I like the pay. My monthly cheques from AMHD allow us to travel to visit my parents.

You get paid? I thought this website is a non profit org.:rolleyes: :confused:

[Curlyben]

Yep, it is indeed ALL the profits go to our bestest members ;)




























NOT <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Pssssst THIS INDICATES A JOKE !!!!!

[nicespringgirl]

I thought people here just help others without getting paid.
It's not volunteering?
Who are those getting paid? Are all the "Ultra members" and "Experts"?

[NeedKarma]

That's the problem with written text - I can't get that 'joking' inflection in there.

[Curlyben]

nicespringgirl, please reread my post ;)

[Capuchin]

[nicespringgirl]

Aw... you guys are bad! :P

That was a joke. But the site itself is not non-profit at least not intentionally. The owners of the site do want to make a profit. Whether they do or not I don't know.

However, all help provided on the site is on a volunteer basis. Answering questions publicly is done without any rumenration. However there are two fetures offered by the site. If an asker is pleased with the help they have received, there is an option to "tip" the responder by transferring an amount of the asker's choosing to the answerer's Paypal account. Some answerers are willing to take the help to the next level with personal, real time, one on one help on a fee basis. I've had a couple of people request IM and phone help for specific issues.

Also, most experts also get a Google adsense ad on any replies they make to a forum that they are expert in (If they have set it up), any profit from those goes directly to the expert.

In over 6 months I have made nearly $5 from these ads. Score!

When I first found this site, I had a computer problem.. then I just browsed around and read some threads and automatically felt that this was a group I wanted to join.
From all around the world, old, young, different cultures and experiences.. Where else can you find such a wonderful place?
I wouldn't give it up for anything. The people I met here cannot be replaced in my heart or mind.

This is my "home away from home" and I'm glad that we can help as much as we do.

It makes me proud to be a part.

Thumbs up for AHMD!

It help to know that there are people going through the same things as I am... A little different situation can open our eyes. I like that part...
I say thumbs up for AMHD too!

I think this is a great place to be ourselves. I can express all of my feelings and say whatever is on my mind. I have met many insightful and beautiful people, who I have connected with and learned from. I also feel very good when I am able to give someone advice and it actually helps them. I like hearing back from people. I feel very accepted and loved on here and when I started my first thread, I was struggling so much and feeling so badly. I still struggle and have days where I feel dreadful, but the people here always lift me up. Thanks to all of you.

Helping someone really sets off a feel-good chain reaction. See the effects of the simple act of helping, and you'll realize that you really do make a difference in the world.

I see how differently each of us thinks over the same thing. We learn to accept each other and be humble.

Learning is the most enjoyable thing in our life!:)

I agree 100%. It feels so good to be able to help someone. It is also so cool to see how people from different countries and cultures can come together to help each other and everyone brings their own unique perspective. It's also cool to see that we are all pretty much the same no matter where you go.

e.g. I have learned a lot from you Glinda:) Thank you.

We've all learned a lot from you, too.:) What a charming personality!
And, for the record, I look older just by showing up!:eek:

[GlindaofOz]

Well I think that we can all agree that we have all learned a lot from one another. Which I guess is also the idea of this site. ;)
