I already have a membership, how can I make a donation? Can I just choose gold again and it will extend my membership by the time I choose?
 
Ocean, I just donated, and did so as a guest. I used my username and a fake address. The only thing that had to match the credit card number was the city/state/zip.

It's completely safe. I've donated here before and never had issue, and you don't have to give anything that could lead anyone to your real life identity.

Schweddy - I didn't know how to do just a normal donation, so I just did another donation like I do every year. I don't know if it has to go to a different account or whatever, but either way, it's there.

Yeah, your new gold membership begins when your current one ends.

If you can find another way that PayPal to donate, other than sending a check, you might get more donations. I realize there is a little more cost involved, but it might be worth the expense.

I've never tried to donate here, but Paypal as a whole allows Paypal, and major credit cards to pay. So there shouldn't be a problem. You don't need a Paypal account to donate to a Paypal vendor.

How? I'd be glad to donate a few bucks by credit card.

Click the Paypal link, it will ask if you want to sign in or pay with credit card, just follow the directions for the latter.

Looks like the lifetime is the best deal.

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure he'll be able to go that route now! Lots of folks have come through, as they usually do when needed.
 
can we get an update on where we are

how much needed?

versus how much collected?

and how much you think you need to hold in the kitty jar for unknown expense?

ok thanks.
 
Despite my low post count, I've considered this place a sort of "home" as far as a need to discuss recent events and theories and politics and other things on the internet for nearly a decade now. This place has helped me change opinions on topics I would probably have never bothered analyzing had it not been for this forum.

I feel a strong sense of community here at DP. I still recall when Stace and I had our first child, people on this forum actually sent us gifts for our new little boy, who is now 8 years old. I have donated in the past, but I have not done so in a while... I would be glad to help out and give back to this community. It is well worth the investment!

Thank you. Yes I learned that I can donate without a PayPal account. It was quite simple. I have no idea what I did when I tried before.
 
Despite my large trepidations in using places like PayPal to even touch any of my financial info - platinum membership fee coming your way. You're worth it.

Sorry for the delay. We now have the funds to move forward!

We were debating if we wanted to upgrade to vBulletin 5, but it looks like we will lose some functionality that we want to keep.

So, we are purchasing the lifetime for DBSEO and a new license for our search ($25). We are doing a few things in the background so that we can plan the updates and make them smooth as possible.

We have also achieved our goal for the month. The donation bar disappears we do. :)

As for the Kitty jar, so far it looks like we will have half a month after we are done. I'll give everyone the full figures when we upgrade.

I'll put a check in the mail this week; use it wherever you need to! *hugs*

Got it!

This allowed us to purchase the new likes system. :)
 
Since the upgrade donations used to be on the main board with totals - raised and needed. People have to look and may be unfamiliar with the system used to maintian the board.
Perhaps moving it back to the main board again?
 
I forgot to update about our funds. We have a little over 2 months in the bank after our upgrades. :)

This allows us keep ahead of the game.

Thank you all!
