Poll - Supporting CD

I just went into the sponsor area of CD. I thought that I would check out the member supporters. I was surprised to see only 17 people that financially support CD (businesses not included).

I was wondering why, if CD is such a great tool, that more people do not help support it financially? I believe that it is only $5.00 every 6 months which seems to me to be very reasonable. Just looking for some insight into why.

For those who do not know who the sponsors are or would like to sponsor you just click on the PayPal button at the top center of the portal.

I've been meaning to renew my membership, but I'm a poor college kid.

Re: Poll - Supporting CD

Ok, I'll hang my head in shame.

I never knew. How were we supposed to know? Is it somewhere other than the little "pay pal donate" at the top? I'm an anti- pay pal person, so it doesn't even get a second look. Is there somewhere else that talks about this?

Re: Poll - Supporting CD

It's possible that more people have given money, and didn't want their names put on the sponsor page.

Re: Poll - Supporting CD

This is my third year browsing CD (though I didn't start using it alot until about a year and a half ago), and I'll be honest that I've never known about this or seen it mentioned.

That little PayPal button goes pretty unnoticed between 2 colorful banners at the top of the page, and I still wouldn't have noticed it if this thread wasn't made.

Re: Poll - Supporting CD

I dont currently support for a few reasons:
1- Didnt know about it(I ignore paypal pleas for money)
2- I dont use Paypal
3- I dont have money

Once i have some more reliable way of accumulating the dollars, i will chip in

Re: Poll - Supporting CD

I did when it was first offered. When my six months was up I was in the 'very poor college student' role.
But, I just got some retroactive pay from work and you put out this friendly little reminder.
I'm on the list once again.

Re: Poll - Supporting CD

If you want to donate, and don't want to use PayPal, send a private message to "Mike Martus" and he can arrange another form of payment. You will still be mentioned on the 'Supporting Members' page, and will have the advertisements removed (it just won't be instant ..)

Thank you to everybody who helps keep this site running with their generous donations.

Thanks, Steve for reminding me of this worthy cause. (last time it came up I didn't have paypal, and since then I hadn't gotten around to it)
