So we still need another $700 this year, to cover everything, and have chump change for next year.

Time to start beating the drum then, I’ll see what I can do.

As for revenue’s, other than donations - and limited advertising, what medium’s does this site have for raising money?  It doesn’t really sell products….  ???

Idea: Should we run a 50/50 style tourny?  $10 via paypal gets you in?  If we get 20 in the tourny, that’s $100 for the winner and $100 for the site.

I also get royalties and referral fees for the t-shirts and stickers that you see advertised on the main site.

But I don’t really want to charge for anything else. Advertising and the support drive will be enough. Thanks for brainstorming though. I really appreciate the enthusiasm!

Oh, I forgot that I would like to hire a visual web designer to redo the look and feel of the site.

I can create any look you need, except you will need a guy to do the programing bit. That might defer the costs a little.

Somebody named Kurt R. sent $50 to be a Gold Patron but did not provide their username on the forums. Also, you email provider won’t let me send you an email from @axisandallies.org.

Can Kurt please send me an email. If I do not receive some sort of notification within 5 days, I’m going to assume it is a fruad and refund the $50.

Since your email is listed as ‘hidden’ under your profile I’ll post here.  My email address is [removed by admin] - I had my old email address under my paypal account which is fixed now.

[Gargantua]

Way to be a hero Kurt.

Now you are one of us :)

Just to make sure my english doesn’t fail me : Do you mean I should wait buying patron support because 2010 is off and 2011 not yet started?
In clear : Is “2010 Support Drive” is same thing as “Patron 2010 Support level”?

I would like to help supporting this site, since it provided me so many answers (special thanks to Krieghund) and hours of fun with new players (and play style).

[djensen]

Nope, the 2010 Support Drive is still on. I’ll start 2011 in July. We’ll be back on a “normal” calendar schedule for 2012, starting in January 2012.

[Guest]

Well count me in for the upcoming year and more after as well.

[TheDefinitiveS]

Any update on the 2010 supporters list and when will the 2011 support drive start? No pressure, Im just being curious.
Cheers TDS.

[BigBadBruce]

Seems we’ll skip 2011… and perhaps have 2012 starts early.

Oh! and another question just hit me… what is the “2007 AAR” banner for? Is it (old) past banner that I can’t participate in anymore?

[Imperious Leader]

ditto

[TheDefinitiveS]

Any update on 2011/2012 support level thingy mah jig.

[Tall Paul]

Imperious Leader(or whomever),

I’d be glad to contribute $50.00 to the 2012 fund drive as a gold patron member.  I get many times that amount of enjoyment and information from this forum.  Thanks Again.
