    Default A Call to Arms

    I just wanted to encourage as many Fretters as possible to consider contributing financially to support TheFret. I just put my credit card where my mouth is and sent in $30. Not a ton, but it adds up. I realize some guys like Pie are high schoolers and might not have cash, but there's still plenty who can help. I figured that since I visit this place several times a day, I should contribute something to the upkeep. I've moderated and run forums before so I know what a PITA it can be.

    Plus, that cruel Canadian winter is coming up so we need to make sure Robert is well-stocked with beaver pelts and Molson.

    No, Robert did not put me up to this

    Just a note, even though I changed the country to United States on the Pay Pal form, it didn't give me the option to enter my state until I tried to submit the info the first time. I'm not sure if that's a glitch with Pay Pal's form or Firefox. Either way, it worked eventually.

    Amphen: Jet City JCA22H and JCA12S cab, Carvin X-60 combo, Acoustic B20
    Effecten: "Thesis 96" Overdrive/Boost (aka DVM OD2), Hardwire DL-8 Digital Delay/Looper, DigiTech Polara Reverb, DigiTech EX-7 Expression Factory and CF-7 Chorus Factory, Danelectro CF-1 Cool Cat Fuzz

    Aye. LC thought they were overrated so I dumped my stock to avoid the resulting crash. Any good capitalist would have done the same. Besides, you are a registered charity right?

    Using the ZZound link from here, I noticed this at ZZound

    Mention priority code 2FN88G when you call

    So does this mean just keep mentioning 2FN88G and TheFret.net will get it's cut? even if just a little bit?

    I don't think so, as far as I know. The Fret only gets a commission if you click on the link here and go to Zzounds and buy online.

    If you do call them, maybe you can ask about this and let us know?
