we have something planned in that respect, so stay tuned

[Manitcor]

And the donations keep rolling in. Thanks to everyone below who has given a donation this year. We are making good progress but we are still very short of breaking even so any help you can offer up is great. When you subscribe you will automatically be upgraded to the Donation Level you chose granting access to special forums and extended features (see donation announcement for more details).

Also if you are at a lower donation level and wish to upgrade to a higher level you can and only pay the difference in your current subscription (pro-rated based on time left in year) to go to the next level. If your feeling really generous and fell that $75 isin't enough just shoot me a PM and we will be happy to accommodate you.

Updated the donators list, closed out for 2007. Sorry for the belated props to somee of the folks who donated toward the end of the year. I push yur subscription out to match the 2 week you were waiting for me to accept your payments.

Thanks guys this helps cover our hosting and software bills a a nice bit.


Also as a note, from here until forever I am going to strive to keep mymonte.com and our sister site 2kmc.mymonte.com completly advertiser free. No banners, no text ads nothing. Here you can come and enjoy one of thhe few sites left that have no ADs. We will operate 100% from the donations of our memebers.

Thanks for the support.

If I plan to contribute $20 per year, that's a piitance compared to what this site saves me. That donor list by those standards ought to be several times longer.

[Manitcor]

And the first donation of 2008 goes to a new member Robie! Thanks Robie!

He has donated $10 to kick things off for the year. He now has access to the donators forum and other goodies as well.

Rememer if you want to donate just use the purchase paid subscriptions link from your Control Panel or click here: http://mymonte.com/discussion/index.php?ac...&CODE=index

[Manitcor]

Now Dante has posted a new donation of $100! Ontop of his $10 donation back in August last year. Thank you Dante, I have created a new donation level V to accomdate donations of that size. Anyone wishing to donate more than $75 now has a $100 option in the panel.

[Cully77]

I think maybe I'm just not seeing something, but when I click "purchase paid subscriptions" it just shows me my current donation, and I can't figure out how to make a new one.

Fixed now

[Manitcor]

thanks Cully77 for a new donation this year to continue his subscription and Tackle for his first time donation.

[Manitcor]

Thanks to amexcreuse for his generous donation of $50 for level III.

[Manitcor]

thanks to ST3V3, a lurker on the forum who donated $10. Thanks for your help. Bills are coming due soon and this will def help out.

[Manitcor]

and now thanks to:

PeterP311 for his generous donation of $50. This is peter's second year of donating to help keep MM alive. Thanks for the continued support.

chadderkdawg for his donation of $10.

dykzeulb for his donation of $20. Another "serial giver".

This puts us at $290 for the year. Thanks to everyone for the great support, MyMonte would be MUCH more difficult to keep alive and ad free without you!

Next time you come to MyMonte.com and enjoy a few moments of peace from the barrage of advertisers and vendors be sure to thank all those who donate to keep MM going.

[PeterP311]

This forum has done so much for me its the least I can do. I dont even own a monte anymore, and im still on here all the time. I do hope in the next few months to be the owner of a 06-07 Monte SS.

[dykzeulb]

Joe,

If we end up wanting to upgrade our membership to something higher..Can it be done? If so how do we go about doing this?

If that is something you want to do please PM me before hand with the desired level and I can give you instructions and the cost to upgrade. The cost varies depending on how much time is left on your current subscription and is not something the current system does automagically.

[dykzeulb]

Cool, all I needed to know!

[tunerlover3]

I think ill donate.

Like lets say I get rid of the Monte and not get a W body for a while. Could I stop the donation?

[SS Girl]

The donation is generally a one shot thing (like you donate $25) its not like we take money out monthly or anything...so no, there really isn't a way to stop the donation.

It's a gift you give in support of MyMonte.com because you enjoy the site and what it has to offer. You can't like donate $25 now and in 6 months ask for it back because you no longer own a monte. If this is a concern, we do reccomend that you not donate. Nobody is obligated to do so, it is a form of appreciation, and it is our hope that even if you no longer own a w-body that you still enjoy the site and appreciate what it has to offer.

[tunerlover3]

Well I thought you guys would take it out every year so I guess I should have read how it works lol

I wasnt going to ask for my money back anyways or anything like that.

Im going to go donate right now!

nope, it's a transaction you must initiate each time. The subscription lasts for a year and after that, expires. There is no auto-renew mainly because most people would forget.

[3800_Beast]

Any perks if you donate besides feeling all warm inside?

[tunerlover3]

Yeah read the descriptions on the different levels of donations.

I picked level 2 so I just donated 20 bucks. Its something at least.

But I dont see that donater level 2 thing. Maybe it still has to activate or something.

[Manitcor]

thanks to tunerlover3 for a nice donation of $20

and chadderkdawg for another $10, he upgraded his subscription

Yes folks, you can upgrade an existing subscription!

please remember to PM me before you do so. As the price may vary depending on how far you are in the current cycle and what you want to upgrade to.

[Manitcor]

thanks to tommy72 for the first donation of the year of $20.

We closed out 2008 with a little over $300 which was still a couple hundred bucks short of our yearly costs. Help out MM and donate folks. Even $5 helps!

[NiftyMonte]

I think to give back I am going to donate half of the profit from the stb's I am selling (with exception to the first set which goes to my bro because he made them lol) I will put that on my thread. See ya soon in the special area!

Wow Nifty, that is very generous of you!

[Manitcor]

thanks to cully77 for his donation of $30 and to NiftyMonty for his contribution of $20. Sorry it took a little while to get to you guys. I bumped up your subscription end-dates to a year from now today to compensate.

That's a total of $70 for the year. Hopefully we can get some more help folks, this doesn't even cover the yearly costs for the software, let alone the hosting.

Wow. IPS must have upped their licensing fee. Can't you still purchase a lifetime license?

It covers the forum, not the other stuff like the gallery.

Might do a lifetime, don't know if it's still available though. Money is tight right now and I am still in the hole with the site in general due to calendars and a failed national event.
