Ladies and gents. Here are the contents of http://www.acuramdx.org/contribute.php :
In the past few days a few people offered to donate money to benefit the site. I thought long and hard about this and decided to give it a try and allow folks to donate $$$ through paypal into an ACURAMDX.ORG Fund. How will the money be used? Well, there are many things that have been on my to-do list for quite a while, but unfortunately cost money. These things are:
1. Finally moving to a new and dedicated server. This will solve our daily "too many connections" problem.
2. I'd like to hire a designer to give the site a brand new look and feel.
3. I'd like to hire a designer to create nice looking t-shirts and other merchandise.
4. I have been eyeing this nice Armani suite for some time :) . Sorry, couldn't resist.
If you have any other ideas, do not hesitate to post them on the board.
Now, giving money without some immediate gratification is, well, boring. So all contributors will receive:
* You own acuramdx.org web page. That's right, a little piece of real estate on our site. This is your chance to show off your HTML! Don't know HTML? This is your chance to learn! The link to your page will be shown beside your screen name, wherever your screen name is displayed.
* You own @acuramdx.org webmail. You are correct, you will be able to have @acuramdx.org email, and using webmail integrated into our forums, you'll be able to send/receive using your brand new email address.
* You will be marked as a Contributor by a special icon, displayed wherever your screen name is displayed:
* I will try to think of some other perks. And as always, I'm open to ideas.

| Here's a suggestion: Forget Armani. He's so out this season. |

Why not ask members of this board for help designing t-shirts and the site for free? I would be happy to help where I can.
Are you looking for new design ideas or an implementation of one you already have (colors, images, redesigned logo, etc)? |

Hi Daniel,
Are the custom pages activated yet? When I click on mine in the control panel I get this message:
acuramdx.org Message
To be able to use custom pages, you must be a contributing member. To make a donation, please go to contributions page. If you feel this message is incorrect, contact the admin.
Just curious. Thanks. :D |
|

| admin |
| A mistake on my part. Everyone's (contributors only) custom pages should now be activated. |

I would be happy to contribute once I (if I ever) get my PayPal account straightened out (they do not return emails) or if you want to bother with a traditional check (if so, please let me know address, etc).
Is there a recommended amount that would allow me to have an avatar? In other words, can we buy points? Isn't this getting rather crass? |

:19: If you don't mind an annoying avatar skating in one place for I will sell you mine:cool: (I would have thought by now he would get tired but he is still at full stride after all this time) |

Hi Robrecht:
___As soon as you reach 350 points; I will give you mine if you want them. The last time I looked, an Avatar swap costs 1000 points?
___Good Luck

| What's going on now that quite a few contributions have been made to the cause? Have any of the plans been implemented yet? I've been gone a few weeks and would appreciate an update. |

| Ditto can you let us know how it is going.:4: |

Ah, yes! I'm actually getting a dedicated server sometime in December, when I have more free time to work on it. As far as contributions go, it will be 50/50, that is 50% of the cost will be covered by the contributions, 50% by yours trully.
Again, thank you all who constributed!
Regards,
admin. |

| Just an FYI, that I will be probably moving us to a new server. Stay tuned for a more detailed announcement. |

Can you make the  thingy optional for those of us whom have contributed please? Personally I don't like being slapped such a label everywhere. Maybe you can place it on our profile page instead.
Thanx! |

| I'll see what I can do. |

Dan
Just made a small contribution. I sent you an email on the details and my identity that is different on PayPal.
My wife insists that I make a point - that this donation is from our 11mth old son who loves his MDX too! (Jokes apart!!)
Let's all make this happen ! And may the Armani suit reach Dan before it catches dust at the showroom.
Yo!
Cheers. |

Remember, another way to contribute is to visit (click) on the ads.
Thanks again,
