Not sure about the Kickstarter thing, but I've actually thought about creating a "membership system" quite a bit - just haven't gotten around to identifying exactly what it would entail, and then coding it. It will all have to be hand-written code... Will definitely revisit this soon.

In my local table top war gaming group we are talking about this. Restricting access to discussion areas, uploading photos, and such. Hard to balance out. My only suggestion is the more you restrict, the lower the fee should be. Ok my second suggestion is to keep promoting donations.

Please take a moment to consider donating to help VGOF cover its operating costs

Our goal is $1,400 (which would cover the web hosting yearly fee)

We have collected $495 at this time (35% of the goal). Please chip in to assist, if you can.

Chipped in. Worthy cause.

Not crazy about using my credit card on PayPal, though. Don't trust'em.

There's another option below the Paypal links where you could use your credit card directly through our online p ayment processor (authorize.net) instead of paypal.

Thanks for helping out!!

Just paid the invoice for VGOF web services for the upcoming year ($1,429). We're still $694 below our goal, all of which comes out of my own pocket. Sure would appreciate if a few more folks would step up with any donation to assist.

I sent all I could afford for now. I went way overboard during all the panic buying to send more than I could afford to all the people in my sig. Next will be the VCDL, but it just isn't coming in.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get you a lower rate.

awww, Frank. I appreciate your sentiment. I hate to even ask for support from the great community that we've put together here at VGOF. I hate even more to "drive it into the ground", which I feel like I have.

Wish I could do more, but I had some big purchases recently so I have to pace myself... I am glad you got something coming in though. *hugs*

I would if I could, but job loss and no income makes it difficult.

I can help in any other way.
