Repped for being a bastard :up:

Thing is £1000+ raised in 2 days is great and bodes well for getting £2500 annually, as people will be recurring donators.

Indeed.

Like, £1.27 every two weeks. :up:

Good luck. £10.00 sent by paypal - I think that donations will roll in if the appeal is in a prominent place - I didn't notice the paypal connection yesterday


Good idea mendesstormer :up:

To be honest, this site takes far too much time that should be dedicated to my degree however a donation has been made. Long Live SpursCommunity!

 

[milkman]

50% reached now! we will easily make £2500!

i dunno i think we have probably hit a wall now with those of us who will donate allready have

oh well you will get another from me come pay day

Is this on the Front Page yet guys? It seems silly not to advertise it there. I know from experience that there are some very loyal posters on here who simply don't venture into the forums.

To any Mods:
Right. I've made my donation now. Happy to donate again if you need a top up to reach the £2500 figure. I really think you should put an announcement in a prominent position on the front page, though. Plenty of regular users don't explore all areas of the site. I check SC practically every day and today is the first time I've picked up on this issue. Also had never noticed the 'donations' button on the toolbar - altho maybe I used it last time you asked for funds, but had forgotten. Plus, I had to trawl through lots of messages to find out what was going on, and then still had to send a message to find out how to donate. It's all too subtle and I think a lot of people would be put off donating. Put a sticky at the top of the Front Page and the Chat page, and put in a very clear explanation of how to donate. That's my suggestion anyhow.

The donations button the toolbar is new. We've now got the donation stuff on the front page below the left menu so will be posting a message shortly explaining everything

Thanks to everyone who's donated so far and if anyone needs an address for a cheque, give a shout and one of the mods (probably A&C or Andy) will let you know.

I should also add you don't need a paypal account to donate via paypal using a credit or debit card, you just pay as you would online normally.

I'm just waiting for some $ to transfer from my bank a/c to my shiny new paypal a/c so I can make a donation too. Apparantly it takes 3/5 business days and I made the transfer yesterday.

The donate using cc option didn't work for me after trying two different cards. It couldn't verify my card number both times. Could it be the donate option only works for UK based cards?
