Bill, I am interested in the Haven Fund (and I have contributed), but the continual comments were, to me, annoying. I almost stopped clicking on the threads with your comments listed.

Hey Bill, speaking as a loyal minion, I don't think it's that folks aren't interested, I just think it was too much too soon. Ya gotta admit, we did kinda hijack a lotta threads and take over the site; I personally thought it was pretty entertaining, but, yeah, we mighta overdone it a bit (especially w/the King 2014 Signing Tour ... I thought that was overboard a wee bit and just knew it was gonna tick people off).
Remember, all in fun and good intentions folks! I'm sure we as a site we'll still do just fine for the fundraiser ... it doesn't all have to happen in the first few weeks!

P.S. As a sign of good faith, I even shrunk the font in my signature. Keeping my Spock and Kirk minions though ... love 'em!

I could not agree more. For many years, as you all know, it was me banging the drum alone (with Jerome in the background and supporting) and annoying folks and you were all pretty gracious in putting up with my antics. This year, I got some cohorts and the whole "Minion" thing took off and well...... It got beyond my control. I'm on it as best I can and I still am very passionate about the HF, but I have PMed a few folks and asked that we take it down a notch. Please, I am not trying to be accusatory or anything like that. The phenomena took on a life of its own and I did go with it. My apologies, sincerely. The Avatars, Sigs and member profile stuff, well that is part of the enthusiasm. However, some of the "Thread" and "Bumping" things were "out of line". So, hence my apology on the behalf of myself and the minions. No hard feelings here.

I am sorry, new members, enthused to participate, got me reinvigorated and I went with it. As you probably know I do this in memory of my Mom and Nephew and I am very passionate in that respect. I meant no offense. You have always been a contributor and I greatly appreciate that fact. OK, I get a little crazy within the moment. My bad!!! The "cause" is still a good one, nevermind me!!! LOL

Just wanted to add my own apology to members here who are unhappy with the 'Minion' and HF overload, especially as it was me who created the '2014 Signature' thread. In hindsight, not a clever thing to do as I know people take great interest in such events and are obviously disappointed to find out it was just another 'marketing ploy'.
If at all possible RF - please remove the whole thread or at least change the title.
Again apologies to the affected members and I will contain further fundraising ideas to the HF specific threads as well as requested by Jerome and Bill.
Couldn't resist
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
watching Extreme Ghostbusters and Stephen King is mentioned in an episode with Cenobite like creatures
I know I'm in the minority here but I am so tired of the electronics overload. The apps, phones, tablets, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! Pretty ironic I'm typing this on a computer but at least it isn't a damn touch screen.
I just made my 5000th entry in my book collecting database. Kind of hard for me to believe I've got that many items. But, then again, I've been at it for over 30 years.

Bob, Congrats! Is that all King related?

You basement truly is the "Bobsonium Institute" Congratulations on an achievement only held by a small few. Not to offend collectors on and off this board, but I believe you are the #1 Stephen King collector in the world.
Again, congrats.

As do I! I'm still hoping Bob will some day take the time to take pics of every item in his collection, to entertain his TDT friends & fans.
