John's talking about people who donate $5 to remove the banner ads up top for 6 months. This $5 goes towards operational costs for ChiefDelphi.com. If you're interested in helping out, click the 'PayPal' logo between the banners, then click it again when it appears in the upper right of the advertiser/supporter list page above a list of supporters.

Interesting. Can you give gift subscriptions to a current member if you already have one? If not would that be a practical suggestion?

Re: Supporting Members
 

You'd have to send me a private message and we could work something out.

Re: Supporting Members
 

Brandon, I know team 47 have no obligation to do so, but I am hopping you can tell us a little about how the money contributed to this website was spent on its maintainance/improvement.

Knowing your $5 goes toward a bigger hard drive or higher bandwidth might go a long way to convince more people to donate.

Just a thought.

Re: Supporting Members
 

Is there some kind of reminder when you 6 months will be up? I have no idea when I paid.

Re: Supporting Members
 

You get an email reminder.

Re: Supporting Members
 

Thanks John for pointing out this little know way of helping support this great community.
I'm in now. Lets hope we see the numbers make a large jump upwards. It's only $5 and soooo easy!

Re: Supporting Members
 

Yep, I just renewed mine last week as soon as the email reminder came in.:)

Re: Supporting Members
 

Here's an idea to perhaps raise awareness of the "donate" feature:

Perhaps you could have a little icon or something (similar to UFH or WFA, but not as big or important looking :p) that would show up next to a persons username, or maybe underneath a person's rep dots/IM icons, that would indicate that person's support of the forum. Everyone loves having extra stuff next to their username, and this might encourage people to donate, as well as distinguish those that already do. Perhaps a little star saying "ChiefDelphi.com Supporter" right next to it, that would link to the donate page.

Just an idea. :)

**** BUMP ****
It's my six month rant about Chief Delphi. I just renewed my subscription and found that there are only 19 subscribers now. Down 9 from six months ago.

For only $0.02739726027397260273972602739726 a day you can show how much you appreciate this community.

Every time some adds their 2 cents worth, do they really mean it ? :ahh:

My thanks go out to Brandon, Mike, Team 47 and all those that support Chief Delphi. I am here daily and I am thankful they are.

That's my $0.02739726027397260273972602739726 worth.

Re: Supporting Members
 

So..... who's donated? :)

Click that little PayPal button and see if your name is on the list of $5.00 donations. If not, add it. It's cool, fun, easy, and so very important in helping ChiefDelphi.

Just curious.

If we are ordering something from IFI and we reach their site through one of their banner ads, do you get a % of that?

If so, I'd gladly take that extra 20 seconds per order to support CD.

Re: Supporting Members
 

Wow, that was easy! look at the results

Re: Supporting Members
 

Simple way to tell if you have expired is that you get the banners back at the top of the portal. There are presently 17 people who are able to help with a $5.00 donation every 6 months. To see the supporters of CD click on the Quick Links and go down to supporters.

I don't know if people are aware but the money that is donated goes to the running of CD website. Team 47 has graciously run, managed and paid for this service for a while. In recent years Team 47 has had some reductions in support as have many teams. By us supporting the running of the website with our small donations it allows Team 47 to use it's funds to run the team. The CD website is a great tool that all of us use. It would be a shame to lose it because of lack of support. Team 47 has done a great job in getting sponsors for the website but can still use our small contributions.

Many have said what a great place CD is. Please vote with your donations.
