I would hope it is entirely up to me! :D :wink: Unless there are some subliminal messages in that logo. :o

I was just interested in a "rough" estimate as to what each members share was. For example, there have been 228514 posts as I type this. If X is the total cost of hosting TBB to date, divide X by 228514 to find out how much it costs JohnnyP each time we post.

I'll happily donate whatever, as I have spent a lot of time here, but I would like to know that I am giving enough. I'll happily pay over the odds (because not everyone will donate), but does that mean £1 or £10? :)

I'd say about 5€ is alright for a donation (I haven't done mine yet, but surely will) ... obviously that depends on your funds!

All monies accumulated will go to keeping the server and website going. It totally depends on how much and how often dontations arrive, but there may also be some surprises for TBB.

How much you donate is a personal thing and you don't have to dontate at all. There is no compulsory requirement to donate anything and TBB has survived quite happily up to now without any donations, but if your pleased to see the service running as smoothly as possible you can do your bit to help.

I truely appreciate all the donations made so far, you've all been very generous and I'm now compiling a list of possible spendouts for TBB and its server. There are lots of things that can be done, its just getting them in the most appropriate order to ensure the monies are not wasted un-necessarily. For example, a memory increase would go down well and a more suitable backup solution to that used currently would be a real bonus.

Cheers

A grateful JohnnyP

Some TBB merchandise might be cool too, if you ever get around to it ;)

Although not t-shirts, got too many of them now...

How do you get it around the GW legal team? The owner of another forum says he can't have one on his forum because GW say no.

Golden Throne?

Wasn't it more to do with the content?

No it wasn't Golden Throne. This is just a forum site based on Warhammer. Something to do with not being allowed to make any money from GW IPR, even if it just covers costs.

Well, it is a donation. We all chip in to let Johnny keep the server up to date. It isn't required to pay to have full access to the server, so Johnny doesn't sell anything.

With TBB merchandise it would be hard for GW to make a case I think, but easier. You just have to be careful about using GW images I guess. But I wouldn't think it beyond GW's narrow-mindedness to ban TBB T-shirts as seen at tournaments if they were sold through TBB rather than it being the action of one enthousiast.

Could it have been they were selling merchandise that had GW logo's/pics on it? That would cause a problem.
