You can support TST by donating and becoming a Supporting Member with forum benefits
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have enabled the option to donate to the forum. TST will always remain completely free for its members to use and make the most of, but since some members have requested the option to donate I wanted to make it available for those who feel that they benefit from having the forum and want to show their appreciation.

There are a few subscription options available as well as a one-time donation option. The subscription options carry added forum benefits like:
-no Google ads
-added PM storage
-greater attachment capacity
-more garage gallery space
-larger avatar size
-custom user title
-sweet-ass color-coded "Supporting Member" Badge under your username, like so:

You can find the "Membership Upgrade" link at the top of the page in the blue navigation bar, or you can find the donation page by clicking on User CP and scrolling down to the bottom left and clicking on Paid Subscriptions.
Or you can just click here: http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/payments.php

Let me know what you think of the current setup and if there is anything you'd like to see changed regarding the donations/subscriptions in the future.
Thanks for ALL of your support and dedication to the forum (and I mean non-monetary).
Bryan

if you throw in sig pics you may get a good amount of donations...

namdoogwerdna 02-12-2008 11:01 PM

Yeah but sig pics would have to have some serious size restrictions

~Brian~ 02-12-2008 11:27 PM

+1 on the sig pics.

How much would I have to donate?

ozthunder 02-12-2008 11:29 PM

Size restrictions can be done, every forum that i've been on that's had them has had restrictions.

Willdue 02-12-2008 11:31 PM

Whats the min donation?

TROLL 02-13-2008 01:12 AM

if viewing sig pics was optional i'd be down for working something out but i have yet to find a way to allow members to turn off all sig pics if they want. i'll keep looking...

and if you go to the donation page linked in the first post you can read a description of each option and the donation amounts are listed next to it, which are either $1, $3, or $5 per month, or you can just do a one time donation if you prefer to do that.

ozthunder 02-13-2008 01:16 AM

What about the one pic a page option?

Ender81 02-13-2008 09:03 AM

I like this, having the extra pm space would be a godsend while I'm setting up a run.

**EDIT**
Signed up

Is there any chance we can expand the size of our avatars? I have a few good gifs that I would like to use, but the size limit is just too small in a few cases.

Ender81 02-13-2008 01:22 PM

There should be something else to seperate the levels. I know some places offer a decal, shirt , or instead of something free maybe a discount in the TST store if you are a Gold member etc..

namdoogwerdna 02-13-2008 10:51 PM

I like that idea

TurboTagTeam 02-13-2008 11:43 PM

I signed up. I'm sick of my PM box filling up so often.

sleepersatty99 02-14-2008 11:21 AM

so can pay you in person if we wanted too? also i know the money is going to support the site. but could it als be used to for other things like if we as a site entered car shows would that be used for entry fees? im trying to get a few shows set up for the season and a few other things too.

That's kind of a slippery slope though. There are a lot of people on here that spend their own money to set up things and do them for the site. I doubt there would be enough to go around you know.



Troll I've got it, the ultimate benefit. Sign up for gold and the damn ads go away. That's where the idea of paying for a membership here came from anyway so why not.

Bryan, if you allow us to have larger avatars, I will be more than happy to support the site! :)

TROLL 02-19-2008 02:24 PM

Current Avatar limits aer 180x180 and 40k max size. I cant increase the 180x180 but I could increase the 40k limit if thats what you're looking for... let me know.

Ender81 02-19-2008 02:45 PM

*COUGH*ADS*COUGH* :thumbup:





:mrgreen: I kid I kid....unless you get rid of them for gold members in which I was only kidding so much.

TROLL 02-19-2008 02:46 PM

sorry yeah i'm going to look into the logistics of that one as well...

but wait you already sold your soul, no more bargaining from you hahaha :)

Ender81 02-19-2008 02:56 PM

ROFLMAO damn I knew I jumped too quick (although you notice I only said gold members hahaha). Thanks for looking into it, I think it would be an awesome perk.
