3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I've been around for a pretty long time, and this is the first that I've had the opportunity to support AUFam financially. I've felt friendship, met kindred spirits, learned a lot about football, been moved by love and prayer, and been aggravated to no end!!! Thank you for all that you do to keep this site up and running. Let us know if there is a goal in mind and how close you are to it. 🙂 Merry Christmas and War Eagle! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for all that you do to keep this site up and running. Let us know if there is a goal in mind and how close you are to it. 🙂 Merry Christmas and War Eagle! Thank you for your support! To your question, we are thinking of doing this annually with a goal of $25,000 to offset operational costs. Anything beyond that will go directly back into the site. I’ll post a “scorecard” soon. Blown away by the initial generosity and commitment to this community. Again, thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia is the only other website that I give annually, for the same purpose. I may lurk/read far more than post, but this place has felt like a second home for the last eight years or so (I read the forums daily for a year or so before registering) and I can't thank everyone here enough for making it a bit easier being a die-hard Auburn fan in UCONN country and a land that doesn't 'get college football.' This is just for my own budgeting purposes, but I have a question if you know the answer and are able/feel comfortable to disclose this-- Based on the traffic the site gets, approximately what is the average 'ideal' donation per member per year that would keep this site financially secure without the need for ads? For example, Wikipedia has that little blurb about if each visitor only gave $2.75 (or something like that), they'd be set for X length. Obviously not even close to everyone gives so I toss them $20 per year. It’s somewhat hard to say because not every member is “active” - but if every registered member donated just $1 each year, we’d never have to serve another ad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count me in for an annual $20! In fact, I'll look at it as starting a new Christmas Eve tradition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,113 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) @RunInRed one thought from another (non-football) forum I am a part of. They run a similar format to one you just created. The forum is free to join and use. If you donate $15 (annually), you receive extra perks. For example, you get to customize your signature that appears at the bottom of each post, your user name is bolded and in green to signify you are a donor. You also receive more memory for PM’s. Just a thought to entice more donors. Edited December 25, 2020 by abw0004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
