Discussion about Ricoh GR Digital II

Thanks to all donors for supporting this forum!

Postby odklizec » Sun Jan 31, 2010 11:37 pm

When I started this forum in summer 2007, I never even thought about turning it into a profitable business. I personally hate websites full of blinking banners or google ads. The banners in the forum header are the only compromise from my policy of ad-free forum ;) But these partners are carefully selected companies who help me to cover the monthly contests with some nice and useful prizes. This is why I really appreciate all donations made by fellow forum members!

I would like to publicly thank all who submitted their donations to this forum!

Hi folks,

During yesterday, some of you asked me where to make a donation. The PayPal donation interface is well "hidden" at bottom of the Portal page:
portal.php
Just scroll down at bottom of this page and you will find it ;)

Thank you for considering the donation! All donors will be rewarded with special forum rank "Site Supporter", storage for 500 PM messages instead of just 100 and in future, unlimited upload area in planned Photo Gallery mod for this forum.

Pavel,

I would like to also thank you in return for the donation of your time and support to the forum.
I for one will try to make a regular donation rather than a one off and as I suspect Pavel is too polite, I'd like to suggest that members consider a donation and if possible a regular donation also as I am sure the costs are ongoing.

All the best.
Tim

Hi Tim,

Thank you very much for your kind words and considering another donation! When I added the paypal donation, I considered also the possibility of perpetual membership. But I found "forced" perpetual donations too obtrusive for people. So now it's up to everyone's will and that's how it should be ;) Thank you!

Hi folks,

Early this week, someone with email starting with "wigelspigels" sent me a donation. Whoever you are, thank you very much! ;) Unfortunately, I cannot link your name/email registered at PayPal with name and email registered here. I tried to contact you via your paypal email, but no reply yet. So I'm not quite sure if you read your paypal email? If you are reading this post, please contact me via PM. Thanks!

Just donated a small amount :)
I did not even know you are taking donations. I think you should move paypal donation from bottom to top inline with advertisement buttons...I had to spend few mins to find out how to donate :D

Hi sagar,

Thank you very much! I just returned from visiting my parents where I was too busy to even think about reading forum and emails. I will change your status and status of another member who donated the same day as you (if I find who this second donor is ;) ).

As for the location of PayPal button, well, I just don't want to make it too obtrusive. Take it as a little "hide and seek" game ;)

I really appreciate the attitude of odklizec. It is very difficult to find people like him in the modern world. Nowadays when everyone is running after money here is a Good Samaritan who is promoting an ad-free forum. In fact his attitude has inspired me and I have decided to donate whatever money I can to support the forum. I will be telling my friends also to donate as much as they can. I would like to know how the donations can be made.

Well said, and I echo your sentiment. :D
If you go to the Portal page here http://ricohforum.com/phpbb/portal.php you will see a Paypal donation link at the bottom. Easy and quick.
I for one will be making a regular donation. I am thinking around Christmas will be a good reminder each year!
Tim

Hi Kinley and welcome on the board! Thank you for your kind words! You know, I simply hate the web sites full of ads so there is no way RicohForum will ever turn to ad-powered website ;) I'm really happy about the friendly community we have here and this means more to me than money!

If you wish to make a donation, just go to the main (Portal) page, scroll down at the very bottom of the page and here you can find PayPal donation button. Thank you in advance for any donation you will made!
