Announcements / New Features - December 2020
« Last post by Erik L on December 13, 2020, 09:16:53 PM »Added a couple of things -
You might notice when creating a new topic, a section called "Similar topics" now appears. This is based on what you type for the subject, and hopefully will help find topics if your search-fu is not up to par.
hCaptcha. Switched to this instead of reCaptcha. Hopefully it works better.

Announcements / Subscriptions
« Last post by Erik L on December 13, 2020, 09:04:31 PM »I am putting in a subscription to help offset some of the costs for the hosting.
There are four levels:
Free - This is what everyone has now. No changes to this.
Bronze - $1/month or $10/year. Get a spiffy badge.
Silver - $2/month or $20/year. Get a different spiffy badge.
Gold - $3/month or $30/year. Get the spiffiest badge.
One-time donations get a badge with the year on it. I will probably backdate this one to include the 2020 donors.
All the badges can be seen on your profile as well as four displayed on posts.
To get a subscription, go to your profile, and under Actions you should see a Paid Subscriptions link. This will take you to a page showing the various subscriptions.

« Last post by Erik L on December 12, 2020, 06:33:36 PM »I mean, I would, but in a country where three dollars basically keep me fed and in possesion of hygiene implements for three days I cannot spare even silver. That has been a big roadblock in supporting about 3 projects. Sadly, voted no.
P.D: The leftovers would need to go to that charity mentioned around June, since Steve does not want donations (right?).
If I do implement a subscription, those that do not get a subscription will still have the same access they have today. Nothing will change for them at all.

« Last post by Froggiest1982 on December 12, 2020, 06:22:01 PM »The thing is: do I use the forum on a daily basis for either find info on Aurora, suggestions, personal enjoyment, and resources? Do I appreciate Steve taking his time to participate, answer, and support all questions or ideas I have on this forum?
I spend more monthly on Netflix and Disney plus combined and I am sure I use them less than I use the forum. If some money somehow are going to Steve even better, but I know I can always donate to Steve directly if I really want.
My Aurora life without the forum would not be the same or I may probably not even play Aurora without the forum, so to be honest it is really an easy call.
Ask for money is never easy and it puts you always in a very difficult spot so Erik you have my deepest respect mate.
I will be happy with a subscriber badge but to be honest I don't need nor want "extras". I think I am already receiving an amazing service and I am sure I can give up either 1 coffee per month. Actually I may stay home this Friday playing Aurora and send you the 30 bucks I would have spent down at the pub instead.
