Want to Help Give Back to Storyteller's Community? Donations Welcomed!

[Tiko]

Due to the ongoing costs of maintaining Storyteller's Circle, we have decided to go ahead and setup donations. But first and foremost I want to personally assure everyone that Storyteller's Circle will continue to be maintained by Dashmiel and myself, regardless of donations.

That said the more donations we receive to cover server costs, the less strain there is on us and the more funds we have available to work on developing the website through custom paid addons, premium skins, personalized ads, and other side-expenses.

As a gesture of our gratitude we will be offering small rewards to donors. Donations and their rewards are accumulative and stack-able so five donations of $10 will garner the same perks as a single donation of $50.

Benefactor Rewards for $5 or more donations

Benefactor Banner & Gold Username​

​

Benefactor Rewards for every $25 donated

1 Additional Name Change​

Benefactor Rewards for every $50 donated

One Stickied Thread (1 month)​

Permissions Basket (3 months): View list of users who have read threads, ability to set auto-replies to private conversation messages, increased conversation participant limits to 20.​

Feature your roleplay on the top of the front page articles.​

What this means: If you do a single donation of $50 you will get a Benefactor banner, 2 extra name changes, one stickied thread, a permissions basket, and a featured roleplay. If you do 5 donations of $10 you will get a contributor banner after your first donation of $10, after your third $10 donation you will get 1 extra name change, and after your fifth $10 donation you will get another extra name change, a stickied thread, a permissions basket, and a featured roleplay.

Large single donations of $100 or more will yield double the normal reward rate. This means a single $100 donation will yield 4 stickied threads, a permissions basket, and 4 featured roleplays. The permissions basket will also be rendered permanent. Should any items/permissions/perks be added to the permission basket in the future they will be automatically applied to users in this group.

Note(s): Stickied threads are limited to one active at a time. This means if you have an accumulation of 4 stickied threads you may sticky one thread for four months, or sticky four threads for one month each over a span of four months.

All Benefactor rewards are transferable to friends at request should you wish to feature someone elses roleplay, or give your name changes away.

Any donations in excess of our monthly goal will get rolled into the following month's expenses or be applied to enhancing site features and add-ons.

Just a reminder! Our early donations successfully paid up the site expenses all the way through to June. That was an entire half a year! Unfortunately with June rolling in, so to has come the end of the surplus in donation funds. If anyone is wishing to help fund and maintain our community, now's the time! All donations are welcome and go to maintaining the server and general site expenses.

So its been a good long while since I've given this a poke. So first, thank you everyone who has donated over the years (and continue to do so!)

That said though, finances have been getting rather tight for Dash and I as of late while I've not been working. I picked up a new job which will resolve the income situation and get things back to normal, but my start date isn't until the 30th, and pay is bi-weekly, so I don't expect to get a first paycheck until September 10th.

It would really help us out if we could get enough donations in to cover server expenses for August and September. Rest assured though that we always prioritize Storyteller's Circle, so we'll make things work either way.

And again, thank you to everyone who has helped to support Storyteller's Circle over the years!
