Attention BP members, it’s time to pass the hat again! Please, keep your donations to $15 max so that others can have a chance to donate as well. We are going strong, adding new members almost every day. And no doubt you are all happy to not have ads for snow tires or weight-loss pills flying in to intrude on your reading. This forum is free because those ads pay the rent. But when we choose to be ad-free, the ad revenue that supports Proboards has to be made up by us paying a small charge based on page views each month.
Since we have to pay for the ad-free status, the donation button was re-activated. Ad-free charges have been running just over $20 per month. Again, please keep your donations to $15 max so that others can have a chance to donate as well.
There is a yellow "Donate" button on the top and bottom of the page that only shows up in desktop mode. Donations go directly into a Paypal account (Backpacker Ad Free, a false business set up expressly for this), and our Financial Officer makes the monthly payments. When we have somewhere around a year's worth again, we'll hide the button.
Please PM zeke if you wish to send a check. He will provide an address to you.

Couldn't we just sign up a live edge table company as a sponsor?

It's not working for me--I get the donate page, but the amount is $0 and there's no way for me to change it.

I love the fundraising efforts that put a maximum donation amount limit.
If only other organizations would do the same.

Try as I might, I can’t find a yellow donation button. Suggestions? It only shows in desktop mode. For some reason it isn’t visible in the mobile version. You can switch to desktop, even on your phone, by scrolling to the bottom of the page, where there should be a link to click for it. |
