How much did you donate (Read 1104 times)

I think reasonable (at least for me) is what I would be willing to pay were RA a subscription-based site.  Ask yourself what it's worth to have such an elegant, easy-to-use, AD-FREE way to keep an online running log.  Just like the discussion about charity, what one user can afford to pay vs. anyone else is going to be different, regardless of the "value" of RA (and Eric's work), which could be seen as a subjective sort of thing.

I think you should decide if the site is a positive value for you. My wife and I decided on a roughly 2x magazine subscription type rate. I doubt you could be faulted for anything you might give.

 

+1 This is a fantastic website, from someone who does a little web work.  My only worry is whether there's any backup for Eric.  Is there someone to take over if Eric gets kidnapped by aliens?

Absolutely right, many hands make light work.  When I hit the donate button and sent along $26.2 I qualified for Boston.  Might not have been the only reason, but I'm quite certain the good karma helped.

Usually when aliens kidnap people they replace him with a clone so no one get suspicious.  So my guess would be Eric's clone would take over or maybe already has.

Isn't it kinda hard to protect our beloved leader from so far behind?

 

I look at other subscription software services as a general guide. AV, anti-malware, etc. Speaking of which, I need to pony up myself. Running club dues too. Sign says, "no dues, no booze" and we can't have that.

 

I think the plan is for the benevolent folks at active.com to become the stewards of our humble running home on the web, and introduce new features and enhancements that "clean up" your log entries for you and make things much tidier.

 

I'm lucky enough to protect our beloved leader on Thursdays as part of his security detail of 10 or 15 ninjas.  Eric is generally smart enough to head for the safety of home before his security detail gets really lit up at the bar, so fear not.

$60.

 

5 bucks a month easily woth it

I'm surprised it's not a subscription service, or at least surprised by no ads.  Personally, I love RA, it's the best log I've found.  I did contribute some fundage for the cause, because I think it's worth it.
