I'll be honest here and say if it says "super site supporter" it may mean at one time you dropped more than x amount of dollars in the hat but the administrator has been too busy to update your status to "past site supporter".

On the flip side, some may choose to remain anonymous about it too.

I logged into PayPal and copy/pasted the Yahoo email. I hit next, and next, and finally paid and received notification from my Yahoo email that payment was sent.

Seems like it's a default title based on the amount donated. If I remember correctly you have to specify not to have the supporter status noted under your name.

I donated more than $25 so I asked to be upgraded!

As outlined on the donation page, any donation of $25 or more is listed as "Super Site Supporter".

If I remember correctly you have to specify not to have the supporter status noted under your name.

Yes, if you click the "Remain anonymous" box, there will be no notation with your avatar and username to show that you have donated, regardless of the amount.

I can't speak for the motivations of others who choose that option, I simply choose not to brag about it.

I thank you for the reminder, Big T. Apparently I am not the only one that has been remiss in the remittance department.

I'm in too, thanks for the nudge!

... and the $25 is the POST-Paypal amount. To be a "Super site supporter" you'd need to kick in at least $26.06. I think this is spelled out somewhere.

Typically, the only way I get reminded that it's time to ante up is when I look at something I've posted and notice the 'Former' in the heading. I should have some automated reminder.

Done. Easy enough for me.

I referenced this in the "2018 Balance Sheet" thread.

I'm a long-timer and much to my shame, I haven't kicked in for a while.

That has been corrected, and I'll set a calendar notice to take care of this regularly from now on.

This is a good time for us Northern hemisphere folks to contribute, too -- we're not spending every spare cent on gas, GS parts, and lodging.

It's nice to see PayPal is finally an option. I haven't written a check in years, and that makes it much easier.

PayPal does indeed truly suck, but... it's so convenient and universal we're sort of stuck with it. Personally, I use Square for taking credit card payments, or the Cash app (also from Square) for P2P payments.

Just sent in my tithe to the church of GSR. Theres one heck of a body of work here. It would be a shame it it was lost.

[lemonshindig]

I donated.

Frank, I recommend setting up a subscriber option. It is pretty easy to do in paypal if you don't want to do the work to integrate it with GSR.

I am just finishing up adding subscriptions by stripe on my own website. I would be happy to help integrate if you are interested. At the very least, we could make the "Super site supporter" automated and tied to the paypal subscription.
