Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Read me! Donations, donor tags, and member input

Halx · 12-11-2006, 12:48 PM

This is an announcement.

Donor tags are coming back, but not in the same way they used to be. Yes, they will be a happy little marker under your name that lets everyone know that you are a contributing member. However, your previous donor status will be cleared off. If you donated in the past and had received a permissions boost because of it, that will disappear. All access will now be determined by actual board contribution.

Furthermore, I need donations. I have received two donations in the past 3 months. I don't really have a job.. I go to school.. I can't afford this. Please help me out. Click on the "Donate" option at the top of the forum and send me whatever you feel like sending. If you only have 5 bucks, its ok. If you feel like paying for my college tuition, thats also ok. I just need something so I can stop worrying if the hosting company is gonna cause me to overdraft.

So to wrap it all up, I'd like to get input from my members on what they'd like to see from the TFP. I'm talking about features, sections, events, interaction, periodicals, games.. whatever you can think of. I wanna hear it.

It takes a lot of time to run anything board related, but if I feel its worth the effort, I'll do my best. I think the TFP has been on the upswing lately. Activity has increased and contribution has gained in quality. Its like a real community again. I'm hoping to ride this little wave and do what I can to make it even more enjoyable for you all. Its very hard to compete with the new age of internet communication, with sites like YouTube, MySpace, and all those other hyper-social services availabile... you just cant get the same kind of touch with a message board. However, the one thing TFP has over all of them is the culture of mutual respect and maturity. Lets keep it up and make it better.

I also wanted to add one more thing. Refer this site to your friends. I know there is a lot of touchy subjects going on here and a lot of you treat this as your best kept secret, but this board thrives on communication. Post with honesty and conviction, and never be ashamed to share what you read and write with your friends and family. Show them the TFP as a little Christmas present.
