Information Donations and Supporter Benefits

OK so, you want to support PC? Already placed a link (images) on your website??

Well theres another way you can help PC.. how about donating a little money? If you have a PayPal account, a credit card, or a bank account you can donate to us online.. Click on the donate button in the nav bar found on the top of every page.

See http://www.pokecommunity.com/misc.ph...ate=supporters for donation info and more options..

Or, just send your payment thru PayPal to sales@ppnhosting.com (make sure you say it's for Pokecommunity.com AND include your PC Username) or just click this link to make an online donation.

You can also mail (yeah, snail-mail) in your donations. PM me for info on how and where to send.

As PC has some pretty high costs (vB license fees, hosting costs, admin time costs and so on,) we hope some of you like us enough to help support us.. take a minute and donate a little something. Every little bit helps! You'll get some cool stuff in return: a unique usergroup complete with a colored username, a cool image to show that you're a PC supporter and more perks like increased PM space, bigger avatars, more album space (profile album and bigger image sizes), no ads at the top of the page, and finally, a private forum of your own.

PokéCommunity Supporters will be divided into tiers. These tiers will be applied to current Community Supporters and new Community Supporters.

Supporter Benefits (all values in USD)
Donation amount and tier Benefits offered
$0.99 - $4.99 Name listed on donations list
Tier 1: $5.00 - $9.99 Coloured user name, access to the community Styles Testing forum
Tier 2: $10.00 - $14.99 Extra Private Messaging space, access to PokéCommunity blogs
Tier 3: $15.00 - $19.99 Larger avatar - 150×150, VIP Forum access
Tier 4: $20.00 - $24.99 /
Recurring Supporter ($2.00/month)
Extra PM space (1000 messages)
Tier 5: $25.00 or more PokéCommunity email - yournamehere@pokecommunity.com


Recurring Supporter is a new, test supporter level that is using the vB subscription feature. We are automatically placing Recurring Supporters into tier 4 and once they pass $25 in donations, will manually move them to tier 5. To use this feature, click on the UserCP link, scroll down to Miscellaneous and click on Paid Subscriptions

There are absolutely no commitments that you will have to make. Once you’ve donated, the benefits you’re given will last as long as you do. Put a smile on that dial () - once you’ve donated to us, you’ve just contributed to the PokéCommunity’s total funding!

Blog access is given to all supporters of tier 2 and higher. Donate more than $10 and you'll be allowed to have your own blog here on PC.

Peace;

Information Donations and Supporter Benefits

Donate to PokéCommunity in a new way!
Hello dear Community. With the help of Zenus, and some other community members and the interest and effort of Steve (Rukario), PokéCommunity gained a new way of donation. You are now able to donate to PC easier than ever. All you need is to have money on your SIM card of your mobile phone and the ability to send SMS ().

How it works!
That's very easy. Just visit this page and scroll down to SMS/Text and Phone Payment (beta). There you click the button "Donate". After that you select your region (in most cases it's auto detected) and the way you want to donate.
You can choose to donate through phone call or SMS. I think SMS is more easy.

The SMS Way
After you clicked SMS, you'll be shown a text and a 4-digit number, which you have to send to a number. Write down the 4-digit number (!!) and the time/date you sent the message. That is needed later on to specify your donation.
If you did that, you might have to validate your donation by sending another SMS (one of the SMS-cost is the one of your standard tariff, the other is the donation amount). Then you should get a SMS saying that the donation was completed successfully.
All you have to do then is to write a PM to Rukario where you say that you've just donated per SMS. There you also include the date/time (include your timezone as well) and the 4-digit number. Additionally you can include your mobile phone number as well, while you're x-ing out the last 3 or 4 numbers of your number. So he knows that the doations is from you and can add you to the supporters.

The Phone Call Way
No direct information available at the moment, as nobody hast tested it yet
Note: PM me if you have donated that way and tell me what you've did exactly

Thanks!
Here I want to thank a few members, making that possible.

- Zenus For the incredible idea and for searching around to find a nice system
- Rukario For your effort and interest in this and for implementing this
- The other 21 poll voters of this thread

So hopefully this will open many members a new way to donate, who wanted to but just have no PayPal or something.

Note: Use this service at your own risk only! PC cannot promise a 100% work of this service as it's currently only in testing mode and we have not much experience with it now. PC is not responsable for any problems occuring as the use of this service is voluntary.

Regards,
Zenus, Rukario, Youji & the rest of the Community
