Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 12 Dec 12 - 03:16 PM I'll be donating once again. Meanwhile, I wonder if money would be saved in the long run if ugly non-music threads where people are insulting one another could be cut off with "Sorry, we don't have the electricity for this." Could the links to the amazon pages where Mudcat gets a cut be added to QuickLinks? |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: GUEST Date: 10 Dec 12 - 02:11 PM So, Max, how about a progress report? Has enough been raised to keep Mudcat going for awhile, and if so, an estimate on how long that might be? Obviously this fundraising is going to have to take place from time to time, but it would be heartening to hear a time frame for how long it can keep going on what is raised, realizing of course that unexpected and expensive things do sometimes happen!

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: Gurney Date: 10 Dec 12 - 01:56 PM I'd like to make a contribution, but I'm a bit skint. What I do have is a couple of books. A copy of 'Real Sailor Songs' by John Ashton, and a signed copy of 'Shanties from the Seven Seas' by Stan Hugill. I'm not sure if it is worth anyone's while buying them, as the freight is likely to be impressive, they are fairly heavy and I live in New Zealand. Does anyone want to comment? |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: gnu Date: 10 Dec 12 - 01:55 PM Some might disagree with the title of the diet Beer. As some might have reecognized the logo on the tee in that pic as the Budweiser logo. But, the Bud Diet worked... 110 pounds. Doesn't work for everyone, tho... some drink the beer and then don't give a hoot if they are fat. >;-) |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: Charmion Date: 10 Dec 12 - 10:59 AM gnu, I for one would pay money to witness a first-class arse-kicking by the esteemed Professor Spaw. Edmund has dibbed in for us. Our lives would be much duller without the Cat. Go Max! |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: Mr Red Date: 10 Dec 12 - 10:43 AM Max I buy from Amazon.co.uk there are two conflicting decisions 1) Is Amazon.co.uk included in the deal? 2) they are stingy on the old corporation tax here in the UK. Tough decision when choosing a vendor, need data. FWIW most things sold on Amazon.co.uk can be found cheapest via amazon direct. Tells the story very succinctly. |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: BK Lick Date: 09 Dec 12 - 08:46 PM Just donated an additional $55 via PayPal in payment of my winning bid in Debra Cowan's auction. I reckon this is the 174th message in this thread, of which about 130 have included a contribution. Good goin' everbody! —BK |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: mg Date: 08 Dec 12 - 03:17 PM I will put up one tugboat cd and two potato famine cds for the auction, although i am not sure how it works. |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 08 Dec 12 - 05:52 AM OK folks. Donate ...or I'll sing! RtS |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: ChanteyLass Date: 07 Dec 12 - 08:57 PM Thank you all who have put up items for the auction. Marc, will we see you at Mystic's Chantey Blast? I've started a thread about it here on Mudcat. |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: Tattie Bogle Date: 07 Dec 12 - 05:40 PM OK, dunnit by credit card following the GBP button: although a Paypal screen comes up in parallel, I don't think it means that you're paying via Paypal. I used to have a Paypal account but then got a lot of scammy emails about "updating your account" so lost faith in it: I couldn't be sure if I was getting genuine emails or spoof/phishing ones! I was first introduced to Mudcat by the guy who was recording my son and his band: I said something about wanting to get the lyrics of a song I liked, and the guy said "Try Mudcat" - sure enough I got them! So this must be about 12-13 years ago: thanks Mudcat! |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: gnu Date: 07 Dec 12 - 05:17 PM Okay, okay. Let's slow down on the donations, eh? I mean, if people just keep sending in money willy-nilly, Spaw won't need to come in here like he did on other passed fund raisers and kick some ass. Trust me, it's fun. He has a unique way of kicking ass. Hmmm... an auction? Highest bidder gets Spaw to deliver a serious ass kickin in the winning bidder's name to all the deadbeats who "use" this sight and can afford to donate a donut or two but don't ? Yeahhhh... I agree... dumb idea. Spaw will do it anyway if he feels the need. Soooo, donate outright and bid in the auction as per your ability and as per your appreciation of the BEST, bar none, site on the internet. The musical community is top notch and the freedom of speech Max is dedicated to preserving, both above and below the line, at many costs to him over these years of his service to all of us, in the way he does, is unequalled as far I know. |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: Marc Bernier Date: 06 Dec 12 - 02:04 PM Just saw this. I got no job, no money, and gigs a few and far between lately. But I just put 2 of my Cds up for auction. All the money will come here should anyone want to buy them. |
|
Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: John Routledge Date: 06 Dec 12 - 12:19 PM Paying four cheques totalling £100 sterling into Friends of The Mudcat bank account which will be transfered to Max. Others have paid direct to FoTM account or via Paypal. Thanks all. And Max. |
|
Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: leeneia Date: 06 Dec 12 - 12:00 PM So, Max, how are we doing? I'm willing to donate. I have donated before and can do again. On the other hand, hungry kids, the local women's shelter and Africans fighting malaria need my money too. You understand what I'm saying? |

Subject: RE: mudcat.org cannot afford to continue... From: GUEST,Kookie-less - Kampervan Date: 06 Dec 12 - 11:55 AM Paypal worked its magic.A little bit more is on its way. Wouldn't like to see Mudcat die. |
