Auction and proceeds for site -to clearify some things

[gbblr-killer]

Great post Jeff.

Everyone that sent calls in had no issues. It was the ones on the "other sites" that had the issues and frankly, it was none of there concern. And a couple of you wonder why I screw with some people like I do (and probably will again)...........It is just a shame that some people have such a miserable life that they have to cause trouble for others. Thanks again Jeff.

Is that why you mess with me all the time   

Jeff thanks for posting this and it is very unfortunate that you had to do this in the first place.  Gotta love those rumors.  According to some, Me, Morgan and Richard are having a love affair...  so i asked my wife if her name was MO or Richard... she looked at me funny...  I'm guessing it is not.  So guess MO and Richard you are out of luck. ... I'm taken!!!   


 

i have faith in youall, i won and bought a caller........

Jeff & others - Well said and that should put this topic to bed!

I agree with Kyle   .... I've heard the rumors and I have read what the trolls spread.   The old saying is.... "if they ain't talking about you.... Your not doing something right" applies here... The Roost has done something that (as far as I know) no other forum has been able to do. The Member's gave there time and donated freely, without conditions there fine products to the Roost.......  and people bought !!! Close to $2,300.00 raised!   Porter never asked for it, but we had his blessing to try it. Porter has given us all a   place to hang out and talk Turkey and I thank him for what he has gone though personally to provide us this site. We all should be Proud of what we have accomplished as member's to give our favorite forum the needed funds for the future. It's no longer one man's responsibility to finance this site. I know without a doubt the money raised is in the right hands and will be used properly and accounted for to the penny for the sole purpose for the betterment of Osage Roost, nothing more and nothing less.

                          Peace

I have seen one common theme in these posts---there will always be cautious folks (rightfull so) with this event, also have noticed that I have not seen a single donator to the event that wouldnt turn right around next month and do it again.
Time will show what this concept is all about and resolve all concerns, how it is handled, and the accountability it has to have.
Brent said something key here---"It's no longer one man's responsibility to finance this site"-----this was the sole reason for creating this event.
Porter---thanks for all you have sacrificed and done for us in the past.......now its our turn as members to move this site into the future.

I am still utterly confused why anyone would care? We're talking about roughly $2500 dollars. Why would someone get upset over that? What is the need to be specific about how the funds will improve the Roost?

I'm just confused about the whole thing I guess. I have gotten a few messages filled with accusations and read the stuff on here. My reaction to everyone of them was, who cares?

To me, it seems that some have an axe to grind personally and have used this situation as their platform. Just my unwanted opinion on the matter.
