• Akismet anti-spam subscription
• Migration of the forum software - should reduce spam (2013)
• Development of a plugin for dice rolling on the new forum (2013)

  • Taxes
  • Tax software
• Website design (one or more of the following)
  
  • Adobe software
  • Premium themes
  • Web designer
• Time - donations will be used for infrastructure only.

There will be three support levels available. When you donate, you will receive a special badge on your profile.

Gold Patron - $50
 Silver Patron - $25
 Bronze Patron - $10

Note:  For 2012, the tank on the badge is the US Sherman.

To donate, just click on the "Buy Now" PayPal button on the right of your screen.

In order to get your badge, be sure to include your email when you purchase your support level. Next, send me an email with your Axis & Allies.org username so that I can give you the badge. david [dot] jensen {at} axisandallies (dot) org

Thanks!

Just like last time, participants will be listed here. If you get your badge and are not listed, it likely means I forgot so just send me a friendly reminder.

The (fmgc) just means they made the support donation in person at FMGC12. It's just a note for me for later.

I was thinking of listing special t-shirts on Zazzle for Patrons. It would be an additional cost, whatever the pice on Zazzle for a white t-shirt.

Would you be interested in that?

[djensen]

If you're attending FMGC12 this weekend or GenCon Indy. I will take USD cash.

Not in my case.

[FieldMarshalGames]

I would pay extra for an AxisanndAllies.org T-shirt.

Gold Patron status achieved, Sir!

Bronze 2012 Patron purchased and email sent! 

[djensen]

Oops, I forgot to switch over to 2013. I'll do that later today. You have about 12 hours to get a 2012 badge.

Hi David,

Out of curiosity, what tank design have you chosen for the silhouette that will appear on the 2013 badge?

[Gargantua]

Is it too late to get a 2012 badge?

Or will you make an exception... JUST for me?

It's not my fault you didn't have correct change in that toronto hotel room david! (True Story!  )

[Tall Paul]

Garg,

It's not my fault you didn't have correct change in that toronto hotel room david!

----You know,...I really DON'T want to know why you were offering another guy cash in a hotel room. 

"Tall Paul"

[Tall Paul]

Djensen,

----No big thing,...but I'd be willing to buy a "2010 Gold Patron Badge" in order to pay for the time I just watched A&A.Org, before I joined.
----That's in addition to a "2013 Gold Patron Badge".

"Tall Paul"

[Gargantua]

Whoah whoah whoah - you can't just go back and buy a 2010!

Wait... for the $50, I'm sure you can.
