I may install that option at some point to allow people to donate individual amounts depending on how things go with this. I'll give this a few days and we'll go from there.

Can it be made payable in 1 go?

I would hate £0.9 going out of my account each month.

Yes, the $18.00 is annually, not monthly. Not to worry

We're up to 92, it's not quite that bad Patjew. After all, we are coming off of an ugly loss

Thank you to those of you who contributed today, I appreciate it. I'll update everyone each day to let you know where we're at.

I signed up. I waffled for a while, but come on? For $18, where else on the net can you go to get this kind of timely, relevant Pats news and discussion?

**Ian** · 10-13-2008, 09:19 PM

Someone just sent this to me:

$.05 x 365 days = $18.25

So it's actually less than a nickel a day for a wealth of information

Irregardless of that, for all intensive purposes the rest of these cheap bastiches should dig deep and pony up the nickel a day. It sickens me to not see regular poster achieve VIP status. There's no excuse. If this place isn't worth that much to them, they shouldn't be members here.

Let me know if you'd like to donate but can't afford the $1.50/month so I can spot it for you.

GostkowSKI · 10-14-2008, 07:38 AM

Not to start a "guilt trip" on anyone who hasn't donated, but here's another way to break it down:

Say you spend approximately fifteen minutes a day on PatsFans. That equals out to one hour, forty-five minutes per week, or roughly the average length of a movie.

Average movie price: $7.00
One week of VIP membership on PatsFans: $0.34

The impetus for me was I simply wanted to contribute to a place that I enjoy, and now with the AOL boards apparently closing up at the end of this month I think I'll enjoy this board a lot more if I can give myself the option of escaping the ever-increasing general insanity
