Area 51 is allegedly a secret US government place where they keep aliens and UFOs

[happygeek]

It is also a forum where members who have donated financially to DaniWeb, along with moderators and team colleagues, get together to chat and debate various issues relating to DaniWeb.

That made me fall off the chair -- you never fail to amaze me with your quality humour. ;-)

[jbennet]

How much do most people donate on avg?

[jbennet]

I was gonna donate the $45. Suppose i can sort something out...

[Narue]

>How much do most people donate on avg?
I donate my time and expertise, so at my usual consultancy rate and a guestimate of about 15 minutes per post, I've donated about $53,000. Add to that the PITA fee of 15% the regular rate and it goes to an even $60,000. I wonder if I can deduct that from my taxes... ;)

[jbennet]

Well im sorta unemployed, but if i worked in mcdonalds or something i would £3.30 per hour (as i am under 18)

i estimate each post to take around 1 minute. 3648 posts / 60 = 60.8 hours of work

60.8 * £3.30 = £200.64 is how much i could have have theroretically "earnt" from daniweb.

[Narue]

>200.64 isnt a lot.
That's because you break down the increments too small. Anything less than 15 is too small, and a lot of people will tell you that anything less than an hour is too small. ;)

[jbennet]

if i make it 15 mins iit works out at about £1500 per year

What's area 51 for?

Cant tell ya,secret govermental discussions are in progress on that base!

[christina>you]

Cant tell ya,secret govermental discussions are in progress on that base!

But really, what exactly do they do there?

[joshSCH]

Why they communicate with the alien races of course! Analyze and discover as much as they can about the different alien races.. And try to determine why the aliens are investigating our planet... lol
