New, slightly smaller goal. Letās top the 2016 record of 90! Only 8 to go.
Current patrons: 84 + 1
Welcome to the 2019 Axis & Allies .org support drive. We hope youāre enjoying the new forums! :confetti_ball:
We do understand thatās itās not perfect yet, but the new forums provide tons of new and useful features like mobile ready, chat, drafts for posts, better search, and more. On top of that weāre making changes and fixing problems every day to make it work exactly how you want.
Take a look at the migration to do list and the update log to see all the hard work that has happened and all of the tasks yet to do.
Hosting costs have gone up for the new forums. The monthly hosting bill is about 50% higher than previously. There are a few things I can clean up but that will likely only save $2-5/month.
Since we didnāt meet our goal for 2018, Google Ads will be turned back on for everybody for a few months. Then, we will transition to turning them off for Gold patrons.
This support drive will end on December 31, 2019 and the next one will begin in 2020.
Amount raised: $2622.50 ($2670.50 in 2018)
Number of 2019 unique patrons: 84 (88 in 2018, 90 in 2016)

@djensen
A Golden āThank Youā has been submitted by me a minute ago! :smiley:
And mine. Thank you.
Throwing my golden hat in the ring for this year. Thanks for busting your butt to get the new site set up.
Iāve likewise added a gold badge for 2019, along with an expression of my appreciation for this great A&A community resource.
On the behalf of Axis & Allies Club Danmark, I have bought Gold support.
Thank you for supporting the world greatest WW2 boardgame.
Kind Regards
Jonas
Assistant Manager

@SGT-Pitbull Thank you for your support!
@djensen sorry so late. winter heating bills killed me this year. thank you very much for the hard work. LOVE THIS GAME!!!
@dawgoneit And thank you for you support!
Iām adding a new benefit for this calendar year only, 2019 subscribers can get a data dump of their old PMs from the old site. I need 2-5 weeks to complete each request.
Actually, I think the first one will take me time but each one after that should be quicker.

@djensen Great news, thank you. Any place we can āregisterā for this service?
@djensen . Not sure what taht means, but sounds like a lot of work. Are you sure you should bother? I donāt need it, I am sure. Thank you fir the offer, however.

Thank you, sir. I only did the Bronze level so far, but the year is still young, so you never knowā¦:relaxed:
I think for 2019 we might do the big push for Patrons in mid-August to mid-October. The reason is that there are a bunch of expenses at the beginning of the year so Iād like to move the big support drive push to January-February instead of November-December. It makes cash flow easier to get most up-front.
@djensen what ever you need me to do just let me no.
The mid-year patron push has started and the goal isnāt monetary, itās 100 total patrons. The most weāve ever had in a year is 90 back in 2016. Last year we came close with 88. Letās get that 100 number!
Darn, looks like weāre going to get hit with another $16-20 per month for sending email. The legacy plan that I was on expires on Sep. 30 so now weāll have to start paying.
Wouldnāt be a problem if half the triple a players kicked in 10 bucks each.
@SS-GEN Well to be fair, donations here donāt go to supporting TripleA and its lobby/dice servers just the A&A website/forum. So I would encourage players to consider splitting their donation if they post a lot here but use TripleA and its servers as well. You can go to the TripleA website or forum to donate:
