2011 Gold Patron - Support AAA.org

From what I understand, the support drive lasted only a few months and the next one would start up later. Personally, I think these support badges should be available year round and renewable at the beginning of each year.

They should stack up so you can see all the years each person has contributed.

Ya, like a star for each year.

I’d be more than happy to contribute $50.00 as a gold patron member.  I get many times that amount of enjoyment and information from this forum.  Thanks Again.

Everyone,                                                              December 2, 2011

Since I haven’t heard anything on this subject I went ahead tonight and paid my $50 for Gold Patron Support.  I feel I get MUCH MORE knowledge/FUN out of this forum than this small contributing amount.

I was updating something else and figured I’d get things in place for the 2011 drive. The badges will stack.

More on this later.

Is there a 2012 Fund Drive going on yet? If so, I’m ready to Donate at Gold level, again. I very much enjoy this forum.

Hi, the answer was here :

@djensen:

We will be running our second end of the year support drive to assist with paying for the costs and time for maintaining as well as upgrading the website and forums. I will run this one from December to January. In February, we will start the 2012 Support Drive, which will run through December 2012.

Thanks, I appreciate the update.

They should certainly stack up which means you can see each of the many years each and every somebody has contributed

Is the 2012 fund drive “happening” yet? I think February has come and gone already.

Shame!

?

I will switch it over before the FMGC2012 this weekend.

I needed to make the new badges first.

They are available year round.  Feel free to contribute 24/7/365!

Hmm.  If someone were to purchase one Gold Patron support every hour for a full year, that would work out to 24 x 7 x 365 x $50 = $3,066,000.  Just think of all the anti-spammer software djensen could buy with that!

For that I could quite my job and work on this full time.  :-D

The down side is that a stack of 61,320 badges, each 4mm in height (as measured on my screen), would be over 245 meters tall.  That would be rather wasteful of screen space – not to mention egocentric on the part of whoever had that kind of money to throw around.
