New "Donate" button - Donations Gratefully Accepted

I've had a couple of different people suggest that I add a "Donate" button to the VGOF site, so there it is at the very top left corner of the site.

If you feel so inclined, please feel free to click. There are specific Sponsor levels defined, or you can select an amount of your choosing, which will be used to offset hosting and development costs here at VGOF.

At some point, I plan to tie in the Sponsor levels with badge or icon that will show up in your profile and next to your username in posts to show that you are a supporter of the site. However, that hasn't yet been implemented.

Credit card processing is handled by the same company (Authorize.net) that processes transactions for our online stores at http://all-in-general.com and http://maglitesales.com.

I appreciate everyone's support and look forward to running this forum for a long time into the future.

Best Regards,
Rick

I always get in trouble for asking, but do you also take paypal?

I sell my wife's stuff on e-bay for "fun money".

You can send donations to paypal address rick@allin-enterprises.com. Please be sure to include "VGOF Donation" and your forum User Name in the checkout comment so that I will know who to thank.

Thanks for the responses. Hopefully, I'll get the badges integrated soon.

I have the badges set up - Please see zephyp's posts to see how it looks. There are four (4) levels at this time.

$10.00 - Bronze Supporter

$25.00 - Silver Supporter
Image
$50.00 - Gold Supporter
Image
$100.00 - Platinum Supporter

Or you can choose a different amount of your own.

After the transaction, you will receive an email receipt from Authorize.net. Please note that these donations are not deductible for income tax reporting purposes.

Thank you all for your support!
