I agree with Kris.
One of the things that got me off my arse to join was actually being able to have interactions with other board members as an unregistered guest. Sort of a try before you buy scenario.
Had I not had that opportunity, I'm not sure I would have joined based solely on content of the site and the other posts. This site is more than a repository of knowledge, it is a community. And as a community, there should be an easy method of entry that is interactive (the way it is now).
As for hoax posts - Caveat Emptor. Any post should be treated as any other "new" evidence - whether it's a letter, a diary or a photo - with a great deal of scrutiny and scepticism.
But then, I have joined since the hoaxes...

Peter,
I never meant to imply that donating money was simple for anyone. All I meant was that it's simple to register. It only costs the price of a postage stamp. As far as the donation, hey, if you can't donate. don't. That is "no big deal". It's just that it costs stephen money to run this website.

So tell me more about this new icon contributor and what it means. what does the money go to doing, is it only money? When I say that it is that I have looked at the link and do not understand it.

Uh..it's fairly straight forward. People who have the icon have either contributed money or time to the website. Money is paper or coined currency that has recognized value being issued by a nation, time is contributions to content on the website such as the late Viper who organized the Press Project, typing up relevant newspaper articles from the time and Chris Scott who is currently doing the same. The time contribution adds to the value of the Casebook by increasing the amount of information available here and the money contribution helps defray the cost of running a website. |

Whatho Ally,
Thanks for the slightly sarcastic reply to Jennifer. Perhaps you would now like to tell us how to get the money to Stephen. What's the postal address, what amount you would suggest and in which currency (that is: would he accept a Stirling cheque)? That's if it's not too much bother for you of course.
Cheers, Mark (actually I love the sarcasm Ally) |

My job is the sarcasm, money matters are entirely Stephen's.
I know there is a PO Box number for sending cash but for whatever reason, it's not actually listed on the Casebook under funding and donations. It is the same PO Box Number that registration letters go to.
I would never suggest a money amount because I don't know what each person's individual abilities are. If you can only afford a buck and want to send it, it's appreciated. If you can afford a million bucks, my phone number is...
Just kidding.
Anyhoo. If Stephen can't be arsed to put up the PO Box number in the funding and donations portion of the Casebook, I say why waste your time sending him anything. Under About the Casebook: Funding and Donations there is the option of Pay Pal for anyone who uses that.

I used paypal to make my donation to the Casebook. It was very quick and easy to do. I would definitely reccommend this to anyone wishing to make a donation to this site. I would post Stephen's paypal address here but I will leave that to him, if he so wishes.

Do you have to be a certain age to register? |

Hi Meganb,
I should have imagined, it was beyond the parent guardian stage, we discuss some rather gruesome points on this site.
