We are finally getting around to setting up a structure for Contributing Members here at AF and I want to assert from the start that this is just the beginning. There are a lot of ideas floating about thus far as to all the kinds of perks we might (or might not) be able to offer Contributing Members, so what you see outlined here is really just a start. As a rule, things like Custom Titles, Greater Avatar flexibility and Increased PM Box Sizes are the most common requests, so we have addressed those issues first. What you see below is the structure we ALREADY have in place as of this announcement. We have created a system of Contributor Banners, that is really just our way of saying thanks for digging into your pockets and coming up with a dollar contribution to this site. Money gathered from donations goes right back into the site and its maintenance/upgrades so it is very helpful and much appreciated.
Let me reassert that this is just the tip of the iceburg here and we will be adding to this lineup as time progresses. There are a few things we need to research before commiting to and a few other things we want to do that we just haven't sorted out how to do yet. We will post add-ons and upgrades as we go along here.
The structure as it stands at this moment is:

Right now the easiest way to become a Contributing Member is to click on the Become a Contributor link on the main page, just under the Abrahadabra icon. This will take you to a Paypal Page that will allow you to make a donation via Funds Transfer (if you have a PayPal Account) or Credit Card (if you do not, or do not want to use the transfer function). If you need to make a payment by some other means, you will need to contact AF Staff and let us know. Changes to account status do not become effective until $ Contributions have actually been received. Sorry, no exceptions.
Some of you have no doubt seen perks at other sites that we have never seen or simply have not yet considered, so feel free to make suggestions and we'll look into it. In most cases, if it's doable, we'll do it...
Thanks everybody,
