It's that time of year again and vBulletin is spamming me again with reminders that we need to pay them :p.
It has been a while since I've posted about this because we had constant subscriptions/donations up until the end of August 2008. Then everyone stopped :(.
We have lasted great since then though, with plenty of money for hosting and competitions. However, with vBulletin needing to be paid in 4 days (£60+) as well as future web hosting and domains we are a little short of cash. Also, if you want the prize draws to continue and us to get stuff like the review system, then more money is definitely needed!
Luckily, we still have a fair amount left from last year so we aren't having to start from scratch at all. £80-100 on top of what we already have should be what we aim for, since that would allow for the greatest flexibility and expansion over the year to come. Please remember though that all spare money stays in PayPal or equivalent until it is needed by ATK.
I'm sure you all know the ways you can help us out, but here are some links:
DONATIONS HERE (http://www.atkcommunity.com/billspaypal.php) | SUBSCRIPTIONS HERE (http://www.atkcommunity.com/index.php?page=subscriptions)
Usually donators don't get anything in return, but for this time only I will grant subscription privileges to those that donate. For example, if you donate £10 you will get the premium stuff for a month etc.
If you donate more (which would be fantastic and extremely helpful) e.g. £30 you would get £10 worth of premium subscription for 3 months. We may be able to sort some other stuff out too :)!
As you have probably realized, I prefer donations since it means I can pay for all of this stuff now, rather than waiting a few months down the line (obviously not an option with vBulletin). If you can only subscribe, that is still great.
Please DO NOT use the pay by mobile service since OneBip take a stupidly large commission.
Thank you for your support!
NB. Please don't discuss whether we should use vBulletin or not, we are past that point now.
