Revamping the Site Supporter Memberships

[Fenway]

If it were not for the Site Supporters this site would not be here. It has been a year since the Site Supporter Membership was introduced and I'm thinking of setting up different levels of membership. The minimum donation for the Site Supporter is $10 and all donations are gratefully accepted as it helps me cover the cost of running this place. Many members donate more than the minimum and I would like to recognize them.

What would Site Supporters like here as added features? If it were not for you there would be no INGO so you deserve more features.

Feel free to post your comments here and I will take them all into consideration.

Thanks again to all the Site Supporters

Allow the OPTION of Auction-ish classifieds. Not mandatory. No additional baby-sitting.
If too many problems arise, discontinue it.

Adopt Sugar Gliders as the official INGO mascot species.

And do something about that IGW guy. He creeps me out.

Thanks for the suggestion. There will be no auction style ads here for supporters or non supporters. Its just not going to happen. There might be a deal section where supporters can get the best prices our sponsors have to offer....

@ingunowners.com email addresses are also a possibility

I'd pay for an "Mobile Device" friendly mode... a purposeful iPhone/mobile template/css combo.

I just can't think of anything else I'd need here - as I don't have enough money to frequent the classifieds

I'd like a higher limit on my PM count so I don't have to clean up the account as often!

Also, I'd like a faster internet connection...HughesNet satellite is awful!!!

I'd also like to lose 50 pounds and figure a way to get my wife into firearms....can you do this?

I like the email and mobile-friendly ideas, so long as they're not a huge PITA to make happen. Perhaps early access for site supporters to INGO swag at the online store, when you get it up and running? I wouldn't turn down whatever deals our advertising supporters might want to offer, but I also do not want to pressure them to offer more than they can offer; most of them are, after all, in business to make money. (trying to think of things that won't cost you much if anything to make happen)

Truthfully, I gave more last year than I had to, but not as much as I would have liked to, and I did it not for extra perks but because this site rocks and I wanted to support it.

(ETA: must.....not.... request..... INGO.... bacon!)

Thanks again!

Blessings,
Bill

A mobile device mode is something that could really help out the entire membership so we probably wouldn't use that as a perk. Good idea though. We need to get on that.

Hey how about our own clubhouse with fridge for beer and bacon?

Or a site supporter only breakroom/lounge so we can tell lies and plot to get the noobs to trade good guns for surplus weapons from the jurassic era. j/k

I'd like a mobile friendlier site as well but I am on a palm so other than long load times, all is good. Maybe an additional site supporter only classified section to ensure INGO has enough operating $ to cover the rapid expansion you are experiencing?
