We have decided to introduce a donating members forum for those who wish to support this site in a practical manner.
Operationally, this site is fully funded well into the future - this means we can meet our server and bandwidth costs; allow for reasonable upgrades to both as required and cover the basic day to day expenses.
However it is the other things like trophies, awards and events costs that end up coming out of someone's pocket and these should really be funded by the forum as part of the operational costs.
This is a non profit operation and as such any excess funds will be used to benefit the membership or community in some form determined by the admin team.
Please note that there will be a 90 day active membership limit before eligibility to join the DM ranks although individual cases will be reviewed on their merits.
