Supporting VWWatercooled

[Golf Loon]

This all came about to cover costs such as VBulletin upgrades and hosting, which are increasing as the forum grows exponentially.

I am happy to kick in $25 as an appreciation of the work that Admin, mostly Aaron puts in and the endless hours of work that go into keeping this place running.

At 6,715 Posts, I think your membership fee should be about $100,000

Just on this thread (I notice it's quite old)...

I'm happy to pay $25 to help contribute to the site as I get a lot out of the forum in the way of laughs and advice even though I don't post much. I've found the majority of contributors on here to be decent and reasonable people as opposed to some forums where there are some complete nutters who need to take an anti-rage pill.

With regards to the email address you get I have a few questions:

1) Is it your forum username that's used or can you choose any name?
2) Can you access the email from a mail client via POP or IMAP or is it webmail based only?

I was disappointed to renew my yearly contribution earlier this week, today I see advertising for Westfied malls. I understand the need for contributions and advertising from Sponsors, but seeing a generic banner add made me question why I renewed my contribution.

The forum probably runs Google Adsense which runs its ads off search habits and remarketing.

VWW probably only gets like $1 per click if that.

Download Adblock Plus, it will remove most online ad banners.

You can have anything you want for your email as long as it's available. It supports POP, IMAP as well as webmail.

I understand the concern and it's something that is being addressed. Those ads are disappearing to be replaced with real sponsors.

I wish we got $1! I'd be clicking on those ads all day then retiring!

I'm glad you're getting something out of the community.

Any chance you could give the supporters (will be soon) the ability to post unlimited pictures in a thread over the current 20?

[The_Hawk]

That limit is a global and can't be changed for a single usergroup... that said I might consider increasing it for everyone, although wouldn't want to make it unlimited.

Can the stickers be purchased on their own? not particularly interested in a larger PM box, or email address.

[Candyman]

I did recently buy a years supporter status - how is the sticker organized ?

Yep, stickers are all available separately: Merchandise | VWWatercooled Australia

You should have received an email with all the relevant details, although with the Nationals weekend and all the lead up activities I'm running about a week behind in processing but should get back on top of everything in the next 24 hours or so. If you are concerned just send me an email or PM and I can confirm.
