R-GT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi, What about a very small % of sales, donations and say like a $15.00 membership fee for all. In the scheme of things its pretty cheap. regards, Todd Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453558-want-to-become-an-sau-contributor/page/2/#findComment-7474953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strick. Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Id prefer to pay a bit more membership each year, and a percentage goes towards up keep of the forum (thought that was actually already part of it!!) On a side note, if you can get rid of all the spam posts, the forum will be better for it. Others forums dont seem to have as much spam as this one, is there a weak spot in forum registering?

On a side note, if you can get rid of all the spam posts, the forum will be better for it. Others forums dont seem to have as much spam as this one, is there a weak spot in forum registering? Some other forums I've been on require you to have an email address linked to an account that requires proof of identity, so addresses through telstra, optus, etc. They don't allow hotmail, gmail, etc. This pretty much eliminates the spam, but also drastically cuts down member numbers and the amount of help you can get in the tech sections. What about having fund raising cruises. Even if it's only once a year and people just chuck in $5. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453558-want-to-become-an-sau-contributor/page/2/#findComment-7475505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the scheme of things its pretty cheap. regards, Todd While a $15 fee might not seem like much, it may drastically reduce future growth of the site. For example, someone who purchased a skyline and then has questions can currently jump on here for free and ask questions. If they have to pay $15 upfront a large portion of them will just go to other forums where they don't have to pay. Sure, we all know that it's hard to find a better source of info than here, but someone just getting into skylines won't know that. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453558-want-to-become-an-sau-contributor/page/2/#findComment-7475507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PranK Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 What about donations? No can do. We need to be a registered not-for-profit, which we're not. So, ultimately as long as the 'buyer' is getting 'something' (even a tag under their name) and receive a tax invoice then they're not donations. Id prefer to pay a bit more membership each year, and a percentage goes towards up keep of the forum (thought that was actually already part of it!!) On a side note, if you can get rid of all the spam posts, the forum will be better for it. Others forums dont seem to have as much spam as this one, is there a weak spot in forum registering? We pay two external spam services to check registrations. Check this link to get an indication of how much spam is kept out. This is def a priority though and we may need to bring on another service or have a one-week moderation period.

niZmO_Man Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Aww okay. Not an 'official' donations so to speak. I suppose this site is too large to do something like that anyway.

luke gtr Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yes. Have donated (as my tag suggests). Would do so again. And everyone's jealous of my posting ability. Even the auto systems kicked in when I was posting a fair bit to make sure I was "a human ".

luke gtr Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Oh, maybe different tags for different amounts. So everyone knows if you're a stingy bastard(like I was/am) or a high roller.
