I check our donations from time to time to see if anyone donated. Well, the club was apparently visited by Santa Claus because someone anonymously donated $100! This was shockingly nice and the timing was perfect. All of our domains have to be renewed and I was considering dropping the chat room (I pay annually in January) and this money will make all of that a lot easier. The chat room is staying now.

Thank you for this donation!!

C'mon -- vote for car of the year. To encourage voting, and help the club, I'll donate $0.50 (fifty cents) for each vote. That's up to $12.00 right now (null votes don't count, 'cause that's just a stupid thing to do).

Vote now:

This is something worth talking about for sure. Have you noticed the little blurb at the end of a topic that says:

"Did you enjoy this thread or was your question answered? Donate and help ElantraClub stay online. Thanks."...

This idea came from EC member benman and it's a fantastic idea. The problem is, only one person has done this so far and it was benman himself! Yet, I've seen so many members getting their problems solved or questions answered. It's all voluntary of course and you may not think a dollar or two will help, but honestly, it does.

You're recent donations didn't go unnoticed, I've just been really busy.

Sorry for the belated public thank you.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the donations. You guys are true blue.

A little information on why these donation drives are needed. The club is basically made up of three sites. We have the old archived forum site, the "main site" and of course, this big forum community. All take considerable money to run.

If you're not familiar with our donation system, you'll find it here.

Last years fall Donation Drive allowed me to expand the club's bandwidth, disk space, renew the chat room and more.

In January, I set a goal of $500 to help with club expenses for the first half of 2011. We're about 42% towards the goal right now.

We don't rely on advertising or corporate sponsors which gives the club a very clean look (those links on the sidebar are simply sites I recommend and have used). Please help me keep EC online and moving forward.

You can donate via Paypal here if you're interested in helping EC.

Thank you.
