88pathoffroad Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) If anyone wants to donate a few dollars toward keeping NPORA alive, here is a Paypal donation link you can use to do so. All donations will go toward hosting, forum software and domain registration specifically for NPORA. I would also like to have a run of stickers made eventually since we have such an awesome design and all. Maybe t-shirts? DONATIONS *This information is outdated, please do not use any links contained within this thread to make NPORA donations.*I'm not asking for everyone to drop twenties on NPORA, but a few bucks here and there would really help. Our first goal is $30 to pay back Scott for last month's hosting, $30 for this month and $180 for new vBulletin forum software. Thank you very much, everyone.

RedPath88 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 No worries about paying me back Lets just focus on converting the boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I gave a very small amount but if 10 good ppl donate the same amount thats $30= 1 months hosting right? Larger donations to come down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitterymonkey Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks, Jon and David! No Problem, THANK YOU & all the moderators who keep this board runnin'. You get the $180.00 for the software yet? Should be an easy 1st goal to reach. How about putting a donate link at the top of the page? & I would love to be able to buy a T-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jitterymonkey Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We had $55.11 and I used $30 to pay for the forums for this month. Now: $25.11. {steps up on soap box} I know times are tough,but that's pretty sad with 3,714 members on here. If you can afford a computer & an internet connection... HELL,if you can afford to drive a gas hog like the WD-21/R-50 you can afford to send a few bucks a month to keep this forum going & hopefully make it better. Think about what it would be like without it... How much money has this forum saved you? Yeah,you got NOR & the AC board but try & say something negative about Calmini or AC on 'em & see what happens. O.K. I'm done (for now) {climbs down from soap box} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 88 like I suggested if you could throw a donation link on the front page that may pick up business...I didn't see this thread until today and I saw it on accident since I rarely venture through the "offtopic" section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 88 like I suggested if you could throw a donation link on the front page that may pick up business...I didn't see this thread until today and I saw it on accident since I rarely venture through the "offtopic" section I agree, just like me. Maybe it would be more visible in NPORA Announcements section. BTW, Paypal'd US$10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I know times are tough,but that's pretty sad with 3,714 members on here. Keep in mind, How many of those mebers have enven logged on in the last month (let alone year) I think its safe to say maybe only 100 of the most active members actually know whats going on. Non the less, I have no doubt we can keep NPORA alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 also it would be cool if you could see what the donation level was at just to see how the community has been responding and if someone wanted to take it upon themselves to do something like Mr Jim did with a T-shirt/sticker for a membership for something like 15-20 a year... heres NOAS's site (our requirements don't have to be like theirs but it could be a start to insure the online community and reward those who are long term members): Thank you for your interest in joining NOAS.

laxman0324 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Some of the forums do a "premium" membership for like $10 a year. I also support the motion to put a link up on the top of the main page, a lot of non regulars said they would donate b/c this site has saved them so much. Sending my support now, not much during the semester but during the summer I can donate more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might see there is $$$ in the kitty and think no donations are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
