PS: sorry for the server disruptions this morning. I've hired an experienced MySQL server tech to help me locate and fix damaged tables in the forum database which we think is causing the ocassional server lockups. (The forum db is huge now, 3.2GB ).
Your donation money in action!

Regarding long term, low input fund raising...
Another forum I frequent uses the vBulletin software to raise funds. There is a user group called 'subscribers'. It's membership is dependent on regular donations. When donations are given via paypal one automatically becomes a member for 1-6 months, depending on the amount donated. The perk of membership is the ability to chose ones own signature and avatar. As it is clear who has donated and who has not, a culture of regular donation has formed. I know we have a somewhat informal arrangement like this already, but I think it could benefit from streamlined, automated integration with the vBulletin software.

Nah none of this "I donated so I have more rights" kind of stuff.
I'm glad to see the money being put to good use and salute those that did donate.

For the ads to generate income, do we need to click them, or just allow them to run on screen?

I donate when I can but some reminders every few months would be a good idea to jolt (or prick) the memory!!

I believe he is simply saying he made a 'donation' on someones behalf and wished that someone to remain nameless.

Nice, and okay
I have just allowed subsim in ******* then, if that really helps. As long as I then can block all the ads on the newspaper sites, which are filled with them...
