The corrado-forum.net Pledge Drive!

Postby Andi » July 9th, 2005, 8:35 pm

For once on this forum, its a drive that doesn't involve wheels...

You all know the server's been taking a battering with the sheer size and traffic the forum now generates bringing it to its knees daily. So, the time has come for it to move to bigger and better things - and have its own dedicated server.

The only problem being, this will cost me a lot more.
This is where you lot come in.

With the current exchange rate, the server to hold the site is going to cost me directly about £85-90 per month.
We have over 4000 members on this site now, of which around 400-500 of you log in every day.

Not wishing to sound like those annoying charity 'sellers' on the street that stop you when you are so obviously in a hurry, but the irregular donations I do receive, although I am very grateful, are not going to scratch the surface on this recurring payment. I would like those of you that get so much out of this forum to help me out and give some back! :)

Are you a trader who makes money from the sales you put through the forum?
Does the forum save your bundles of money monthly?
Have you found happiness with a laydee/geezer/car of your dreams on the forum (!)?
Are you an exotic millionaire who'd like to send me money for tax reasons?

I am more than happy to receive a donation when you feel its due. There is a link at the foot of every one of my posts for one-off Paypal donations, or contact me via PM if you'd like to pay in another way (no sex please, I'm happily attached!)

Why a subscriber?
The best way to show your support for our community is a regular donation to help with my costs. When the forum is transferred to the new server, I will be investing some time in producing some special Subscriber-only services and tools. This will range from downloads to Image hosting to anything I can think of which might interest you!

If you would like to become a CF Subscriber
Then there are some links to help you get setup. It's using Paypal - if you don't get on with Paypal, then please contact me if you'd like to help in another way, else click away below.

Donate £1 a month :: Donate £2 a month :: Donate £5 a month :: Donate £7 a month :: Donate £10 a month :: Donate £15 a month :: Donate £20 a month

If you would like a donate a different amount to those shown above on a monthly basis, or donate an amount regularly at a different frequency (weekly, bi-monthly, quarterly, etc) then please do not hesitate to contact me for a tailored link.

Many thanks for your support and here's to the future of THE Corrado Forum - the best VW community in the world!

I will more than happily support this - the Forum gives a huge amount - time those of us who use it put something back - not that bothered about Subscriber only features, personally I'd rather all Rado owners have exactly the same access

Now subscribed and will give one off donations periodically as well

Subscribed Andi, can you leave my stars as they are though?

Would be good to get some more detailed information about peoples cars too when you get switched over. Paint and trim codes etc more of a register function. Would be nice to see who has what and how rare cloth reccaros really are!!

Thanks Andy.
As for the 'subscriber only' stuff - it will be more generalised things which the server will be able to do.
Host some files for you, your image collections, music streaming.. thing's like that.
I'll never pimp-off the community we have to have an elistest few who get access to 'special' forum bits. It'll be more of a thank you, here's some services, than a "If you're name's not down, you're not coming in" :)

Yandards - thanks mate, very much appreciated. Consider your stars unmolested ;)

Andi, as discussed i'm more than happy to make a contribution. My paypal limit is maxed until the end of this month and they seem to be incapable of verifying my account. Can you pm me another method bud and ill sort you a 1 off.

Once paypal sorted ill do a regular for you also.
