Donation module is up!

[Malloy]

http://forums.celicasupra.com/payments.php

In order to help fund the site, I enabled a support/donation module. There are 3 levels:

Platinum
http://forums.celicasupra.com/images/ranks/csplat.gif
12-Month Supporting Member Subscription. Removes Google ads, includes more PM space & 6 times the regular Gallery space!

Gold
http://forums.celicasupra.com/images/ranks/csgold.gif
12-Month Supporting Member Subscription. Includes even more PM space & 3 times the regular Gallery space!

Silver
http://forums.celicasupra.com/images/ranks/cssilv.gif
12-Month Supporting Member Subscription. Includes more PM space.

Any/all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks gang! :) Also, for those who do not use Paypal, you can send a check/mo to my addy:


Thanks!!!

[Malibyte]

Hey, Mike...just happened to wander in here tonight before shuttin' off the machine.

I'm down. Keep up the good work!!

Just wondering...if I kick in an extra $10, can I ban trolls? Please??? :p

[Dangerous Ken]

If the PM space is 200 messages for free, what's the new message limit for each paid level?

Ken

[Rich64N]

I'm totally with Ken on this one (number of PMs) as I'm usually around 160 - though I've never hit the limit (close!). I keep some for reference (folks addresses and numbers), and in my outbox, ones I've sent out many times in response to similar questions.

[Malloy]

S-250, G-300, P-350

I was *very* generous by giving 200 messages in the beginning. For comparison, Supraforums gives 65 messages. Sooo, the added value here is extra gallery space.

To be clear, we are not selling a service here. Im not trying to sell you more PM or Gallery space, its just a thank you gesture for anyone who contributes to the site. :)

[CarFreek]

Hey, when do I get my cool star banner thingy for donating?

[pdupler]

Damn Mike. Since I'm already on paypal, that was too easy.

[Junkie]

Damn Mike. Since I'm already on paypal, that was too easy.



:stupid: About time,I was even more broke last time,and not able to donate.I don't think that will happen again :rolleyes:

[Avp23]

[zank]

[Chrisfrom1986]

:frown:

[Kevin Kisseberth]

I have a question. I do not need no more space and everything but wiould have no problem donating. What do I do. Again I can just do the paypal thing and the site gives me more but I will never use it so i would rather just give it directly to the site itself. Thanks

[ZZT231]

Hello All,

Malloy, would I be able to get a mate to paypal for me? As I don't have a credit card...

Cheers.

[Malloy]

kk: No worries. If you dont use the space, its ok. If you ever want to, the software will allow your user name to do so. No biggie :)

zz: I will send you a PM.

Thanks guys!

[TRD 83 SUPRA XX]

I know if I had the extra cash I would pay the 50. But I dont at the moment. I will later on tho.

[935motorsports]

does my "donation" count?

[TRD 83 SUPRA XX]

Id say so. Your listed as a Vender.

[Supra_Soul]

Although I haven't been here long. If it weren't for the this site my Supra would probably be broken down on the side of the road somewhere. :(

[turbogoo1]

Remember If you can't have a supra...be a supra supporter!

[CELICA XX]

Just wondering...if I kick in an extra $10, can I ban trolls?HAHA !!!



Thanks Mike !

[trdmkii]

:zzzzz: :loser: I feel so cool now with my Platinum supporter status now

zank you are retarded.

[maitoy]

I did it i just now became a Platinum Supporter, this site is awesome, very nice job!!!!!

[MightyAl]

I made my very appreciative donation last night and expect my tote bag soon. I did have a serious question though. Is there any way to upgrade? If I hit a windfall next month I am thinking that I will pass it on to CS.com.

[TOYMAN321]

Donation made... keep up the good work!!!!

[Greg G]

Okeedookie I just hooked Mikey up with his new MK2 fund, gold style!

[Malloy]

Yea, payment@celicasupra.com is actually SupraBobs account

shhhhhhhhhhh.. ;)

[pdupler]

I know this site actually does require "work" and if it had been left up to me, we'd still be yaking on yahoo. Mike, If you want to pay yourself a stipend out of the kitty for your efforts, then its OK with me. I suggest tho much like political campaign contributions, full disclosure.

