The End of Demonland .... Almost

[the fork 357]

Life member. I'd like to reach out to all the lurkers such as myself who don't have much to say but read and therefore benefit, daily. Give to the site that keeps on giving (ludicrous trade scenarios, ranting and raving, extremely premature draft prospects and crusty old farts with no optimism mixed with a bunch of school kids on holidays). It's all good, unfortunate player bashing aside, most of the time and well worth being a part of. Put your money where your keyboards are!

Hey Demonland...maybe introduce another level... Like all good marketing...upsell !!! lol

Maybe

Annual..and thats fantastic to those that preferor afford this

Life... an honorable option.

but in deferance to our monicker and situation maybe another grade:

I humbly suggest. Hell... Member of Hell....it does as you would think come ...after Life..

Just like the MFC you could offer the opportunity to part with more money for the greater good I would...Hell, I spend enought time here..lol

just an idea lol

Whilst I agree and would definitely welcome larger contributions I feel that if people are going to take out some type of subscription then they should get something in return. Our subscriptions currently offer the removal of advertisements from the site as well as the use of a mobile skin for smartphones. Adding a package that is more than Life without adding another benefit to the donator just doesn't sit well with me. We do however offer the donate (any amount) link (now added as a link between Subscriptions and Demons below the Demonland Banner) for those that have previously taken out a scubscription and would like to contribute again or for those that would rather donate something under $20.

Thanks again for keeping this place going.

I think we should do a 'pledge' week every year where we try and get new members to pay up and Lifers to give something.

Maybe coincide with a yearly Etihad game.

'Go To Hell - Give To Demonland'

I don't think the two are interrelated - I just wanted to use the term 'go to hell' as a double (or triple) entendre.

Just joined up as life member, more of a reader than a contibutor but every now and then i have my 2bob's worth

Hope we can keep site going for a while yet!!! Keep up the great work people..........

PA at Demonland should not be personally out of pocket for Co-Ordinating such a forum. To the Contrary IMO. He or She should be subserdized. How about a fundraiser at Bentleigh Club? A face to face night throwing around all the issues going on at MFC.

While I disagree with the locking of certain opinion blogs without notice the Demonland Site is generally a great place to go to Vent out or praise our beloved.

How about we all start by pledging $50 and after that look to an annual fundraiser?

What about all the intelligentsia ,inciteful comment ,analysis ?

Crusty old farts and schoolkids on holidays aside-you have to admit that the writing here is at least as well researched and written as The Herald Sun-by which I mean ,not at all .

[Dr. Mubutu 866]

Least I could do to chuck a $20 for all the time I spend on here.

It'll come through about an hour after my pay does.

Totally agree. I think we all need a reminder every now and then on the cost and time that is involved in keeping the Demonland world turning. When I first joined I was completely ignorant to these facts. I don't think anyone would have a problem with a yearly reminder and then pledge of anything they can.

Thanks guys. Donation made via Paypal.

[The Great One 99 125]

I take this site for granted. Happy to give for the huge efforts that keep it running. Thanks for all the work you guys put in. I am sure that I would not do it. Great job.

[Deeoldfart 8,061]

Thanks for your sensational work, Andy, Nsher et al, and long may it continue. I've just contributed to make myself a 'double' Life Member (which shows how much I value Demonland) ..... but I sure as hell hope it doesn't take two life-times before we can all celebrate the elusive #13.

Happily paid for a lifetime membership and I don't mind rpfc's suggestion's either.

Should posters who go under several names buy multiple memberships (or for that matter posters with one avatar but multiple personalities)?

If that happened I could retire and donate the rest to the club and we'd be debt free for life.

great work guys

It's not looking good for the future of Demonology, and as Andy has noted it takes time and money to run these sites.

The organisers of both sites are talking about what can be done, but consolidation to Demonland may be our only viable option.

If you look at the stats when you sign in it is not unusual now to find 700+ people on line at this site.

It is absolutely essential for all of us that Demonland continues. And with this many people using the site it should be possible to keep it so.

I'm sure that $10 a year is not too much for the pleasure this site brings. Anything more is a bonus, but Andy shouldn't have to come to ask us for help. We're the ones getting the benefit. He's already putting in.

As they say in the classics.....it's all up to us.

I went to buy a life membership, but when I am taken to the PayPal page I am getting the following message:

Confirm your credit or debit card number

To help protect your account, we need to confirm that you are the account holder. To confirm your identity, we will ask you a series of questions.

Please enter your credit or debit card account number in the space provided.

I am very loathe to provide such information; if they wanted to confirm my identity, they could ask other questions rather than my CC number. Is there any way I can do this directly from my PayPal account, using your PayPal ID but not by going through the provided link.. and still have my status updated to Life Member?

that looks sus. paypal doesn't ask for that, only your email/password

the only time i got asked questions was when my cr card had expired. just had to update profile with new expiry date

[snomed 54]

Hate to see this site go down, and it looks a lot better without ad's now!

[rpfc 28,774]

I just hope Mark Stevens pays up...

[daisycutter 29,737]

i wish greg denham would sign up. he might get some facts right then

there again he would need to be able to pick the nuffy posters from the elite ones like me

yeah,yeah, i know rpfc. elite is probably just underselling myself, but i'm really just a modest guy (like you, lol)

Not sure why it is doing this for you. I just followed the link and it all look legit to me.

Anyway, if you PM me I will provide account details to direct debit and then I can manually update your Demonland account to Life Member.
