    BorB Benefits for donors

    This may cause a little bit of drama in these forums, but I have been thinking about offering some benefits for donors of the Zone.

    This site provides a great home base for a lot of us. And it does so for free, I also run this game for nothing and I think all of you who play know how much that entails.

    It's that time of year where we discuss as a staff what we can do to help raise money for the site. I was thinking about creating some exclusive BorB benefits and auctions for donors.

    1. Adult Star auctions.
    2. ZB bonuses for donating.
    3. Weekly flash auctions only available to donors.
    4. BorB Sub-forum where you can discuss BorB uncensored.

    What do you guys think?
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          Not against it per se, just think some things should be set/clarified beforehand:

          1. Adult Star auctions.
          2. ZB bonuses for donating.
          3. Weekly flash auctions only available to donors.
          4. BorB Sub-forum where you can discuss BorB uncensored.
          1. You could have these anyway... If the cards would still be in our sigs, nudity would still be a no-no, I assume. Reason being, the cards would show up in our sigs regardless of where we post.

          2. The only question I have is, would it be X amount of ZB, regardless of how much you donate, or the more you donate, the more you get? I could see where the latter could be a bit of an issue.

          3. Could those cards then be dealt in deals to non-donors? If not, it kind of handicaps the trading to an extent.

          4. Dunno how much it would be used, but not against it.

          Again, I'm not against it and would probably encourage some people to donate. But, I also don't think that the benefits should be "game breaking" for a non donor.

            I would think that, if they have the means to donate via transferring funds online, they're old enough to have access to an adult site.

              I've been a donor since 2003. Count me in.

                  The Cards would not violate the TOS.

                    I'm not a donor but I'm all for it. This is a free site and the people who run it I am in debt to, so when i can donate believe me I will, this just coming from the non-donor side of the coin.

                    If people freely donate, then they certainly deserve privledge

                      Don't see how that's relevant, as I said I wasn't against it. Was just pointing out that, if the benefits of being a donor are weighted too heavily, it could discourage non-donors from playing... Less people playing isn't a good thing, IMO.

                      Personally, I would have no problems donating and, to be honest, have thought about doing so in the past. Fortunately, I'm in a financial position where I would be able to donate... Others might not be as fortunate. That's all I'm saying.

                        A monthly donation costs 2.50 you dont have to pay for the year up front.

                            I was thinking it would be a 3,000 credit per month for all donors. If you pay for the year upfront it will be a credit of 30,000, 50,000 or 100,000 depending on your donor status.
                            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

                              This is just an idea right now, nothing is set yet.
                              I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
