Donations to the site

[MrGxr]

I'm in... just let me know how to get the money to ya.

[PACIFICBUSA]

[BLKBLU04]

Sounds alright here!

I always said a monthly membership/ "donation" is something to be considered. I would prefer to do an annual payment easier that way but anyway let me know where to send the $$$.

[DREW]

Count me in ! echo.....................

Don't like the idea of reoccuring charges to be on the site. Donation based as a start may work just fine for what Cap needs to cover.

No No, I think your right, it would just be handy as an option for some. I would like it personally, it's like a newspaper subscription. It would automatically charge my Amex $5 a month until I cancelled or stopped it... May not be for all, but it's something that I would like to see as an option anyway.

It's probably not an easy thing to set up, and it would involve storing credit card numbers and I am sure that is something the Captain doesn't want to get involved in, so it's a moot point anyway...

So uh yeah... I'll just toss my Jackson in there and keep quiet...

Cap,

I am in. Do you want it by Paypal or I would be glad to send a check. As with all the others thanks for the hard work in keeping the site running!

[bacharles]

I'm in for an annual donation, but agree that a recurring charge could be made optional for those that wish to use it.

I was a member of Team Chevelle before I sold it to my Dad, and they just sent an e-mail once a year for renewals. That site was free, but required a subscription to be able to post/view in certain areas. It was only $20 per year.

Captain, just figure out what the "cost per member" would be to keep the site going strong, and let us know.

Keep up the good work

EDIT: Oh yeah...I'm all for the 96x96 avatar bonus

OK so here we go, this is a link to the donation screen... I if you want your member title changed put that there too.

[busahaya]

Donation headed your way Cap, Thanks a mill

[justintime2]

Just like Nextel...Done!

[Turbo-Torch]

That was easy

[vincebusa]

Done..Thanks cap.

[him]

Just like donating semen huh

[TruWrecks]

Ok. Here's my thought.

There's about 8500 members listed in the directory.

Figure about 25% are fairly active members. That's about 2125 members looking around/asking questions/posting/etc.

If you charge an annual member ship of say, $20, you'll have about $40,000 p/year to maintain the site.

$20 is NOTHING compared to the value of the info on this site!

Divide it up this way:
Full Members: $20 - View/Post Messages/Upload Files.
Free Members: Free - View/Post Messages.
Guests: Free - View Only.

I'll ready for my Full Membership! Let me know what I can do to help.

[TruWrecks]

Went to the Paypal link. Got it covered! Glad I could help this time.

I'm still open to my earlier suggestion.

Keep up the great site. It's by far the BEST Hayabusa site on the net!
