BirdBoard Holiday Fundraiser

[Kevin]

Here is the idea...


We are trying to increase funds for more some future development in new features for birdboard before the year is out and getting more and more people involved in birdboard...

For every post made on a future thread, 5 cents will be used for adding newfeatures.

If you would also like to be a sponsor please step up and message me or post in here saying your up for it.

Here is what you could expect. Say a thread has 1,000 posts on it within the 2 week time frame you would donate 500 posts x .05 = $25 1,000 posts would be $50 and etc.

We will have criteria for what is considered a post and not a post. ie saying "hi" 50 million times won't count.. But legitimate posts.

1. I believe this would count as a tax write off as a donation.

2. Your helping enhance the online community your an active particpant in.

3. We greatly appreciate the financial help to continue bringing you the fastest growing bird site online.


Now I open this up to you... Comments, ideas, questions?

So let me get this straight...

This Holiday Donations thing is pretty much a birdboard tax of 5 cents a post?

Does everybody have to pay this?

He is looking for "sponsers" not as in a tax.

I do believe it would be "sponsor" donations and it sounds like something I may like to be involved in.

OK, I'd be willing to donate $20, and I'll challenge the other mods to match me....how about it Jim, Tara and Laurie.....you guys in?

I would be happy to donate $20 for Laurie since she has a grandson coming very soon and is probably saving up all her funds for that. :)

Keev,

A little help here; first lets look at expenses, how many paying members do we have? The software update cost is nill, correct? How much is the monthly server cost for bandwidth? How much money is needed for the new features? Are there any paid employees?

I think more people will donate knowing the costs involved! Are you wanting to sell the board?
