RF Generation Message Board

RF Generation is a community of gamers, collectors, and generally good people that make this place truly special. With this site though there are costs associated with it, whether it is domain registration fees, server costs, contingency budgets, or contests. Well, these costs add up, and for poor college kids such as myself it is a cost that we would love to be shared amongst the community. As such, today we start the 2007 "keep the site running" donation drive.

Any donation made during this drive will be used solely for server costs and contingencies. Over the past year, we've seen readership grow immensely, and we want to make sure that we have the funds available to ensure that the server and site are always running properly. With your help, we'll have the funds to keep the site going for another year. This year, we are looking for a goal of $500 to be raised.

The question then arises - what is the incentive for donating? Well, don't you love the site? Wouldn't you hate it if it disappeared? Well, while the site will never disappear, you certainly would make the poor college kids (and Scott) happy if you helped defray the costs of running the site.  Additionally, there are perks. Anyone who donates money this year will get to be given donor status, which let's everyone know that they helped to keep the site running. Additionally, we have something new this year for donors - freebies! If you donate $20, you will get RF Generation Logo Magnet, and if you donate $50, a cool RF Generation ringer T is yours to keep! That's our way of saying thanks for donating! Please note that to get your shirt or magnet you will have to provide an address to us via PM, and while we're pretty sure we can deliver our merchandise anywhere, we can't guarantee it. If we find out that you live somewhere where we can't deliver the shirt we'll make every effort to make things right, including having the shirt delivered to our house and then out via UPS, DHL, or Fed-ex rather than having it shipped directly from the manufacturer.

To donate, click the donate button located in the navigation area of our forum, or click here (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?action=paypal). We certainly appreciate any donation that is made, and with your help, we'll reach our goal. Thank you!

T-shirt looks very nice!

I sent in a little, I'll do more when I can.

Thanks man!

Tried yesterday but it kept taking me to the PayPal home-page, so either the donation buttton was fixed today or PayPal was stuffing up.

Good news is since it is working now, my donation is in :)

What's the current balance? As much as I'd love to donate something I'm kind of skint. I'm supposed to have some money coming in within a couple of weeks.

Just do what you can when you can James, it all helps.

He is correct!

Just out of curiosity, where dose the donor status thing appear?
I haven't seen anyone as a donor yet but am sure some people must of donated already.

<-- ;)

That's from last year.

Duh.. silly me.
I've noticed you had that before in-place of a video game system rating, and yet it completely escaped my mind.

How did you earn your residency award may I ask?
Just curious :)

Look at the bottom right graph.

I love stats, and I can't believe that you've pulled an entire day in front of me.

Wow, you earned that reward :)
I can't believe the Idle Chatter board is ahead of the VGG board.

It's those completely unrelated series of thoughts... all 10355 posts.

Is there a way to donate that's not paypal?  Money order perhaps?

Here's my helping hand to a great place.  More money for the kitty  ;)

I've made my donation now. :)

Good man!

I just send in $10!

Thanks everyone!

How come no one answered my question?  I'd really like to get a T-shirt, but I don't have a paypal account and I don't like using my credit card,  I would prefer sending a money order. 

Eddie is taking care of the PayPal account. Send him a PM. I am sure sending a MO would be fine.

Yup, send me a PM and I can give you the details.

I've been meaning to ask this and I've finally got around to doing this.  Can we send a check or money to Trader because I'd rather not give Paypal any extra money. I'd rather give it to the site.

I finally got around to donating.  I ended up not sending the money order, I never remember to pick one up while I'm out, so I just did the paypal. 

Thanks everyone!

Thanks again everyone, we met our goal for the server costs next year.  If you donated enough to receive a gift and haven't given TraderJake your shipping info yet, remember to do so!
