Hey roadblock, Have you thought about creating a media section for the site?
Yanno a place for all the videos and MP3's and such, maybe keep it separate from the photo gallery?
I mean, we're getting a lot of video now, and the front page is getting kinda long...
Oh and where is the anthem posted at? I was looking for it earlier, and couldn't find it.

great idea, I'm going to look into getting a youtube gallery going.... here's the problem.... I'm not a php programmer.... I can do certain things with it but other things take hiring a programmer. would it be weird if I threw a paypal donate button up there? I have a few things I want to do. If there is an expert level php prorammer out there or a way to raise the funds I'm all for it. I want the site to be commercial free... but at times it could use some sprucing up..... what you think?

If all the regulars would be willing to kick down $20 or so - you would have your cash...
I"m happy to throw in...

well, first off the donations would have to be all voluntary... hmm it would be interesting if I could set up a sort of donate / bid function where it would give the scope of the project and people could donate funds towards completing it. as the funds rise it also becomes a "bid" on the project itself. a qualified php / programmer could wait until the funds are enough to satisfy him/her for doing the job..... and once the donations reach a satisfactory amount the bidding programmer could take the job and make it happen....

Ok... all set up....
this project's budget wil be dedicated to creating a media gallery.... a way for a youtube gallery to exist on our site. with custom comment field and thumbs. anyone out there want to bid on this project? I'm guessing it will take a day or two to create it including the submission page. so something like $500? more?
anyone out there want to donate then click this button and throw down a few bucks... I hate to come off begging for money but sometimes it takes some fund raising to make improvements that require outside help...

I wish I knew php. I'd hook it up for free.

yeah, I kind of set out to learn it myself.... I was tweaking the code on this site a lot but my style of programming can best be described as one of those pee wee herman contraptions where an egg rolls down a plank and knock a bowling ball into a pin that sets off the toaster which bounces bread into a scale and.... uh.... crashes the server......

you know what.... fuck it. I took the button down. It doesnt feel right. I returned your money Fuzz thanks anyway it was a good gesture. Let me think about the right way to do this. I don't like asking for money. I'm gonna see if I can lump this into another job for someone here at work....

Possible ways to Raise $$:
Auction off Custom Spoke Cards!
Have a $5 Bike wash with topless guys wearing helmets
$5 to spray paint on my car...no make it $3
And if there is a programmer that will do it for trade, i can make an ILL green bean casserole.
Hope that helps in some way shape or form.
:D

for some reason, after i upgraded to the new firefox, youtube and other embedded videos crash my browser. i tried reinstalling an older version of firefox, but that doesnt work either.
