Axis & Allies.org 2010 Support Drive

I also get royalties and referral fees for the t-shirts and stickers that you see advertised on the main site.

But I don’t really want to charge for anything else. Advertising and the support drive will be enough. Thanks for brainstorming though. I really appreciate the enthusiasm!

@Gargantua:

So we still need another $700 this year, to cover everything, and have chump change for next year.

Time to start beating the drum then, I’ll see what I can do.

As for revenue’s, other than donations - and limited advertising, what medium’s does this site have for raising money?  It doesn’t really sell products….  ???

Idea: Should we run a 50/50 style tourny?  $10 via paypal gets you in?  If we get 20 in the tourny, that’s $100 for the winner and $100 for the site.

Oh, I forgot that I would like to hire a visual web designer to redo the look and feel of the site.

I can create any look you need, except you will need a guy to do the programing bit. That might defer the costs a little.

Somebody named Kurt R. sent $50 to be a Gold Patron but did not provide their username on the forums. Also, you email provider won’t let me send you an email from @axisandallies.org.

Can Kurt please send me an email. If I do not receive some sort of notification within 5 days, I’m going to assume it is a fruad and refund the $50.

Since your email is listed as ‘hidden’ under your profile I’ll post here.  My email address is [removed by admin] - I had my old email address under my paypal account which is fixed now.

[Gargantua]

Way to be a hero Kurt.

Now you are one of us :)

Thank you to everybody who participated in the 2010 Support Drive!

Just to make sure my english doesn’t fail me : Do you mean I should wait buying patron support because 2010 is off and 2011 not yet started?
In clear : Is “2010 Support Drive” is same thing as “Patron 2010 Support level”?

I would like to help supporting this site, since it provided me so many answers (special thanks to Krieghund) and hours of fun with new players (and play style).

[djensen]

Nope, the 2010 Support Drive is still on. I’ll start 2011 in July. We’ll be back on a “normal” calendar schedule for 2012, starting in January 2012.

[Guest]

Well count me in for the upcoming year and more after as well.

[TheDefinitiveS]

Any update on the 2010 supporters list and when will the 2011 support drive start? No pressure, Im just being curious.
Cheers TDS.

[BigBadBruce]

Seems we’ll skip 2011… and perhaps have 2012 starts early.

Oh! and another question just hit me… what is the “2007 AAR” banner for? Is it (old) past banner that I can’t participate in anymore?

[Imperious Leader]

ditto

[TheDefinitiveS]

Any update on 2011/2012 support level thingy mah jig.

[Tall Paul]

Imperious Leader(or whomever),

I’d be glad to contribute $50.00 to the 2012 fund drive as a gold patron member.  I get many times that amount of enjoyment and information from this forum.  Thanks Again.

2007 was the first year of league play, so yes it’s a little late to participate now.  I don’t think we could have a hundred banners or so, it would get cluttered, which might explain why there was no 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 banners for league play.

@BigBadBruce:

I would have, like I said previously. But with Cmdr Jennifer as moderator you can count me out. No way I’m gonna put my money in while she’s moderator.

Not sure what your boggle is.  You quit in a huff even after I gave you everything you wanted.  /shrug.

I’ll contribute myself in 2012, but don’t want a banner.  Moderators should contribute and I don’t think should be bannered for doing what is expected.