[Junkie]

Personaly,I don't care if he spends the money on hookers and crack..........as long as the site stays running ;)

[Malloy]

I was afraid Greg's comment would spark this.

Im not in this to make $$$. Hell, up until last year it was coming from my pocket.

I added the contribution module to pay for the additional bandwidth we are going to start soaking up with the gallery and increased discussion. I also have to pay for software and some programming. Im considering a switch to a standalone box, which will cost a lot more than what Im using now.

ps. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. There are plenty of more upgrades slated for the site. :)

[Junkie]

Mike,gotta mess with ya once in awhile.It's all good, ....need an extra 10 spot for the girlie down the block ?;)

[Malloy]

LOL Ill need an extra 35 for dat azz.

[Kevin Kisseberth]

alright I'll throw in the other $25

[Junkie]

Mikey pays toooo much.Must be high class ho's on the block.

[Kevin Kisseberth]

He has to go closer to Atlantic City. It gets alot cheaper around there. Okay were done with this !!

[Greg G]

I was only breaking some chops... Mike and I are good enough friends to understand one another. Perhaps that dsnt play out well over the forum.

Besides, Mike is a balla supreme, and he dsnt need to loot the puny cs.com account. He's too busy droppin G'z on Krissy and Dom for the underage girls on club nites.... whats that place called. Soap Factory I think?

Seriously... Mikey shouldnt need to come out of pocket to run this joint, and I think most everyone here knows that.

[935motorsports]

What I meant was, why do *I* still see google ads?

[zank]

:stupid: also as long as I dont have to see those stupid adds Im all good :eek4dance:

[jimvegas00]

Hell yeah I'll kick in for platinum status. I've saved alot more than that just in helpful info on this site.

[Malibyte]

Hi Jim -

Long time no see...how goes it??

See you at SILV in September!

[Don L.]

Sorry to be a late arrival on this. Mike does an awesome job with this site, and though I haven't been quite as active recently, it's still a great resource!
Besides, where else would I meet all you great folks!

Keep up the great work, Mike!

Always glad to offer whatever support possible.

Don L.
'84 Supra
(still have that CS.com banner you gave me on the car :)

[Malloy]

Don: awesome! Im glad that worked out for ya :)

Thanks for all the donations gang!

[Angkistrodon]

You gots my duckets!

[HLins]

I know this is an old thread but thought I would resurrect it to remind everyone what a great service the forum provides. We all have access to a database full of information that helps us maintain and enhance our Supras. Think of all the money we save by seeking advise before we make those costly mistakes. Maybe consider giving some of it back as a Silver, Gold, or Platinum-supporting member; it’s a fantastic value and only takes a minute using PayPal.

[Malloy]

hL: I just saw the contribution. Thanks a ton! It really helps, as I had to recently upgrade the hosting package.

[HLins]

Malloy, glad to help and maybe we can get some more users to chip in for future enhancements.

[spud3861]

Thanks for a great forum. Funds sent.

[Junkie]

Mike,do we get reminders when the year is up ???

[Malloy]

Yea, thats all built into the software. Thanks Spud!

[AJ]

Mr. Mallory other than the reminders built into the software, can we check somewhere in our profile? Some of us have CRS syndrome pretty bad!!

[Junkie]

Come on Arch ....we aint that damn old ...............YET ;)

<---CRS is a very good excuse,almost as good as being the "old man"
<---Not the "old man" at the new job,learned I was slacking in my duties,learned a lot from the F.O.G. "F'N OLD GUY"

[AJ]

Speaking of remembering some things, did the Toy Carb Handbook arrive AOK yet???

[CELICA XX]

Mr. Mallory other than the reminders built into the software, can we check somewhere in our profile?


Yeah... click on USER CP

Then, on the left side of the page, click on "Paid Subscriptions"

The start date and expiry date are listed.

[85midnightsupra]

i know im late, but paypal sent.... for some reason i didnt come across this earlier

[Malloy]

Thanks Jon!

[1suprafan]

I just sent in the payment. Thanks for the site. I believe some one said this earlier but there is no telling the shape my supra would be sitting in right now if it wasn't for this site. Thanks again.

