DrinkSmokeGolf Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi all - you may notice the occasional advertisement on the site going forward. The ads will be kept to a minimum. The intention of these ads is to pay for upgrades going forward. As the site grows, I envision I will need to move the forum to a dedicated hosting solution (done!). I would also like to convert the site to Invision as it is more feature rich than phpBB (upgrade done!). Future features planned are CCF swag and a humidor tracker. These upgrades are not cheap! For those that donate, you will see "Contributing Member" under your username. Donations Donations can be made via PayPal Simply click this link: http://goo.gl/WEV0q Donation amounts are entirely up to you and should be based on what you can afford. If you cannot afford to donate, I completely understand. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Subscriptions You can make a monthly subscription payment to CCF by clicking the button below. I would be extremely grateful to those that choose this option! CCF Subscription Option 1 : $5.00 CAD - monthly Option 2 : $10.00 CAD - monthly Option 3 : $20.00 CAD - monthly Thank you for your help!

REASON Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think for the Donations, if there was a header or line under your screen name that said/mentioned you donated that would be cool and also get people aware that this needs (site) help for the members of community to keep improving. Just a suggestion, I for one will donate to the cause. Christopher Lunting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokenscotch Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Makes perfect sense. These things aren't cheap and we all enjoy it very much. Keep us posted on details or donation amounts... Christopher Lunting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmaz00 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 could always do like a 50/50 to raise money, and use the 50% to buy for the site each year, or split the cost between members, so theres no ads... just thinking out loud Christopher Lunting and trevlan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevlan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 DSG, how long does it take to get the "Contribution Members " tag? Should I sign out or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 wait wait, if the site needs money, how about a cigar auction? we can make some money with like 5-10% going to the site if anything. or a bake sale! (pretzel sale? pita sale?) but seriously cigar auction once, twice a year?? unless the duties are too high on that.. (in fact, what ARE the applicable duties when it comes to shindigs like this? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
