I'll start this out like this:
I learned some unbeilvable facts at Niagara this weekend, hope you don't mind Ken:::
BP had 89,000,000 yes 89 million hits last year
Largest amount of hits in one day 775,000 on October 5th
All of BP's equipment is now located in his basement, because BP has grown so much. The equipment generates enough heat to heat his basement. So how much electricity does that take,
I know Ken charges a fee for auctions, a bit for advertising, The Gpc does help him out also, BUT, I really believe it isn't enough.

So I challenge every grower out there to make a voluntary membership fee of $10.00, If you can't then by all means don't, but if you can, please do.

Ken I ask you to post your Paypal address so we can use it, also your mailing address, for all the members.

I know you don't thing this needs to be done, But my question to everyone is!!!!!!
What would you do without BP and where would we be in the Giant Pumpkin world without you??????

Yeah I'm In. I was in the meeting when Ken first told us of the hit news. I have to tell you I was entirely blown completely away. The numbers suggest that the site traffic is growing 125% per year or there abouts. Unbelievable!!!

You guys and gals are great. How about this instead:

I have plans to offer a "premium" membership for BP. Associated with that paid annual membership will be some special content and abilities (which I am still defining). I can put up a page to sign-up for this membership before it is ready at an introductory price. So your payment will be an actual membership fee.

If people like this I will get the page ready ASAP.
