Its not that people don't want to give you 5 dollars... Oh no, actually yeah they don't want to give you money.
At the end of the day it's for a piece of equipment, that really you don't need, and if you have a job save up and buy it yourself. Coming onto a forum that you have never been on before, and writing your first post saying "I NEED this controller so I NEED 1000 of your hard earned dollars for me to get it" is not the way to go about things.
Seriously though, can I have 300 quid for a drum machine I NEED.

I got to disagree with everyone, you never know till you ask. People will give you a dozen reasons on why you shouldn't try something but sometimes you get lucky. I once asked for a signing bonus in a field that didn't even have them but I got it because I asked, figured what the hell. So keep on asking and you'll get lucky one day.
Okay, if I give you $5 for your setup, would you give me $5 for mine? You are asking a DJ forum for handouts for something that everybody in here have saved up for themselves. You have shown that you have a following / fanbase, why do you not ask them for money? You are all about trying to keep events free, well, that's what happens when you don't charge. And NO, the culture is about asking for handouts, it's about working hard to keep what you deserve.
I have to disagree with you on this. Asking for a signing bonus from your future employer is much different than asking for handouts from people who have no connection to you. Your employer gets a hard working employee for the bonus, what do we get in return for donating? Many of us were in his shoes at one point in time saving up for gear, but we managed.
Hmm something doesn't add up to me
1) He said "I spent $5000+ on pure sound equipment"
Doesn't sound plausible for a person to do this and carry on not charging, and then go cap in hand to a forum you have not previously been active in.
2) Anyone calling themselves Broseph$talin, using a $ sign in their DJ name potentially provides a potential clue to their motives
3) "To the people being assholes. I would rather hug you + 1000 others rather then get $1000 from you."
If you genuinely wish to hug "assholes", and you have some Christlike turn-the-other-cheek style compassion for them, you probably wouldn't be calling them "assholes" in the first place, and you would completely understand forum members scepticism in this day and age of internet scamisms.
Hug an asshole today. Much more appealing than $1000 I admit
I feel a selfie hug coming on

like i said before. you don't have to charge them. just pass on a donation box at the party. none will be offended by this. they're free to give and i bet that they are willing to give. let's say there are 150 people at one party. 20 of them will donate $10, 50 donate $5. makes $450 without charging anyone. i think you should try it that way if you don't want to force the crowd to pay at the door.
I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
As everyone has probably mention TL;DR If people enjoy your events they probably wont mind paying $5-10 a night for a good time. I mean come on 18-21 year olds can afford $5-10

You're right i was trying to get some kind of luck. I mean fuck it now. This whole thing turned into a "pissing contest" of who has worked harder, ect, ect.
I'm getting bashed because I'm asking for help. okay, Fuck giving me any money the next person that is your server where ever you eat. give THEM an extra $5 on top of your tip for me. tell them "Broseph$talin Loves you"
Thank you
