Hello OS people!

We used to have a donations thread but for some reason it seems to have gone to the abyss. We often get people PMing us asking how to donate so I decided to throw this back up.

To clarify the use of donations, they are primarily used for:
web hosting fees (we use a good load of transfer every month)

other uses are:
deposit on race tracks (for Taupo, this has just changed and we need to pay more earlier)
initial spend for setting up apparel orders
bbq lunches, etc at events
etc

Oldschool.co.nz is totally non-profit meaning that neither Gaz nor I, or any of the mods receive any money for keeping this place running.

You can donate as little or much as you like into the following bank account:
12-3119-0176170-000

So if you are able to help out in any way, anything is greatly appreciated in keeping this place going and enabling events and other things to continue taking place.

Cheers

Leon & Gaz

Do any of you dudes know anything about commssions? Say if oldschool put my business in the Sponsors section and for any sales that come about from this I give oldschool a percentage cut?! My website is www.uberclean.co.nz
Just thought a lot of the boes may have work toilets that I could clean and maybe you guys could have a taste of the cream... needs to be 100% legit tax wise etc though... so anyone on here who works in the accounting or legal types of industry and knows the answer to this post here!
You may think pfffft deep cleaning wont make us much $$$ but I think you'd be quite surprised... anyway offer is on table... Length of ground I'm willing to travel depends on size of job... People who work in the mechanical types of trade gets the best value for money because often workshops are so dam filthy... anyway if this sounds like something you may be interesetd in lemme know, may be something you could set up with other old schoolers too...

arnt 'advertising costs' 100% tax deductable?

[crazytim]

Is oldschool.co.nz a registered company so to speak? Would I claim the commission as advertising?! I have a load of work on so not desperate or anything, this is an idea I had when I was desperate when 1st started the business... anyway without much effort or support this could put an extra $5hundy in the oldschool account each year... with loads of work and support this could generate a few thousand quite easily...

On a similar note, is there any way to throw up some google ads etc to bring in a lil dough? I fucking hate ads but wondered if relevant advertising for example:

techtoytuning
kelford
nz performance wheels
arrow wheels
uber clean (you owe me $20 for this shameless plug)

would be links that we would use anyway and might be a good cash cow

Or does phppbbpb(?) not allow this sorta thing?

*edit* this is assuming they wanna pay you

Yeah, there will be a mod so that this can be done. Just need to get some advertisers though!
