I'm not sure about the badges for CotM and Patrons, i'm actually thinking about swapping the current Patron badge and use it for CotM since that one looks more like an award and use something else for the Patrons.


What does the collective think?

Happy to earn my badge. Best $25 you can spend.

Swap of COTM for Patron really doesn't matter to me but I have to agree the patron badge does look more like an award of some sort.

I don't think I've done anything to deserve an award. Just happy to be able to help keep the lights on. This is great forum and a great on-line community, let's do what we can to keep it that way.

Thanks Andy beerchug.gif Thanks to all the moderators!

Actually, the badge made me feel a little guilty for not contributing for 5 years. You'll be on the payroll from now on!
Mikey914
I think it's a good way to show who supports the community, it's a small token, but yes I help keep the lights in. Anyone who spends any real time here will easily recoup the value. Just to have a non commercial space to turn to for questions and answers is huge.

Switch em!! And as a first year member, the 25 bucks was well spent in just meeting many of our members in person at the WCR. Let alone the information treasure trove and ability to learn. So thank you for having this site.

I’m digging the new badge - hand holding the world!

So does it disappear when not paid up every year? It would be an easy reminder.... biggrin.gif

Andy,

How do you tie the badges to the paypal payments? I am just curious as mine doesn't show..

@mb911

Manually the old fashion way which is why there's still a backlog and i also have a few donations where i can't match them to a forum user.

It will take a few more days to work through all of this ...

Sorry, it took me a while to find the right link though...

Should there be a "contribute button" in the upper right, something like the ones for Help, Search, etc.?

And maybe include a short paragraph on the history of the site, its intent, and how it's managed/maintained...or add this info into the "Welcome to 914World.com" page at the top of the FAQs?

Just a thought.

THANKS!

I know I have donated in the past, I need to donate again; best entertainment and stress relief $25 can buy. Is there and easy link? beerchug.gif
