I will be setting up an account in the name of the GH on tuesday, once we've got that and a paypal account what we can do is give you the option of donating via paypal or direct donation to the GH bank account, we'll keep a detailed list of those donating and how much, when this all goes ahead we will keep things as transparent as possible, the last thing we want is you blokes thinking me and GE are spending you're donations on a nice meal and some wine
Im not a fan of club or subscriptions of any type, nor do i think publically stating how much you donate is a good idea. Ideally id like to keep it private and i am willing to look into ideas on what we can give back to the contributing members, my idea is a custume rank under your user name that indicates you're a donator... but thats just an idea
as GE state, we will not ever persue compulsary payment. Its purely voluntery, and the reason i think keeping donations private is a good idea is to avoid elitism... the last thing we want is people trying to one up themselves against others or having how much people have or have not donated used against them.
Some people might donate more then others, thats their choice based on their financial situation and how much value they feel they get from this site. Every dollar donated, is a dollar admin doesn't have to shell out for, so it all counts.
My idea would be to run a drive twice a year. At the start and end of the footy season, where we'll ask those who wish to donate, to do so. Of course the details and accounts will be open all year around for anyone willing to throw some coin in at any point but i think if we can get 2 big drives a year, we'll pretty much become self sufficent.
Yep, it's nosey, but I'm not gonna lie, I'd like to know a rough breakdown.
