DP needs your help

It must have been about a year ago when I donated.
Clearly, time to do so again.

Sent via PayPal, as requested.

Wow. Thank you!

RedAkston laid it out directly. Thank you all for keeping this place funded. DP has never taken profit (zero ads) plus the donation bar disappears when monthly goal is reached. Every penny pays the bills - which are transparent. It looks like we might be at least a month ahead now.

If there are any programmers in the house that might want to help with an https issue and a PHP programmer for the 'spy' issue - please reach out to RedAkston our head admin.

Cool. In for the win for DP!

I've been known to hack PHP once in awhile. I could take this up after the summer though. Too much going on during the race season.
 
Done for $5 a month. Now I'm hoping the US economy crashes sometime soon, because that's almost $7 AUD, and I'm pretty poor. :lol:

Location: Didjabringabeeralong - Hey I like that! Right as I'm sitting here, sipping a cool Guinness Nitro IPA. :)
 
Political speech might be some of the things ole George said. I've seldom found it difficult to defend a center left or liberal position. Like it or not we have all grown up in a Christian nation.
Most of what were doing here i hope is just "batting the ball around", having fun using rhetoric.
 
While I philosophically oppose setting up recurring monthly donations (not just for DP- but for virtually everything), I'll step up my contributions.

Some one has to compensate for all the freeloading deniers around here.
 
OK, the bar is up......let's see if we can make it go away two months in a row.

PLEASE

JUNE CHALLENGE - MOVE THE BAR

I did my part on Day 1.
 
Done!!:rock
 
I made a one time donation. I couldn't get the "monthly" tab to work. You might want to check that.

The owner runs this as a non-profit business. All member donations are applied to recurring monthly running costs, purchasing cutting-edge security and software for the board, and putting some money on the side for the inevitable day that this board needs to upgrade again and purchase larger servers to increase board speed and manage the huge board database. Remember, DP is a 24/7/365 getaway. The owner's sole request is that the membership help in defraying the monthly costs.

A very reasonable request. You get a lot of bang for your buck here at DP. :)

I agree, Schweddy and the team have put together a pretty good product here.

Agreed...I have been on forums for pretty much 20 years, this is the first time that I have ever been willing to pay (though full disclosure a couple of places I have been did not take donations).

COME ON PEOPLE>>>>we are halfway there, let's impress staff and owner with how much we care!

Will I get one "temped" exemption for the effort? ;) J/K

Greetings, RetiredUSN. :2wave:

Red Akston explained to me yesterday when I asked several questions about renewals.

1. Anyone who wants to renew for one year on a silver, gold, or platinum as we did previously may continue to do so.

2. Anyone who wishes to try the new method for the amounts listed must use PayPal, since that's the only way they can get monthly donations, but you can use any credit card or bank account to send money to PayPal.

Hope this helps.....
 
Suggestion - Fund raising to reach a min of at least 6 -8 months of costs.
Then as the fund is depleted, fund raisers could be held to maintain that. Takes some of the stress away from the guy who runs the place, and allows those on limited budgets time to donate
 
I was overdue to renew so thanks for the reminder.
