I usually wait for the begging emails to arrive before I contribute.

Posters have been banned and excluded from ProBoards sites and were never given a reason under the Terms of Service.
If I contribute does that mean I cannot be arbitrarily banned and/or excluded from any ProBoards forum? Does ProBoards have such oversight over its clients? If not, I see no reason to give ProBoards my hard-earned dollars. Just by using Pro-boards you already contribute I think. On Zoominfo website it's reported that Proboards revenue is 39 m USD although net profit is not mentioned. I have contributed to Linux and some other open-source projects in the past and would soon contribute to Wikipedia. Although my contributions have been very average.

I contribute a small sum to Wikipedia every now and then even though they deleted my page a few years back.

You haven’t lived until Wikipedia publicly judges you as not being noteworthy. Yes, but can you not re-edit Wikipedia yourself? Not after the page has been deleted. I created the page after noticing that I was mentioned in an article and my name was formatted as a link even though it wasn’t linked to anything so I decided to put something there. What I didn’t know at the time was that you’re not supposed to create pages about yourself and Ben said I should delete the page as it went against Wikipedia’s rules. I agreed that it should go adding that I wasn’t going to delete it myself but he could report it if he wanted to which he did. The ensuing drama was very entertaining.

Okay, I can see why you're still pissed at Ben. That was a petty move on his part. Although I credit him now that he seems to have matured a bit and maybe changed. But I do not forget all the malicious crap he pulled in the past. Oh that didn’t annoy me and I did tell him to report the page if he wanted to. I also thought it was funny when he removed my name from other articles (that’s where the “Stalined” joke came from) but I knew I’d eventually be edited back in.

I didn't even realize that it was an option. I see that they flash nice, positive messages atop the discussion grid. And, there are shopping offers. But, I never opened any of them. I'll look into it. I was on the pro-boards on the old system ... I think I still am.
I, too, give a small monthly amount to Wikipedia, because I use it so often. Yes, there may be errors in some of the entries. But, overall, it's a convenient research site, and nothing that I would research is a matter of life or death, or national security. It's mostly my curiosity that leads me there.
If I use a service, I don't mind being supportive.
