Help keep Mazda3Forums.com running by donating to it. I would like to make it clear that this is not in any way mandatory, and that Mazda3Forums.com is in no imminent danger of being shut down. At this point, it is simply a preventative measure.

This site is growing at a pace that was never expected or anticipated, and because of that costs associated with running it will soon start to increase. To give you an idea of the anticipated demand, it was expected that we would run completely free for a minimum of 6 months.

Any and all money donated will be used to benefit this site.

Thankyou for your time, effort, and money.
A PayPal donation button has been added to the top of the site.

Just out of curiousity, who is paying for it right now?

And how much are you wanting people to donate per person?

I'm more than willing to help.

 

[dinu01]

Same here.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

I pay for it out of pocket right now. There is no financial backing from anywhere else.

Right now I set the donation amount at $10 USD... I might change that to a variable amount... we'll see what people want / etc.

Any suggestions, just tell me.

 

[dinu01]

Is there any other way besides PayPal?

 

[schulkw]

That sounds reasonable.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Is there any other way besides PayPal?

Sure... paypal just seemed the easiest to me.

What would you like?

 

[dinu01]

Don't worry. I got PayPal now and I'll make a donation next wk

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

The donation amount is now variable.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Anyone that tries this, please PM me just to confirm.

 

[atl]

Well if you make me a Mod I can donate $50 bucks or more...

 

[schulkw]

Well if you make me a Mod I can donate $50 bucks or more...

I'll give $100.

lol ;-)

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Bidding starts at $100! J/K

For those of you that have submitted CC payments, I haven't actually had them processed yet... I'm trying to decide on some financials with that.

Now that I'm getting more into this, I must HIGHLY recommend that you use paypal payment accounts if you have them (or bank transfers through paypal... in other words, anything but CC), and not CC. If you do use CC, that's not a problem, but I must pay fees on that.

 

[dinu01]

I tried PayPal today for $10 USD. Did you get it?

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Yes sir... that's what made me make the above statement... it was a CC payment for $10

It will b e concluded shortly.

 

[schulkw]

So if pay $10 via a CC, do you have to pay to get that $10 or do they take the fee out of the $10?

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

They take about 3% out.
