    PriusChat Donations/Individual Sponsorships

    Many sites like PriusChat ask their members to donate funds to help offset the cost of running such a site. Hours of hardwork go into the creation and upkeep of PriusChat, not to mention the rising costs of bandwidth and storage space as we continue to grow in the future. However, I also believe that if you're going to donate your money to someone, then you should receive something in return. And so I welcome you to the 2004 PriusChat Donation Drive!

    Find all the details and make your donation on the Donation Page.

    Many questions about the 2004 PriusChat Fundraiser are answered there, such as:

    • What is it & where is my money going?

      What do I get in return?

      How do I donate & become a PriusChat Sponsor?
      [/b]


      • There are various levels of Sponsorship available and many goodies come with your support of PriusChat, such as a PriusChat window decal, T-Shirt, email address, & even a web hosting account at http://membername.priuschat.com with various software I can install for you!

        Every member will receive an upgraded forum account recognizing their contribution to PriusChat. It will look like:

        If you have any questions or comments, feel free to discuss it within this thread.

        <a href=\'http://priuschat.com/forums/donate.php\' target=\'_blank\'>Donate!</a>

        Thank you for your continued support of PriusChat!

    LOL, we thought we'd gone over all the ins and outs of this idea, and the very first question is one we hadn't considered!

    I bet Danny'll work out something for you.

    Yeah, we went over this plan for about 4 days and then it takes 4 minutes for a question to pop up we hadn't even thought of :)

    No, actually bandwidth isn't going to be an issue anymore - we just signed a contract for a dedicated server. That's why we're able to offer the hosting plans with the Platinum sponsor levels.

    Thank you, though, Drew, if that was an offer. :)

    And thanks to frbill for his Bronze sponsorship!

    Think of the sponsorships this way - being a PC Sponsor is less than $0.50/month, Bronze is a little over $2, Silver a little over $4, Gold a little over $6 a month, and Platinum is less than $8.50/month, plus you get a free email address, window decal, t-shirt, & web hosting and domain name!
