What is this all about?
Inspired by a recent TCCMB posting, a "Friend of TCCMB" is someone who wants to support TCCMB, the forum and institution, in a tangible and public way.
What are the benefits of becoming a Friend of TCCMB?
Right now, there are three main benefits:
1. You can use the logo above on your web site, to show you are a supporter;
2. Your daily posting limit (normally 10) is automatically raised to 15;
3. Your name and country are listed on the recognition page, if desired.
How can I participate?
Very simple. Using PayPal (http://www.paypal.com) send a USD donation in the amount of your choice to the following email address:
Or, if you wish to make a donation via VISA, Master Card, Discover Card, American Express, or e-check in any of the following currencies: US Dollar, Euro, GB Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen, or Canadian Dollar, all you have to do is go to the following page, which will lead you to a fast, secure, transaction.
Finally, should you wish to use another method to donate, simply send an email to the address given with your preferences.
Can I use the logo at my site if I don't donate?
Sorry, no.
What about commercial donors?
This is perfectly fine - just indicate the name you want the donation listed under when you make your donation.
Is there a minimum donation amount?
No, there isn't - give whatever you want to. Donations which total $100 USD or more will be listed in a special section on the recognition page (Lifetime Patron). Anything that you would care to give would be appreciated, and recognized. Suggested minimum donation amounts: individuals $10 USD per year, commercial $20 USD per year. The suggested minimum amounts are given as a guide only. Feel free to participate in this voluntary program in any way that you want to, or not at all.
TCCMB was founded in 1998 by John C. Knudsen, USA
