Since my “Why more people Don’t pledge thread was closed”. I just wanted to let whoever responded know it wasn’t at all a matter of judgement. Just a discussion built from curiousity and to avoid any issue or hard feelings. Whoever responded to my thread and wasn’t a pledge member I went ahead and pledged on your behalf. So if I offended anyone I apologize Cheers to you all

THC · 25 March 2019, 02:06 AM

Very nice

FTX I · 25 March 2019, 02:08 AM

Nice gesture Mohammad. Congratulations.

Snow-Dweller · 25 March 2019, 02:18 AM

Very nice.

Al1969 · 25 March 2019, 02:20 AM

Very nice of you.

SpeakWithMichael · 25 March 2019, 02:21 AM

Well shoot, I was gonna say it's because I haven't got my luxury watch yet and I haven't used the For Sale forums at all. I do enjoy the forums and the knowledge and discussions, and plan on doing it (pledging) soon enough. But for now, everything saved is Rolex money. Very generous on your part, nonetheless.

OysterBracelet · 25 March 2019, 02:25 AM

I can't afford to pledge and found your original thread offensive.

Matador · 25 March 2019, 02:56 AM

Nice, straight up talk.
Didn't find anything offensive about your thread even though I'm not a pledged member yet.

andyxxx · 25 March 2019, 05:12 AM

Hey – I don’t know why your thread was closed, everyone seemed courteous to me and I certainly didn’t see anything offensive in your post.

And - despite what I wrote - thank you for pledging for me!

walds11 · 25 March 2019, 05:32 AM

Interesting. I hope this one does not get closed.

Good on you OP

brandrea · 25 March 2019, 05:34 AM

good on you

Great gesture.

IMHO, there was nothing you said or did to offend any members.

Some people may differ in their reasons for remaining a TRF Member rather than pledging. I think many posts jumped to erroneous conclusions about the topic by assuming everyone here is financially independent.

Some are struggling students, some are intrigued by horology, and others just aren’t inclined to pay for essentially “free” contact.

A super kind gesture on your behalf. I didn’t find anything rude or offensive wig the original post either.

Rolex Essex · 25 March 2019, 08:10 AM

That’s very generous of you Mohammad.

I didn’t find anything rude or offensive about your post at all.

SemperFi · 25 March 2019, 08:14 AM

That was a heck of a gesture on your part Mohammad and a perfect example of why this forum is held in such high regard.
Good for you!

DJ TT 2002 · 25 March 2019, 08:15 AM

Nice gesture!!

214270Explorer · 25 March 2019, 09:00 AM

Mohammad you are a good person.

Moweis · 25 March 2019, 09:49 AM

Thank you everyone for such kind words. And I agree that everyone has circumstances and reasons as PaulG 77T said. Kind of the reason I started that thread was to hear things like that. The reasons as to why such as students, or people who don’t see value but I guess the Mods must’ve worried it would backfire or spiral out of control. I respect their decision and understand where they are coming from, no worries or hard feelings on my part. Glad to be a part of this Great community and give back in any way I can.

Houstongator · 25 March 2019, 10:02 AM

I was a pledge member and very pleased to be one. I want to contribute.
When I received a message from this forum that it was time to renew, I tried to. I wanted to.
I kept receiving responses “invalid this” “invalid that” “not authorized.” etc.
After a couple of days, I gave up.

Nice gesture buying pledges but certainly nothing offensive with the thread. You can’t internet and be offended. It’s a rule. I checked - fight me.

Maybelline · 25 March 2019, 10:31 AM

I’m sorry I missed your thread.

RichM · 25 March 2019, 11:07 AM

Very nice jesture Mohammad. It’s people like you, that make this forum what it is.

Star Ferry · 25 March 2019, 11:15 AM

Wow, I now feel bad about my snarky response to your prior thread. Cheers and thanks

Paul_I · 25 March 2019, 11:26 AM

To the OP - the primary reason I am not currently a pledge member is because I am nearly always using TRF on my phone and it isn't a convenient time to go through all the steps. I was a pledge member in 2018 and to me, it is an annual donation so whenever I get to it should mean the same to the forum administrators. I guess I don't feel pressured in anyway so I forget about it.

spurwar · 25 March 2019, 11:47 AM

Classy gesture OP!

CalSRQ1 · 25 March 2019, 11:49 AM

I didn’t think the original post was offensive at all. Still, hell of a gesture. You sir are a gentleman.

nick c · 25 March 2019, 12:01 PM

Inshallah. You are a good man.

Spartacus · 25 March 2019, 12:32 PM

I was a pledge member last year.

Don’t have pay pal but I should re-pledge! I will do so soon.

I could certainly find some reason to ridicule the forum, but the truth is, this is the best online community I have ever been a part of.

GB-man · 25 March 2019, 03:10 PM

Nice gesture sir. Your thread reminded me of the opening scene of reservoir dogs
