Happy to look at extra features or a special badge on peoples footers etc.
The money would be handy.
Want to bounce some more 'reward' ideas?

wildwanderer wrote:Also if we are buying a supporter subscription.. please ensure the ecommerce section is handled securely and our names & addresses / payment details are not included in the forum software database. I'm not that confident in the forum software to keep everything secure. A offline unlinked system where we pay via PayPal etc and upon receipt a admin then ticks the supporter box in the forum software would be best.

There are all sorts of UL goodies that could be branded! Something Aussie I guess...

Yes it's a good forum, but..... it's a no from me.

If bushwalk emailed all members once a year and made it a simple Paypal/credit card online transaction, I don't think it would upset too many people.

A good measure of the value of this forum is to look at all the posts over the past ten months of Covid, it is pretty clear that a collection of people whose major interest in life is to be "out in the bush" were suffering in varying ways and to varying degrees, physically and emotionally, from the closure of parks, restrictions on travel and access, and in the worst instances: lockdown. In other words they were goingg nuts from being cooped-up. The forum was an absolute lifeline for such people, I aught to know because I was one of them. For that reason I would have no hesitation in supporting the proposals put forward so far, so keep up the good work mate. Regards, Greg.
