Subsim fundraiser in september?

Hitman · 09-28-11, 04:18 PM

Just made my yearly contribution to this, my 2nd home, but Neal wasn't last year's fundraiser in Xmas LOL? Each year you are advancing the bills

I just signed up for a monthly subscription, and while everyone is entitled to make their own decision, you really should consider supporting the places you call home.

I think it's safe to say we all want a healthy home. But in order for a community to be strong it needs to be based on give and take. If Subsim has helped enrich your gaming experience, (as it has mine), then giving a little something back isn't too much to ask.

Healthy communities are best when people contribute for the benefit of others. If you think the friendship, knowledge and resources that have been built here are worth having, then please do your part to keep them safe and available for the benefit of all.

I don't mind the fundraising, but I thought this year that Frau had spent enough at Amazon.com to run this site for the next 14 years.

I think the move from xmas is a good one, people have less spare money around then.

I'm actually going to be making my donation around Christmas simply because my Christmas bonus means I have more money to spend around that time.

Herr-Berbunch · 09-28-11, 05:49 PM

^There's always one!

I think people will be lucky to get a bonus in the current climate! We usually get vouchers for some shopping and a slight cash prize if we don't go ill during the previous 12 months

My only criticism of the current campaign is that there is no flexibility in the monthly payment option. Perhaps it could be looked into for whether Paypal will allow some sort of open field, to enter in an arbitrary amount for a monthly donation.

Yeah don't worry, just someting that is OK considering your incomes. Sometimes a mere 5$ from someone is for him really much more than 50$ from others, and because we are a large amount of members, this all sums up to something that helps Neal a lot

Actually it is customary in EU to receuve an additional or bonus pay in Xmas (Tradition but also a way to boost sales and economy) so it is many times better for us then, but OK for me because just this month I received my extra pay for productivity.

Onkel Neal · 09-29-11, 02:28 AM

I moved it forward because both times previously, several people lamented having it so close to Christmas.

Herr-Berbunch · 09-29-11, 05:28 AM

Run it all the way through to Jan!

Get the best of both worlds.

BossMark · 09-29-11, 06:06 AM

I gave some money for these great forums a month or so ago, and I will promise this I will contributing a few pounds more before Christmas

Made my Pesos donation on 26th and got a reminder back to the days of the GWX Gold release that donations were a way not only to support this great community but also a way of getting an early release of the mod.

Great memories

Come on folks...whatever you can afford...every little helps.

I've two enamel LS cap badges left as were worn by The Grey Wolves and Neal at the 2008 SS Meet so Neal if you want, pick out two names at random from those who donate at the conclusion of the fundraiser and I'll post them off.

SINK EM ALL!!

That's the way I got GWX last year (must've been me that broke it)! Could've save a small fortune if I'd just followed your sig
