Donations / Account Upgrades

**JCirri** · Joined: 04 Feb 2006 Posts: 4576

A store has been added to the site where I am now accepting donations, and where you can finally spent the contribution points you've been collecting.

Donations will earn you contribution points based on your amount which is explained on the Store page. You don't need a PayPal account to donate, I accept most credit cards as well. I would greatly appreciate any donations you could make for my efforts spent on the site to help me cover the monthly server/bandwidth costs.

For now, there is only one upgrade available to increase your score limit from a maximum of 3 scores per song to a higher value. There is no limit on how high you can upgrade it, but the cost goes up with each upgrade.

Feel free to either upgrade now, or to save your points and wait for future upgrades which will be available. However, all upgrades are non-reversible so plan accordingly.

I'll listen here for suggestions to add to the Store. Also if you have trouble making a donation for any reason let me know. Thanks.

I'm aware that the menu of links is now even larger and I really need to condense it. This will be my priority when I wake up.

You know, not to be hating on the new store or anything, but ES is right.

What is the purpose of having 5 scores uploaded at once?

I suppose it is really for showing a more accurately the time periods when you submitted and tracing back to where you first submitted instead of over-writting them so you can see the progress you made since your earliest submission.

Ah...good point.

I suppose that makes sense...

The advantage is being able to see your history of improvement as Maximus said. For example, take a look at my Cowboys From Hell history. I find it fascinating to look back at my old scores and see how fast (or slow) I improved.

I've added a display to the Store page showing the total donations received and number of donators to share this information with everyone and recognize those who contribute by donations.

Thanks to those who have already made donations.

Are there any other ways to send a donation? Money Order or Cashier's Check, specifically? I'm stillr ecovering from bad choices I made in the past and as of yet can't get a c.c. or even a checking account. Might be a bit before I could send one out, though, still kinda tight on the money end right now.

No, thank you for being able to make an exception in my case, just wish I knew when we'd be stable enough so that I could fire off an MO to ya.
