The End Of The Supporting Members Program
« on: Dec 23, 2008, 04:30:18 am »
The Supporting Members Program is now closed.

I wish to extend my personal thanks to all who have donated. Your donations have helped greatly and will be remembered.

All members who have donated at least $25 (the minimum for the Bronze Account reward) have had their accounts upgraded. In case I missed anyone, if you donated at least this much and haven't had your account upgraded please send me a PM and I'll get it done.

The upgraded accounts are permanent. Even though the program has ended your account upgrades will remain.

The List:

Gold Members:
83GTCoupe
wyoming9

Silver Members:
85CelicaGTS
Red85Celica

Bronze Members:
85GTS
cluricaunne
Culpeper
hooper62
kvanderlaag
Nukes25
Nypher
rpm44
rwdfreak
tomyc48
topless1
zipty842
zoomy

And there were several others who donated what they could spare.

Thank you all!

Any particular reason for the closure of the program?

Have you become independently wealthy recently :cross:

Nah. I've just been absent from the forums too much. It really sucks that I've made a couple people wait months for their upgrade.

Donations were very rare after the first week anyway.

If you ever fall short be sure to let us know.  I've joined only recently.  From what I've seen so far in my short time here, I would have likely made some contribution down the road....

What does that really mean Steve?  What happens when the domain name renewal, hosting fees, etc need to be paid again?

I'll just pay them :P like I've been doing for the last 8 years.

Don't worry, short of me dieing, or becoming destitute, this site isn't going anywhere.

Thanks for keeping up the site Steven. Like others have said, if it gets ugly again, I don't mind tossing more in the kitty when I have it. :thumbs: Merry Christmas too!
