Hyaenidae Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 As you all may know, the B&C is currently conducting the yearly Donations for the board. The site owner, Brother Argos, once funded this entire site from his own wallet. Last year, due to real-life medical issues, Brother Argos was forced to step away, which led to our very first board donation, with much success (we had the entire board funded for the entire year in less than a week). Because of your kindness and dedication to this community, the Bolter and Chainsword stayed up and active, a port of calm in the madness of the internet, where hobbyists from across the globe can partake in civilized discourse, share techniques and ideas, and generally just have a good time. It's time again. The B&C, which has given us so much, needs your support, if it is to continue as it has. Here, in the Age of Darkness, we have much to be thankful for. The B&C has, by far, the best 30k community on the web, bar none. We have taken this sub-forum from a fringe interest, into a massive collection of inspiring projects, amazing fluff, and (dare I say it?) the future Kings of the ETL. We are active, engaged, and optimistic. We are inflamed with passion for the era of the warhammer universe, and it shows in our total commitment to our brothers and sisters of this board, and the AoD sub in particular. The members of this board, past and present, need your help, so that this amazing level of passion and creativity can carry into the future. Help your community and your fellow members. Keep this board alive and vibrant. Please, donate. Any contribution is welcome. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308146-yearly-board-fund-drive-begins/?do=findComment&comment=4057459 All for the community, and the community for all. -Hyaenidae B&C Moderation Team Age of Darkness Mournival EDIT: Only $900 to go! C'mon folks, we got this! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308614-please-read/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The Age of Darkness is kicking serious butt in the ETL, and I think we can do the same for this. With all the people on this site, even a $5 donation from a small fraction of them would cover the 3k needed for another year of the best 40k site on the internet. The Emperor can't help us on this. We have to do it ourselves. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308614-please-read/#findComment-4068018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nephilim Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've already donated. This past week I've been broke down. If the truck doesn't move, I don't make any money.

Kor'Vesh Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Donated. I've been on here about a year now, and it has been a pleasure. Lets keep the forum running and the heresy train on the tracks!

Scribe Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hyaenidae, has there been any talk of a subscription model for those who want to take part? I dont need perks, I dont need acknowledgment, but I have enough things pressing for time, money, and mental space, that if I could subscribe at $10 a month instead of one big funding drive, that would likely be easier. Just a thought. May the Word show you The Way. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308614-please-read/#findComment-4068720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I really like the idea of a model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308614-please-read/#findComment-4068751 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thank you all for your kind donations. Y'all really do make this board the amazing place it is. :) Hyaenidae, has there been any talk of a subscription model for those who want to take part? I dont need perks, I dont need acknowledgment, but I have enough things pressing for time, money, and mental space, that if I could subscribe at $10 a month instead of one big funding drive, that would likely be easier. Just a thought. May the Word show you The Way. You're talking stuff above my pay-grade, but I can say that there are a number of potential plans in the works, being balanced and weighed as we speak. All upgrades and models are a moot point, though, if we fail to fund for the year. We want to keep this board alive and vibrant, but as the Machines said in the Matrix, "There are levels of survival we are willing to accept". I would desperately like to avoid those contingencies, though, as I'm sure y'all would as well. Nobody likes adverts. NOBODY.

Scribe Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah, and everyone runs Ad Block anyway. :) Whats the cut off for funding the site, is there a deadline? If so I'll spam the world to get folks attention. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308614-please-read/#findComment-4068988 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xin Ceithan Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Donated. While real life issues have kept me from contributing much hobby related stuff lately, still can provide for my favorite online community. Would be shame to lose the AoD particularly before I get to dig into 30 k again!

Stofficus Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I just sort of got here, but the vibrancy of the community has helped heal some of my ills and ennui regarding 40k and has got me to take the plunge into 30k proper, which has only improved my disposition (i'm going to need a tank of paint stripper when I'm done travelling to prep everything that'll get repurposed from 40k to 30k), so I opted to throw $5 at you lot. It's not much, but every bit helps, right? EDIT: Also, for adverts, most people I know (myself included) de-activate adblock for sites and things they want to support. I've done it for all the youtube channels I like, moddb, Dakka, etc. It's an easy enough program to customize as you like, should that prove a necessity.

GhostMalone Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It will be sitting nicely above my hand in between Amy winehouse and my stag, I'll get it in London the day before I travel to warhammer world.

Hyaenidae Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Next year, put a matching one on your left buttcheek, and post the video. We'd have the site funded in an hour to see that kind of entertainment. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308614-please-read/#findComment-4069083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's funded before can we still donate? I don't get paid until the 12th. Looks like it'll be done before then :/ Yep, you can still donate. As mentioned in the news thread, any money over our target can be put towards other things: We have a lot of things we would like to do in the upcoming 12 months so it would be nice to go beyond our goal if we could. Upgrading to 4.x of the software. A new skin(s) to go along with 4.x. This will most likely be an updated version of the skin you see currently but we have had some ideas running around that we may try. A possible (we say possible because it will require some hefty funds and work to really work) return of the Golden Bolters. Emergency fund in the event of hardware failures.
