    Exclamation CSP is seeking advertisers

    My fellow CSPers,

    I have volunteered to help CSPicon admin get the message out that CSP is in need of advertisers, which will help the Culvers. This is a quote from CSP admin "I'd also stress that ALL advertising revenue goes directly to Gloria and Dick and none of it is used to support the operation of this site. I want people to understand that Milsurps.Com has no vested interest in that advertising revenue and in fact, donates all of the hardware, software and network bandwidth costs to Dick and Gloria for free."

    So with this in mind, if you know any firearm, military surplus or collectible related business that you buy from on a regular basis or know someone who has their own business suitable for this site (no jerky!!!) , please have them contact CSP admin: cspadmin@milsurps.com. They will get back to those folks with rates and demographic info for potential candidates.

    I plan on send in an email to Ray Vin, since they seem to be a good fit for CSP. I get nothing out of getting advertisers in here, I'm just doing what I can to help the Culvers.

    Thanks for your interest.

    -Jeff L

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Hi Folks ...

    My wife ~Angel~ and I have been getting some really disturbing emails from a very small segment of the old CSPicon community, that alludes to us personally gaining from Dick and Gloria's predicament. To be honest, if we had realized that our personal efforts to help them were going to be construed in this manner, we doubt we would have started down this road at all.

    Having said that, a clarification for everyone ....

    As Jeff mentioned, ALL of the advertising revenue in the CSP forums, which is zero at the moment, goes directly to Dick and Gloria, so I'm sure they would appreciate any help you guys can be in getting advertisers to fill those banner spots you see at the top of CSP forums.

    We're also looking for a volunteer for a financial fund raising project for Dick and Gloria. If you, or anyone you know would like to "Chair" that kind of program, please send me a PM or email with your ideas. ALL proceeds from an on-line personal donation based fund raiser would go directly to help Dick and Gloria and NONE would benefit the site in any way.

    Thanks for any help you can offer ...

    Finally, the use of your CSP forums is absolutely FREE and the ONLY program that helps this site at all, are folks who have graciously chosen to voluntarily donate a nominal amount of money, to help defray several thousand dollars in annual system bandwidth, server, disk storage and maintenance costs. We refer to this special group as Contributing Members (click here). Even though our personal contribution from my wife ~Angel~ and myself to help Dick and Gloria, increases our site operational costs by about 50%, any additional financial support helps mitigate some of that burden and we sincerely appreciate it. So, indirectly that program helps them too. We are NOT a paid site and would operate and do this for Dick and Gloria, even without the assistance of "Contributing Members".

    If anyone would like to speak to us about our site, our personal love of this hobby (~Angel~ is a HUGE Enfield collector), or our motives, then we'd appreciate people having the respect and courage to send us an email with personal contact information, and not be posting gossip anonymously behind an Internet pseudonym here and in other forums. We'd be happy to telephone anyone at our expense and speak to them face-to-face, about who we are and the current state of Dick and Gloria's situation, which obviously would be inappropriate to be publishing publicly all over the Internet.

    Thanks for listening everyone ....

    Regards,
    Badger (Doug)
    ~Angel~ (Deborah)

    Well, let's see now. Those individuals who lived on CSPicon (hint, Sukey, Larrymarine, Keenan) need to pony up in proportion to their posting frequency relative to the total numer of posts.

    Without their posts, we'd have nothing to read

    Posts are the essence of the Forum; without them, where would we go, who's stuff would we read?

    I just became a contributing member of Milsurps as a way of saying THANKS for hosting CSPicon. I would GLADLY make a contribution to Dick and Gloria if someone sets it up. I have nothing to advertise, except my good looks.

    Thank you... much appreciated and ~Angel~ says, "what a handsome devil you are at that ..."

    I'm still trying to find someone who will run a personal donation event and program, taking in the money and sending it directly to Gloria and the Major.

    ~Angel~ and I would do it, but I really don't want to expose us to any more accusatory emails that we're ripping off the CSP community.

    I have a Plan B, but let's see what happens with the advertising any "Chair" request first...

    Thanks again Bill.....

    Regards,
    Badger

    Badger I'm at a loss.

    In my experience the posters on the Gun Talk forum have been gentlemen and would never send a threatening post. I have heard that this was not the case on some of the other forums. I do miss some of the regulars from the other site (hope they will show up soon). Lastly I want to thank you for helping the Culvers when needed.