[cheappower82]

I chose gold because I'm cheap and I like the bling :woot:

[turbogoo1]

I decided on the platinum....cause real ballers wear platinum....lol

[Yotaholic]

Thanks Malloy and I haven't been a member very long but to make a contribution to this site is the least I could do. The contacts you meet here and the endless stream of information make it a great place to learn and share our passion for our cars. Cheers !!

[TRD 83 SUPRA XX]

Just payed mine.

[SlapFunkWarrior]

this forum has so muck info and knowledge at its disposal, how could you not feel obligated to help out somehow. three days on the site i realized i need to help keep this thing up and going. GOLD PAID. thanks Malloy ... keep us up and running. is there any other way to donate funds,in a larger scale? you never know who feels like being generous and throwin a wad at the forums.
if thats all it takes to keep us up and running , everyone who has used any info aquired from reading these pages should be adding to the fund.

if you havent donated yet..... think about how much that wrong info you were given by your buddy would have cost you if it weren't for the cs members helping. seems insignificant doesn't it?

[m1ng]

^^ 100&#37; agree.payment sent.thanks for the site.

[Supradavis]

I finally chipped in! Had to raid my :piggy:!! :faint:

Thanks to everyone who helps support and maintain this site. You guys are awesome!!! :good:

[Malloy]

Thanks a lot guys I appreciate it!

[yannis-supras]

...eeeh a few weeks ago for some stupid reason I thought that my subscription expired so I went ahead and payed for a gold subscription but I can see that my platinum subscription (the current one that I thought was out) is actually still on :duh: . So I guess the gold subscription will come in act after the platinum sub expiration, correct?

[rexgo]

I just donated - because this is a good value! I've come from other forums that aren't this "alive" or realistic in postings. Thks CS.com

[discoelk]

I donated but I'm not getting the benefits. :whatever:

[Uncle Bob]

Well i donated to the club as its only $15.00 for silver membership and i feel I've taken $15.00 of info from the club but also hope you guys took inspiration from my restoration project, I'm more than happy to support the club from this side of the pond :good:

[Supra Mario Brother]

Made my donation...where's my bling...c'mon, i don't even have any gold teeth or a grille

[Malloy]

I sent ya a PM. Thanks :)

[fulk112]

question, what do i have to do to donate bc i would like to help, I dont have$$$ falling from my keester but this site is awsome. nobody cares about the cars we drive except for the people that have them, in i guess you have to have one to understand the passion. anyway i love to help so let me know, thanks to everyone @ CS.com

[fulk112]

pay no attention to my last post i finally opened my eyes and looked @that top of the home page sorry for being a dummy:duh:

[cheappower82]

I guess it's only fair to throw some of the cash I won the last two weeks at the donation module; if it weren't for CS, I'd still be in 15-second land

[Malloy]

Thanks a lot guys :)

[pimptrizkit]

yes just made silver supporter :p

[Yotaholic]

Yup Gold supporter renewed . Thanks for everything Mike !!

[artm]

Hi - sent in $'s for gold - would have done platinum except for the *****cdn dollar.
Art

[Malloy]

Thank you guys, its much appreciated :)

[AJ]

Just renewed for this year!! Thanks!!

[Dave_Cod]

$$$ are extremely tight not only with car surprizes (just had a diff go on one) but my ex g/f is in a predicament..almost homeless.... so I've not only been spending money on gas making 150 mile trips there and back, sometimes twice a week, but also helping her out with little "incidental" stuff to do with moving/storing her stuff that keeps adding up.

Even tho' I need pretty much every dollar I can get my hands on at the moment, I believe the CS site is well worth it and appreciate the effort/time it's gotta take to keep on top of everything.

So for now, I'm just going to go for the Silver pkg...but how do I do that from Canada...in US funds?? Is there a Paypal address or something?? I clicked on the Home page link but got an Error msg saying "Incorrect Currency" or something like that.

Let me know how to go about this.

Thanks soooooo much to the CS site...it's totally AWESOME...I consider myself sooooo lucky I found it....not only for parts...(but just as importantly) to be able to pick ppls brains/get info on how to do stuff.

[Malloy]

Hey Dave, check your PM. Thanks!!!

[Dave_Cod]

Haven't seen any PM in this regard...please resend.

Thanx

[tho323]

Paid. Silver.
Thanks for a great site.
