As of today any member who has donated (a minimum of $25) to support the operating expenses at dn.ca will receive a Supportive Member badge.

As always dn.ca will remain mostly ad free and cost free to members. Any contributions are strictly voluntary and this is our way of showing appreciation to the members that have decided to contribute to the ever increasing costs of running this board. Some of the scripts (addons) can cost up to $40 per year to use and the cost of all the addons is adding up significantly, especially our custom ones which have been written exclusively for us. These addons can be hundreds of dollars to re-write when the board software updates.

The SUPPORTIVE MEMBER badge will stay active for 1 year for every $25 donated, so if you donated $50 your badge will stay active for 2 years.

A list of supportive members can be found here: Supportive Members

A special thanks to jaydub @jaydub who has been a long time supporter and we have issued him a lifetime badge (y)

Special thanks also to BillSweetman @BillSweetman for both supporting and sponsoring our site (y)

Just to add that I have made sure to activate the badges for anyone who has previously supported the site.

Site Supporter might be a better title in keeping with Site Sponsor
 
Question to inform decision making: If you were to take the monthly (or yearly) expenses of running the forum and divide it by the number of members, what would that result be?

I know those numbers can be horribly skewed as it leaves out so many details, but just for the easiest possible math.

Appreciate the feedback but my mission has always been to keep the board free and reinvest any of the proceeds into the community. What people don't see is how many custom scripts and features we have that need to be repaid every month or year. However the main point is not to obligated anyone and to keep the atmosphere as stress free as possible. That is why there are no ads and every topic is sized full screen with nothing flashing or taking away from the topic at hand.

That is especially important for Member Market Pages and Listings. The last thing we want is for a potential client to click out of the topic because they are responding to a flashing and or similar. I don't know of any other domain investing forum that has that and I am very happy how DN.ca has evolved into one of the friendliest domain communities on the web.
