HundredProofSam 1787 Report post Posted July 25 Support IVG For over a decade, IVG has provided a platform for Indian gamers to meet like-minded people and discuss their passion for games in a friendly and welcoming environment. What began as a message board in 2006, has grown into a comprehensive community for all things gaming. We have always resisted the temptation to monetise the IVG community, and we are determined to keep it that way. We believe the IVG forums should remain accessible to everyone for free. However, as we look to the future, we could use all the help we can get to ensure that IVG continues to function smoothly, while being steadily updated with the newest community features. To that end, we have set up a system to accept voluntary donations from members and readers who would like to support us in keeping the IVG community going strong. There are several ways that you can do this. Option 1: Automated monthly contributions If you'd like to make regular contributions to IVG, we offer automatic monthly donations in three denomination options. Through this method, you would be charged every month for your chosen amount for a 12-month duration, with an option to stop any time. Automated monthly contributions can be done in one of three amounts: Rs 100 per month Rs 500 per month Rs 1,000 per month If you'd like to contribute monthly, please fill out this form and we'll send you a payment link for the same. Option 2: Single contribution You can also choose to make a single contribution for an amount of your choice. To do so, please click on the button below. Click here to make single contributions via PayPal. Payments security and privacy: We use Razorpay's payment gateway to receive all payments. It is a secure platform and all payments happen entirely on the payment gateway. Rest assured that no payment information is collected, stored or accessible to IVG or any other third party. Razorpay is used by reputed organisations such as RBL Bank and Hotstar. You can read their terms and conditions here. We also offer PayPal as an option, which is well established as a safe and secure payments platform. What your financial contributions will help with. Every single Rupee that is contributed by the community will be used towards the community. These are some of the costs that would be covered through these contributions: Server costs Maintenance expenses Software and technical support expenses Upgrades and feature additions If we find ourselves in a situation where contributions go beyond our costs, we will give those funds back to the IVG community by way of contests and giveaways. Can't contribute financially? You can still help We understand that many users may not be able to contribute to IVG financially, and that's okay. But there are several other ways through which you can show your support. Use our affiliate tags when you shop at Amazon If you shop at Amazon, you can help us by using our Affiliate tag or links before adding items to your shopping cart. This way, we earn a small commission on your purchase. There are two ways to do this: Affiliate tag: Simple add &tag=i030-21 to any Amazon product page URL before adding it to your cart Affiliate link: Visit Amazon through this link. Any purchase you make during that session will benefit us. Show our podcast and social media channels some love While the forums remain core to the IVG experience, social media is a great way for new gamers to find IVG. So it would be great if you could follow, like and subscribe to us on the following platforms YouTube channel IVG Podcast Facebook Instagram Twitter Thank you for being part of the IVG community.

adity 1102 Report post Posted July 25 @HundredProofSam It may be a good idea to have a small banner with the amazon affiliate link and someplace which lists all supporters. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Nothing compared to the way you've been managing this forum since like 1.5 decades dude I think it was long overdue. IVG is already smoother than ever and most of us have been using the forum since 10+yrs now. Would be great if we as a community contribute towards the server costs over time that you had been managing on your own so far . Also filled the form for monthly subscriptions 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
