Hello Everyone

It's exciting to think that Royal Courts of SecondLife will be celebrating it'sThird Anniversay this September!! We've come a long way and certainly had a lot of fun over the years )

As many of you know, this siteuses the Ning Plus subscription package which we pay on an annual basis, the next renewal date being July 21, 2012.As far as I know right now, Ning Pluswillcost us $239.90this year (or $24.95 a month) which is approximately L$62,500 depending on exchange rates.

For thepast two years we have held a fundraiser andcontributors have received a little gift in appreciation of their support. This year we are going to try something a bit different.

A new Member Category, RC Supporter ,has been created and will include anyone that donates L$250 or more. Not only is this for the annual fundraiser but over the course of the year as well.Membership in this cateogry is also indicated with a badge that istagged onto your Profile Picture (take a look at mine as an example). It's anice way for us to say "Thank You" for helping to keep this site up & running.

Donations are now being accepted inworld at the Coeur Fairgrounds . Look for the big Royal Courts sign in the south-west corner & "Pay it" to donate.

Many thanks for your continued support. It is truly appreciated!

Tatiana

Thanks for running the ning, it's a great website:))

It is my pleasure to have the opportunity of contributing in some way. Thank you, Tatiana, for the effort to maintain this usefully and great web.

What would the Royal Courts be without this NING blog?

Ships without a compass

Rivers without bridges

deserts without caravans

or even a French lunch without cheese...:-)

This is the crossroads where we all gather, long live the RC NIng, and a thousand thanks to Tatiana!

Update: May 18, 2012

As with many new systems, this one requires a bit of tweaking and soI have set a minimum level of L$250 for obtaining RC Supporter status.

I feel that a line has to be drawn somewhere asit'sreally notfeasiblefor me to do the administrative work necessary to run this program for a few pennies. Although we could debate where the minimum should be set, a sum which amounts to approximately USD$1 seemes fair especially considering the historical average individual donations over the past 3 years.

I have updated the OP to reflect this.

Thanks!!
