Hi active members and lurkers, I’ve set up a crowdfunding site to help Billy the Mod during a time of need. Please help. https://www.youcaring.com/billy-the-mod-571628Billy (BeefSkittles, Fear2Stop, a few other user names over the years), has been working to keep the peace at SmileySmile.net for nine years. We all know how much controversy is on this board, how hard it can be at times for Beach Boys fans to get along, here and at other places on the internet. Moderating this community is a tough job and Billy has done it for free for almost a decade while retaining the respect and liking of all. How unlikely is that? If you’ve enjoyed this board at any time in the last nine years, Billy helped give you that pleasure with his calm, balanced, low-key moderating. Billy has provided you with a valuable service. I don’t know Billy outside of this board, but it’s clear he’s been having a hard time of it with medical issues and personal losses. Currently he and his family are at risk of eviction. Please help him out, if not just out of kindness, for the sake of the future of an online home for Beach Boy fans. Imagine trying to find someone to replace Billy! If you have friends who are no longer at the board, please reach out to them; if you know people with connections to the touring Beach Boys or the Brian Wilson band, please reach out to them: even if the pros are sometimes not happy with the conversations here, it’s not to be denied that this site helps promote the Beach Boys and helps keep fans interested and buying tickets and recordings. Please help Billy by giving $5 - $15 (or more if you can!) at the following link. If we can get 100 $15s, 150 $10s or 300 $5s, we can reach my goal! And spread the word among Beach Boys fans. Let’s pay Billy back for some of what he’s given us – please. You can choose to give anonymously if you like. https://www.youcaring.com/billy-the-mod-571628 |

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

$30 dollars to halfway. If a few people can give $15 in the next few hours, we'll be halfway in the first 24 hours.
Consider all the little things - a coffee shop coffee, dessert, an album - you drop extra money on. Just give up one or two for a friend in need.
Please help.
And to those who have, thanks so much. I knew we had good people here!

Mods, a few people have suggested (via PM) that this thread be moved to the main board for a few days, just for visibility. Would that be OK?

I wish I could contribute financially, but I really can't at the moment.
The only thing I can offer is well wishes.

it's nice for you to say that. There are people in tight straits all over the place, but well-wishes are also very kind to give. |
