Oh, yes -- I can see it now! There's going to be a sticky thread with the title "Champagne and the drinking thereof", isn't there?
Oh, Mike, how nouveau riche would that be? Tsssk!

After almost six years' membership,
including as plunkett2vataha and flutie2phelan,
i wish to state that
PatsFans.com has been a wonderful relief from the real world
... and has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of rooting for the Patriots
by improving my understanding of what is going on.
I am delighted to be able to contribute to the costs of maintaining such a valuable site
and don't need any of the supplementary benefits
that Ian insists on furnishing.
The virtual friends i've made here
are worth far more than this (optional) "cost" of admission.
So when does camp open already?
Just go to the thread http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/showthread.php?t=83929
and follow the instructions. The thread is locked, but the donation instructions still work.

Well, I'm not really much of a VIP Lounge kind of guy. But aren't you supposed to be standing on the balcony, spraying the heaving masses with Crystal?
Or is it like the Senior Common Room (a bunch of badly dressed dons complaining how A-levels have been dumbed down and no one knows whether phenomena are singular or plural any more)?
Anyway, thanks for being my proletarian conscience ...
Is there any way of donating the $18 without having the VIP designation out there on Front Street?
I'll take care of the donation first then PM the mods, I suppose.
First of all I really appreciate all the support from those who have donated, it means a lot. I had locked the original thread because I didn't want to make a big deal out of this, since I didn't want anyone to feel obligated. But after reading all these posts I wanted to post a quick "Thank You" to all of you...I really don't even know what to say.
Regarding your account, please check first and see if your PM limit has increased to 1,000. If that has happened, you've been upgraded. I also changed it where VIP Member is listed below your username (a little extra status ) But You can also change the custom user title below your name to whatever you want (within reason of course )
You'll also be able to go into your Profile and increase your avatar by uploading a new one (it will be larger than all the others), as well as your signature image which has been increased in size. Not a huge deal, but for those who want to use those hopefully this adds a little to your unique personality here at the site.
Next, I'm working on the VIP lounge which will hopefully be done by tomorrow night. It will be a nice little safe haven from Trolls, etc. and will be another place to hang out. The NFL News Room will be available this week, so hopefully you'll all find that useful as well. There are also new arcade games coming, and there will be some that will be available to the people who were kind enough to donate.
So lots in the works, and thank you all so much for helping out. It honestly really means a lot, and I'll do my best to continue trying to make it better. But please always feel free to PM me with any suggestions!
Thanks again, - Ian
