Hey guys,
I would like to remind you all that it is the donations made by our members that keep our community on its feet. As I've pointed out in the past:
Here are a list of common expenses:
- Domains: 7 domains are currently paid for and being run under RAF.
- Servers: 2 shared servers are used by RAF. Server /host related costs fluctuate. We are charged for backups for instance.
- Software: RAF from time to time purchases software for users to use, or for development purposes.
- Advertising: a forum without members is not a forum after all. I use paid services to promote RAF. This is the biggest expense outside of regular expenses.
In case you're wondering if there are any perks for donors; you're in luck:
There are three tiers based on how much you donate (you know, reward those more who donate more)
1. If you donate less than $10:
"Donor"
Your account will reflect 9 Stars, enjoy all the privileges of the "God" Rank and your account will be able to store 1000 personal messages. You'll be credited 10 karma points and you'll have access to D-Lounge. This member position will only last for 6 months.2. If you donate more than $10, but less than $50:
"Silver Donor"
In addition to the above, your account will have 10 stars, and you'll be credited 20 karma points. This position will last for 1 year.3. If you donate more than $50:
"Gold Donor"
In addition to the above, your account will have 11 stars, your color changes to gold, you'll be able to store unlimited personal messages (for you chatter-boxes), when you view the forum there will be no advertisements, and you'll have all these privileges forever.So what are you waiting for?
