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?

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

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.

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

You get an email reminder.

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!

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

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 ) 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 ?

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.
