1% only? This topic has had over 4k views(does reoccurring visits by the same person count again). This makes me a bit sad.
I would have thought that the number would have been substantially higher. You hear the phrase, "What are you doing to support the hobby?", well, here is one great reason, for hardly anything at all, and the returns are way more than 10 fold, however many fold. Why sit on the fence with something so obvious?
Everyday the traffic here on the forum is a s&&& ton, need a Big Boy or Y6 to haul it. Just think about the multitude of topics that are churning that you follow, and the ones you don't. I can't even think of a percentage of what I don't follow because I see who I follow comment on a topic, and there is a good percentage that I will check it out a few times(especially if there are others I follow commenting along). Some could probably find that annoying, but what if the information that is passing through grabs your mind and you realize it is helpful to you?
Yeah, I know it sounds like I am standing on some sort of soapbox(would break) about the benefits. Well, yeah. Like I said somewhere back when, I saw someone else comment elsewhere, and then here. Well, all it took was for me to get home and pop $12 in on my end. This is better than playing the lottery twice a week, 52 weeks a year. Lottery chances aren't good to begin with, you may get a buck here or there, and not win big. Here though, you are going to a 6 Star Restaurant, and getting a 5 course meal for basically nothing.
All I can say is keep the food coming, and when is dessert.
