OK, we have a problem [please read!]

[BlackMoria]

One Community Supporter account purchased!

I just bought (renewed) a Community Supporter account. Didn't realize mine had expired. Hope that helps.

Community Supporter Account has now been purchased.

Please don't wait so long to inform us of this problem in the future.

What about charging a one-time flat fee for forum access, like Something Awful?

Not a terrible idea -- as long as enworld isn't moderated like sa.com is.

Just canceled my pre-order of Complete Champion to instead purchase a Community Supporter Account.

Enjoy your cannoli!

I just noticed how cheap the CS accounts are. Mine's just now been purchased.

You know, there are lots of reasons I've used to justify not getting a community supporter account... Ultimately, though, it's definitely worth it. Honestly, I shouldn't be spending the money, but what's a little more credit card debt, eh? Just another drop in the bucket...

Best of luck, dude!

Ring up another Community Supporter account, sir. Hope it helps.

Russ,

Rather than waiting until things get dire then coming onto the boards and making yourself feel like some panhandler soliciting money outside the mall (I know you hate asking everytime this happens), may I suggest that quarterly or semi-annual fund raising drives be done, regardless if the money is need or not at that moment. Make it the same time frame throughout the year, advertise it on the site and have the fund raising drive run for a week or two each time.

In that way, people can contribute regularly through a feeling of community and supporting their favorite fan-site rather than a act of charity to save their favorite site from possibly closing.

There is nothing wrong with asking people in a fund raising drive to support a site they use on a regular basis, given what the costs are to support a site like ENWorld.
