ckf Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Well guys I was just going through PayPal thinking that I should send renewals for CM's as I haven't done it since last November. I got discouraged as there were 21 unpaid renewals from last season. I had asked that anyone not wishing to renew to message me so I could delete the invoice. I don't have the time, or energy to continue to sort through these CM's when the members don't even have the courtesy to let me know that they don't wish to continue. Not to mention that those memberships were part of what we were counting on to keep the lights on. I feel as though I donate enough of my time keeping the site running, I'm not going to foot the bill too. Any ideas? Flood control and go back to a slower server to save $$$$????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Dumb question - sorry John ... but is there a way to set up reminders for people, when their renewal is up? That way YOU don't have to dick around with that stuff? Or is this all on you to remind them? Seems like a headache, and definitely not your burden to foot the bill. I wish everyone who's posting here, especially the newer guys that came over from HCS like myself, could ante up and help out. It's cheap entertainment!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a PayPal link for a reoccurring membership that automatically renewed every year. I only had a few use it, so I just continued to do it manually. I think the software company offers a plugin for it, but that's just another expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would save me a lot of crap if we could migrate everyone over to something like that Feel free to PM me if anyone would rather drop a check in the mail.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted July 14, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted July 14, 2021 @ckf thanks for hosting this place and modding it (with that short itch Joella), you keep me entertained a good portion of the day. Maybe we can do traditional type fund raising like hats or t-shirts or something? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
