Donations are now open

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I know a few of you guys have talked about this in the past so I finally got off my arse and got the feature working. There are several different amounts you can contribute, and with each comes a length of "Donating Member Status."

I don't intend for this to be the sort of site where you have to pay to access the forum so I have added a few features for donating members rather than take anything away from normal members. With that said, here is what you'll get:

- Larger Avatars
- Access to the "VIP" section
- Custom User Title
- Username colour changed to "Miata Red"
- Inbox upgraded to 500 messages!
- Warm fuzzy feeling for donating to the running of the website!

And when I get some more stickers shoot me a pm and you can get a pair for free if you've donated for a year.

Once again, thanks a lot guys, without you lot this community would not exist!

what are the donations used for?

[RotorNutFD3S]

To keep the forum up and running and hosted. It ain't free ya know. ;)

[ericsbestshot]

so it cost money to have the website?

[Sawyer]

Yes it does, a lot more than you would think.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Oh yeah. Licensing for the forum software, it has to be hosted somewhere, stuff like that.

BTW Jack, you need to add the Donate! link to the Black/Blue skin. :)

I like how your referring to it as a donation. Most clubs just call it a paid membership with a set amount.

I know gadsm did this. It was 25 a year offered up nice bonus like you have but it also gave a discount on club events. Such as when they held an event at TGP it was 40 bucks less for paid members.

There are different amounts you can choose to donate.

Yes Eric, there are server costs, domain costs and the amount of time I put into this place that takes away from other work. :)

They also go towards fronting cash for stickers, t-shirts and etc.
