GMPT VIP/Contributors Section - GM Performance Tuning

jamz · #1 (**permalink**) 11-23-2003, 08:19 PM

Tonight I will be launching the VIP/Contributors section. The section will outline what exactly entitles a member to get "contributor" status. Over the past year GMPT has been running virtually free of charge to members. We tried the VIP section a few months back with no luck. This time, we are simply asking for your support.

It will only cost $3/month. Bascially you make a committment to help keep this site online and alive for only $3/month. That is less than 10 cents a day.

You will have the "contributing" member status under your name. Most importantly, you will help keep this site alive.

We are running a new server with a pretty nice backup system (hell, we already lost our stuff once!) and it's in a very nice server farm in Colorado. The fire protection and general security is excellent. The only draw back, I'm paying close to $300/month.

This is a non-profit community. GMPT isn't a business, just a group of people that love GM cars and trucks.

So, I am trying to raise money to not only pay for this server but put any extra money aside for:

1. Future GMPT meets .. wouldn't it be nice to get an invitation and pay $0 to attend.

2. Free GMPT decals to help promote our wonderful club

3. Helping keep GMPT on-line

4. Helping cover costs when we must hire outside help for varous parts of the site.

I hope everyone understands we are trying to keep GMPT a non-profit community supported by it's members. We want to keep sponsors on this site to a minimum if possible and have a site where members make it up and help keep it on-line.

I hope everyone understands. This isn't just myself putting a hand out. It's not all about the money. It's simply about raising funds to keep this website online.

The page is up for this. I truly hope to see some support which I'm confident we will.

Thanks!.

Great .. glad to hear that .. because sometimes when programs launch such as this people can take it in the wrong way. But, like I always have, I run a website with an open book where you guys/gals always know whats going on. I believe it's crucial for the members to stay informed.
