Donating Members
 

We have decided to introduce a donating members forum for those who wish to support this site in a practical manner.

Operationally, this site is fully funded well into the future - this means we can meet our server and bandwidth costs; allow for reasonable upgrades to both as required and cover the basic day to day expenses.

However it is the other things like trophies, awards and events costs that end up coming out of someone's pocket and these should really be funded by the forum as part of the operational costs.

This is a non profit operation and as such any excess funds will be used to benefit the membership or community in some form determined by the admin team.

Please note that there will be a 90 day active membership limit before eligibility to join the DM ranks although individual cases will be reviewed on their merits.

The Levels

We have set three levels of benefits for donating members based on the amount each individual wishes to contribute and these are:

Heres a question, How will i know when mine is up for payment again?

deposit numbers/details would be kept on record and i beleive all have been identified to date.

That is correct. We will provide PM's at the renewal time for those who wish to do so.

Cheers

Membership renewal payment transfered last week as well PM to Russel...cheerz

Payment made and PM sent.

Payment made today and PM sent to russellw, thanks.

Finally got off my bum ..... payment & pm sent :P

PM sent! :)

the idea is to raise money for the forum not give a big chunk of it to the theiving scum at paypay. paypay is by far the most expensive way for a person to receive a payment and I for one refuse to use it as it is an enormous rip off

Quick question I had a search around and couldn't find an answer so sorry if it has already been asked.
I noticed it says

is there a daily limit on posts? or is this images posted in the gallery?

Thinking about donating once I am off the 90days active member thingo so I just wanted to clear that up.

Donation Made and PM sent

I'd like to donate as well... sent a PM to russellw

id like to become a $20 donating member, can someone PM me?

Hi Russell,
