We have reached the yearly site fees! Thank you for your donations :)

About 2 weeks ago now I installed an application called "Chipin" specifically designed for accepting site donations.  At least 30 of you (& more in previous months) have been kind enough to chip in and donate some of your hard earned pennies and as a result we have made the $600 goal! We appreciate your generosity so much, the support has been nothing short of AMAZING!  I could say I"m totally shocked but to be honest I'm not completely suprised given the lovely, generous kind of people this movement seems to attract.

We also appreciate those of you who offer your donation in the form of forum participation, we have so many great contributors here and it really helps keep the forum on track. Prad, B, Ednshell, Ryan thank you so much for your fantastic selfless contribution to the Mod Squad and for your monetary donations :-)  Thank you especially to Michael Arnstein who regularly donates.

I have to chuckle a bit as I think back to when the forum first started in Jan 2009 with a total of 3 members, Ryan, DR and myself! Boy it has come so far as we approach 4,000 members.  Sure we could aim to have over 10,000 like some other raw forums but to us it's not about getting fatter as a community but about having a close-nit, supportive community based on integrity where people can come and find accurate information on LFRV without meaningless distractions. 

I can't thank Dr D enough for putting together his brilliant book "The 80-10-10 Diet" and for all he does for the movement. Doug you are a true inspiration.  I remember before the 811 book came out it cerainly was a challenge to advise people on the lifestyle without "The raw bible".

We have big visions for the future of 30BaD as it approaches it's 2nd birthday. We are filling the private banana club up with lots of goodies for those of you who need extra inspiration on your journey so keep an eye out there. 

We are number 70 on NING's list of sites (out of a possible million or so) plus fast approaching number 16,000 on the USA's most-viewed sites - which is BIG for the movement! So keep spreading the word whenever you can, you may just save an animal (or a relatives) life by doing so.

Thank you all for making this community the amazing, inspiring place that it is!
We are filled with gratitude X

    I would have given you all the money if I had it but sadly I'm far from being in a positon where I can hand money out. Money is nothing to me. As long as I have enough to eat and whatever. This is a great place. Thank you to the moderators, freelee, DR, the donators and everyone really.

      Thanks Liam, you don't need to donate :) I'm glad you are happy here, you are a great addition to the community!

    Can't wait to get a t-shirt to represent and spread the word even more! You should make bumper stickers too. =)
    • Frugivore Freelee > Ashley Hamilton August 22, 2010 at 5:26pm
