EMTLife generates no revenue. As a public school teacher I generate not much more revenue. Want to donate... I'm nearly a non-profit organization

There was some talk of a newsletter. Some other forums charge a small yearly subscription fee ($20) for those, might help to compensate you for the work done on the site.

I AM NOT SPEAKING FOR MMIZ, THESE ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS
The idea of donations and fundraising for this site is a touchy subject. The Community Leaders have discussed this before, and here are some of the issues:
1) We don't want anyone feeling as if they must contribute $ to get the full benefits of this site.
2) We don't want to create any more groups of users with "special" privelages because they have contributed $ to the forum.
3) We want to treat ALL members of this site equally (despite what some thinkh34r and allow them to contribute to the forum where it matters - the discussions.
4) We don't want to become a site driven primarily by $. That is why you will never see any advertising on this site. MMiz and the rest of the Community Leaders feel that this is one of the best parts about this site...No Ads
5) If MMiz does want to accept donations to help fund the cause, that is his choice. I would suggest that everyone that does want to donate money please hold off for a few days while the CL's discuss this matter and try to come up with a system that is fair to everyone.

If I am browsing this site on a computer that I am not "automatically logged in" on... I won't log in unless I am going to post.
During those times, I appear as a guest.

Meeeee TOOO....especially at work. Our county keeps a pretty tight reign on what we look at on the internet, what sites we visit and such. Last thing I need is to get a call, forget to log out, and one of our Shift Officers come by and start looking at what I've been doing....or worse, another employee come by and post something under my name that might get me in trouble with yous guys.

Just to add my 2 cents... I LOVE this site. I love the community feel... and I try to be welcoming and kind to ALL members (when I'm around). I've been to several of the online EMS forums, and this is the only one that I would consider to be a community. We are a family. A dysfunctional family, of course, but we are a family.
As for topics that have already been debated. EMS is changing, and there is new research on many things. For example... QuickClot was AWESOME, then it was EVIL, and now it is another tool in the toolbox, to use in special circumstances (in SOME places). Things are always changing in this field, and if you have a question, feel free to ask it... some of us may have different ideas, compared with the last time the topic was discussed.
