For those of you who were asking...

Hi everybody! I don't think I see any posts that @jminer has made about this yet.

First off - THIS IS NOT A 'PLEASE DONATE' request!

Nobody is trying to guilt us users into helping pay, that's entirely up to you and nobody will think any less of you for it if you do not wish to, or are unable to donate! We are a community and are just happy and lucky to have a new home; nobody should feel like monetary contributions are required to be here! Also, we know these are trying times for a lot of folks with COVID and its economic and career fallout...

That being said, @jminer now has a donate button active at the bottom-left of the page! A LOT of people were kindly asking to help support the cause, so I thought I would mention it to inform anybody who had been asking! You can now donate via credit card or PayPal if you so choose and set a recurring monthly donation if you feel so inclined!

Again, this is NOT a REQUEST for donations, so please don't feel you have to donate. @jminer , being the awesome dude he is, has said we are OK cost-wise with him footing the minimal bill for this first while, but as a LOT of folks were repeatedly offering to donate to help the cause, it's nice for them to finally be able to contribute!

A SINCERE thank you to all of you wonderful people for making this place feel like 'home' again with the imminent demise of Oppo Kinja, and I look forward to seeing what we can make of this place!

Have a FIAT 126p for your time!

Sleepy box Tazz says thank you!

I didn't notice it at first either! I went in to change my signature a little to make it a bit shorter and noticed it down near the 'Save' button in the settings, haha!

Might be unpopular, I'm actually okay with a small amount of non-intrusive ads if it helps with server time. I get it, it costs money.

Just make sure you vet the vendors so that you don't run into scam ads or malware.

Just a heads up for anyone, if you have infinite scroll turned on in your settings you'll never see the button unless you're inside a post or some other page with an actual bottom.

Just signed up for Oppositelock Black. Hope the perks are good. Will we be upgrading the loaner garage soon?

And that's probably the biggest argument for not doing advertising at this time. Unless we have a member who understands the advertising field and wants to do it, I don't think any of us wants to spend time on all that extra work. We would agree with your sentiment and would not want to do something half assed that hinders the community and lessens the experience.

Thanks everyone! As @RallyDarkstrike said, you do not have to donate, but kicking a few bucks will help us with long-term oppo plans and making sure the lights stay on. I really appreciate the reception we've gotten so far.

@rallydarkstrike Trying to click the Donate button, but the site adds the next page of posts before I can click the button.

@ttyymmnn Ah thanks I finally figured out where to change that.

I just clicked the double chevron in the toolbar to take me to the bottom.
