Rambler,

Should I go knock on his door haha? I am only a two hour ride from him.

The MODS have no additional contact information for Mysterious John that is not available to other members of this forum- we only have the "Personal Message" through this forum, and the ability to post threads on this forum.  The only thing that we have is an extra row of buttons on the bottom of our screen, that allows us to move/delete/hide/modify/splice/lock things that any member posts.  (We do have a "Moderators Section" that only the Moderators can access, and a post has been placed in that section that notifies Mysterious John about this thread and the current discontent.)  I can't think of anything else we can do.

For those of you who have used PayPal to pay for the T-Shirts and not received them - there is process you can use to file a claim if the payment was made within the last 60 days.  PayPal will ask the history, they will make an attempt to contact the seller, and with no prove the items was shipped....or no response to the claim by the seller....PayPal will rule in your favor and send your money back.

Sounds like a possibility... Didn't some website of his have his mailing address? Try it at your own risk, though... I take no responsibility for the ensuing fistfight.

Here's the mailing address he lists for donations. http://suzukisavage.com/donations.html

I just got an email from johnh@suzukisavage.com asking for a donation and signed "the mysterious johnh". The first thing I thought of was this thread. lol I'm all about supporting something as valuable as this resource but he's not touching my money.

This site is owned by John, and he provides the hardware to make it available either by buying it or renting it.
For that we should be grateful and kick in a little bit once in a while.
He has never asked for a certain amount, nor threatened to take it down for lack of cash.
He has added added so it would help pay for itself, and he does pass the hat once in a while.
I don't think he carry's a brochure around with all the sites posts.  So it is not some badge he wears.
This site is ours, we carry it as a badge 'look what we've done and who we are".
It is something we can be proud of.

He did add the store in an attempt to be self-sustaining and lately hasn't been around to take care of it.
That seems to be his only fault.

The attitude of the site is yours, it can be helpful or not.
If you wish not to support it, then why are you here?

That's the attitude Jay!
