I need some help

I am sending in my bit, i have been a shy ghost here for some time, studying the entire series, and gathering resources...and would love to give back in appreciation, and have seen in many posts how much said person does/has done... and i am very very very grateful for this wonderful site, and all here. :) I have had to sift thru the vanished shards scattered hither and yon to try to find fragments for the older games and here there is so much. I am so grateful....to hm and all of you :)

We have one person in here that works long hours 24/7 for our enjoyment. When something goes wrong or fails, he struggles and gets it done no matter what it takes. Yes his health is failing and yes he is a old fart. Well how to you say thank you...yea we can post it or what ever but I have another idea.Apple makes a very nice 32 in monitor >> http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Cinema-...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1232845781&sr=8-4 this is for his old eyes. I would also like to buy a nice processor along with a mother board. I am looking at doing this around April. Some should be getting there income taxes back around then. I know money is very tight for everybody, and I will understand if ya don't want to see this through. This is just a idea right now, but was wondering if any of you guys would be willing to start a fund for this and help me see this through. If we can pull this off when Ickie wake up and turns on his new system, he will see now that we all appreciate all his work and this will be a way of saying thank you in a special way....what do you guys think...Mike Ickie...SHUT UP AND STAY OUT OF THIS THREAD.

Alright Guys everyone take a break :icon_lol:

I'll answer this one. :running:

twosixalpha welcome to SOH its a great place.

Don't worry about donating I think we got Ickie covered just fine. If you like the site and enjoy our company make a Donation to the site. Just click the donationware arrow and expand the list from the menu bar above.

If you just want to hang out and see if you like the site that is good also.

Now a little bit about Ickie AKA Ron. Hes not an old fart no matter what Moe says :icon_lol:. He is the guy who keeps this place running. He handles the bills and repairs the server when it is down. He and CK both keep the site updated and running as smooth as one can these days with all the Hacking going on at flightsim sites. We all have a lot of respect for Ickie and the rest of the admins for that matter. That's why we had the little donation run there. Ron was suffering a world of hurt in the personal computer department recently and it was time for the members to help out the man who is always there for us even though we never see it.

Anyway great to have you around look forward to seeing you in the forums. If your a FS9 or FSX pilot go to the Around the World Race thread and join the Propliner competition.

One thing I would like to ask is try to improve on your spelling. This is a very multilingual forum with members all over the world. English is already difficult as it is and it makes it that much harder when it is non standard. You may ask a question some day and miss out on the proper answer that might have come from one of our Dutch, German, Russian, or Italian friends. Not to mention all the Spanish speaking contries and or anyone else I left out. :icon_lol:
