*DONATION DRIVE 2023* Server Renewal Season is HERE! Help a/RED!

hello everyone.
I meant to have this up at the start of the month/new year to leave enough time for funds to be collected, but life and school got in the way, so hopefully it's enough.

2 years ago, you lovely people came thru and helped to fund the server for our forum for 24 months. the time we have left from that is ending, so we're back to our regularly scheduled programming. if you can donate anything, it'll go entirely towards funding the server again for either 1 or 2 years, depending on the total.

it makes more sense for us to 'upgrade' the server package, since it would be cheaper than retaining our current one by quite a couple hundred bucks. our current server would come out to 1400 for 2 years, vs the upgrade below, which costs actually a bit less than last time around for the time period.

Image

so for 1 year of server cost, it comes out to $359.88, and 2 years comes out to $719.76. just like last time, I'm setting up a goal for the whole amount. we have more than a month and a half to get there. hopefully we can make it :)

if we do, aRED will be around for however long y'all choose to fund it. if we don't reach our goals, any amount donated will be returned to you via PayPal.


Image

Image

Donation buttons are on the index page. Please give if you can, if you want to see us stick around.

all those who donate will get a spiffy new Rank (VIP '23) with a new rank image. As you know, I don't particularly care to hoard features from one part of the population, so y'all have everything I could already give you on here in terms of customization. as such, I hope this small recognition won't be a problem for y'all.

thank you again for helping out <3

any questions or concerns or if you try to donate and it doesn't let you or if you run into any kind of problem, hit me up here or on PM. I'll be around.

Where is the donate button? Maybe you are still working into it. But as soon as I see it, I will donate!

I guess the extension makers removed some of the Donate buttons across the forum. Used to be all over the place, now it's just in the Index page for some reason.

Donation is up and running, however.

I’ve looked everywhere on posts & on the index page for the donate button & I can’t find it 🙃😂 when I click on the ‘donation’ part of the index page with the percentage on it, it says I’m not authorised to access it. I will donate as soon as I can find where it is!

& it auto-added you to the new rank and group automatically! huzzah for less manual work automation <3

also, the fees paid out to PayPal with each donation (cents in this case, but still) are automatically tabulated on our total, so we won't have any issues with the overall amount.

IF YOU DONATE BUT DON'T GET THE VIP '23 RANK/LIPS IMAGE AFTERWARDS, PM SO I CAN DO IT MANUALLY.
It's working fine now, but there's always a user or two where it doesn't update on its own. hit me up if that's the case :kiss:

going back to work now cause I've spent most of the morning on this lol thanks everyone again!

thanks to everyone who has donated so far!
we're almost halfway there already in under 24 hours, which is insane!

we'll have the one year of funding almost guaranteed very soon, I think, so thank you for helping us stick around <3
