Why does INGO need Supporters?

A couple of weeks ago the site went down because we went over our bandwidth limit. The cost of hosting has doubled. I wanted to offer banner advertising to help defray costs but no one is really jumping on that. I don't want to plaster this board with useless junk "pay per click" banner ads that have nothing to do with firearms.

Members asked about donations to help out. I don't want members sending money and not getting anything in return. This board will always be free. You will never have to pay to search or pay to display and avatar.

Where will my money go?

Contributions will help defray the cost of our increasing monthly hosting bill, domain registration, and software licensing fees. I'm also hoping to buy a new car soon. joke

The Fine Print

All donations are final. There will be no refunds under any circumstances. I really appreciate your help if you care to donate but a Supporter Membership is not a license to be able to get away with stuff. We don't have any problems on this forum now, but in the future if something should come up, all registered members are treated equal here. I see no reason why this forum will not be around for years and years to come but if something should happen and this site goes down, or I have to close it, there will be no refunds. Your donation of $10 ($11 paypal) or more entitles you to a Subscriber Membership for one year from the time of payment. This status may be revoked at any time if I feel like you are being a jack ass. If at the end of one year you care not to renew your Subscriber status you will loose the features. I am not a lawyer but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.

Thanks, Mike

Count me in. I told you I'd support the board when you started accepting donations and I stand by that.

bwframe · 06-11-2008

Cool, I'll get a check out tomorrow.

karlsgunbunker · 06-12-2008

What's the Paypal address?

You could also add a Members Only forum, Visable only to Members/supporters.
I've seen it done with success on other boards.

Membership has it's Priveledges.

Fenway · 06-12-2008

Yes, that is a good idea Karl and one I have thought about. I have done private forums for people who donate on other sites I own and I'm afraid it has changed the vibe on some of them. It becomes an us vs. them type thing. (people who donate vs. those who don't) I do not think that would happen here because this is a really nice board but I don't want to find out.

I want those who donate to get some perks but I want every member to have the same amount of access to the board!
