[QUOTE="Thump, post: 386304, member: 1034"] Well you don't have to be a Support Team member to get that kind of treatment, the near 17,000 members we have here are your pals and are there for you when you need it most regardless of your membership status. Becoming a Sponsoring member is a way of helping Okie out with the cost to keep this place running. Believe it or not he looses money on DRN every month and pays for it out of his own pocket. DRN is not his "day job" though he spends most of his day working on it to make it better for us. If you don't know my story about the members coming through for me here is the short version: Came home one day to a note saying wife filed for divorce and moved to CA with boyfriend. Her parents are very wealthy and did not care about legal fees so I was given the option of spending the next 2 years in court, spending about 6K a month on an attorney to fight them or pay her 30K and assume 100% of the 66K debt (most of which was her credit cards) That totals 96K I was in the hole. So I took out a home equity loan in order to keep the roof over my head and estate saled everything I have ever worked for, furniture, appliances, house hold crap (dishes, silverware, cooking stuff), home theater... everything. I kept my bike and my BBQ grill the rest was gone. The divorce was getting REAL ugly and at the very lowest point of my life I get locked out of DRN.... I am thinking I am an Admin damnit that can't happen.... then Okie calls me and says "go look in the general forum" The support team members/moderators raised money to get me some tools, furniture, some much needed $$, gift card to PetCo (got 5 BIG dogs and could not afford food for them to be honest, but could not give them up... they were all I had left to come home to) a ticket to the LasVegas SX with airfare AND hotel room at the Aladin! I am sure I am forgetting something too... Then Patman shows up at my house in Dallas, he lives outside of Austin, with a NICE couch for me to plant my rump on. After that I took my house off the market and began to believe things would get better and they have. I have put in a lot of hours on the site because I enjoy it, never taken any money for it and would'nt. Then I was rewarded with something that money can't buy, the pride I have for being a part of this site and thousands of people that put meaning to the phrase "I got your back". I am still pretty speachless thinking about it. Well that is the short version of my story. Thanks again to all of you for making this place great. [/QUOTE]
