the necessity to require a bunch of fairies running around doing favors for those 'in need'. Help the members be able to help themselves.

    3) A donate button/link to the donor page with all the benefits listed should appear on every page, in the most visible location possible, not just select pages.
