    I recently donated to the site through the PayPal button, just to say thanks for how far I've come with the help of the info on here. Is that all it takes to go to "Contributor" status? How do I initiate the change?

    Thanks

    To piggyback: if I become a contributor, will these crappy new ads in the first post on each page go away?

    SynixMan, Flash and other accounts updated, thanks!

    And yes, for those that donate, the ads disappear.

    And how exactly do we know that this is going towards the website vs what is in your avatar? ;)

    You don't, that is the beauty of it. Plus I have to make up for all those years I ran this website in the "red" that my wife reminds me about. Trust me, I won't be living off the ill gotten gains or proceeds from this website anytime soon. This isn't military.com you know! :)

    Well, you are making the big bucks now as a hinge so why is she still complaining? Oh wait, nevermind.......

    I certainly hope that our donations are not going into those money pits! :eek:

    Sounds good.






    But... I was secretly hoping of putting a twenty in an envelope and leaving it under a bench where A4s could pick it up. Of course I wouldn't stay behind to take photographs or anything. :D

    Do we need to donate a certain amount in order to become a Contributor? I donated a few weeks ago, so I wasn't sure. *shrug*

    Just keep donating till the contributor icon shows up. Then you'll know you donated enough.

    Haha! I'm the first female stud to report to TW-2 in 7 months, and so when a sim instructor asked me how I got here when he saw me in his ground school class, I shrugged my shoulders and told him I guess I just slipped through the cracks ;)
