Freebird Posted May 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2008 OK folks, I have had a number of requests from people who would like an easy way to donate to the support of VentureRider.org and also be reminded of such. Please understand that any support continues to and will ALWAYS be 100% optional. There are now a couple of ways you can help. In the left menu of the forum and the home page is a button that says "Subscribe". This is good for people who do not use PayPal as you can pay by credit card, bank account, or PayPal. It is a recurring $2.00 per month subscription plan. For PayPal users, there is also now a "Paid Subscriptions" option in the UserCP. Just click on UserCP and scroll down to Miscellaneous. You will see "Paid Subscriptions". You can the choose an option of monthly or yearly. At this time, you get nothing extra for helping support the site. Just please know that it is much appreciated. For those of you who have already donated due to the recent server change and even before that, thank you VERY much. You can't know how much it helped. I will also be sending out an email and HOPE that none of you consider it spam. As I said, this is in now way mandatory and whether you choose to help support the site monetarily or not, I am sincerely happy that you are a part of our group.

Freebird Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted May 11, 2008 I see that a couple of you tried to sign up for the monthly option in the UserCP. I'm sorry to say that I had it configured wrong and so it didn't work. It is corrected now so please try again. For those of you who wish to use snail mail.

KeithR Posted May 11, 2008 Share #7 Posted May 11, 2008 Don I was able to get as far as the Pay-Pal paying option but there wasn't anyway of putting a note on there so you would know what it was for or who it was from other than the E Mail Address used with PP. Unless there is a connection between the site and user name being tagged some how. And if its anonymous thats fine as well....just curious. Wouldn't like to see you burdened with more work than you already have been providing to this great site ! Thanks For All That You Do !!!

Freebird Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted May 11, 2008 Just a quick note. I received an email that the recurring may not be good for the one year option. I agree and have changed it. The monthly option is now set to recurring but the yearly is a one time thing. You WILL get a reminder in one year but it will not automatically charge you.

Tartan Terror Posted May 11, 2008 Share #13 Posted May 11, 2008 Can you put somthing up that shows that you are a site supporter? On my Chevy Avalanche forum if you are a site supporter you get a Bowtie with the year. That too is a free site but it recognizes those that are site supporters.

Black Owl Posted May 11, 2008 Share #14 Posted May 11, 2008 Just my 2cents worth here. I would vote against having something show whether an individual has made a donation. I know there are several folks on the site who, for reasons beyond their control may not be able to become a supporting member no matter how much thay would like too. And on a personal note, I don't think it's anyone's business but my own whether I am or am not a supporter. Singling out those who are not supporters is one big step towards developing a "class" system. Something that we have been opposed to since da y one. But, this is just my opinion.

Freebird Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share #15 Posted May 11, 2008 I agree. Thanks for the suggestion Mr. Terror and I do see both sides. It would be nice to formally recognize those who help but I don't want anybody who would like to help but just can't to feel that they are less welcome here.

calperin Posted May 11, 2008 Share #16 Posted May 11, 2008 Don, I understand about the recognition, but still I agree with black owl, shouldn't be doing any kind of difference. This are not good times moneywise talking, so no need to show who was able to do more than another ones. If the times where differents, I don't have problem on do it. Just a thought.

Freebird Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share #17 Posted May 11, 2008 Hey....I may have not stated my opinion very well but basically what I mean is that I too agree with Black Owl. Sorry if I caused any confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share #22 Posted May 12, 2008 Folks...for some reason...the monthly subscriptions done through the UserCP are all failing. I'm trying to figure out why. When I do, I'll send out another email. I thank those of you who have attempted and ask you to please be patient. Yearly is working fine..only the monthly is failing. NEVER MIND. They are working. The control panel is just strange. They are working though and thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
