How about a hobbyist sponsor spot?

No higher ups were involved in this (or even asked for their thoughts on it ;) )

So y'all don't lose sleep over this. I used to get paid for my marketing expertise/ideas and you guys got it totally for free!

Since it appears that MAAST is looking to increase their revenue, why not also add a fee to those who sell in the "For Sale" forum...whether it is a one time sale, or multiple. Just like Ebay, you pay a percentage whether the sale is a completed transaction or incomplete. I am sure with the open "For Sale" forum, as it stands....no rules/limitations, MAAST could potentially make hundreds a week.
I thought we (MAAST) was once targeting NON PROFIT, but as it seems, as an outsider looking in, it is nothing but making a profit. I see no "Frivolous" spending on events or gatherings; giving back to the MAAST Members.

Cheri - I don't see how you can come up with your first statement when Karin clearly states she came up with this idea completely on her own. You post has a passive-aggressive tone to which Karin was only offering a suggestion on this "Questions, Comment & Suggestions" Feedback Forum. She has also previously stated that she does not want to get involved in the drama on this site.

Karin - I applaud your enthusiasm for this hobby and this web site. Keep 'em coming...

I assure you my tone was not passive-aggressive as you state, Ross, I was merely adding a suggestion, just as Karin had previously done. I applaud those who are engaged in MAAST and want to continue to see the growth and success of the organization. It is Members like Karin, who truly want to make a difference in this club.
