Superfan Status

I know what you're thinking, and no, it doesn't mean you have to pay to post here. These options are for members who wish to contribute to the forums and aren't necessarily sure how much to donate, and/or for the folks who want some extra benefits to posting here.

We have come to a fork in the road with hosting costs, and to reward those who want to donate to keep this site up and running, we are going to offer some special features.

Those who donate will be upgraded to the SuperFans membership. That membership privilege upgrades your membership with the following:

There are MANY MORE benefits not listed!

Also members will be given a this image under their username which will be display on every post they make: http://www.dabearz.com/forums/images/ranks/superfan.jpg

The donation amounts are:

$3 per month or $36 per year, select which length you wish to use(that's only $3 per month, people lose more than this in their couch!). Currently the easiest and best way for us to manage this is via Paypal. You do NOT need to have a paypal account to donate!

The payment will be reoccurring at the interval you select.

This subscription is available for purchase in the Account Settings area (under paid subscriptions). (or you can click here ).

To reiterate, this does not mean users will have to pay to post here. This is merely for additional features/benefits or for those who wish to contribute.

We may offer other levels of donations, but currently we are offering this one.

Currently the out of pocket expenses for myself have grown costly, and I ask everyone to please try and help out if you can. We've merged sites in order to cut costs, but that still leaves some costs.

Unfortunately we can't host our site on the $9.99 hosting plans. We eat too much of the server's resources. So we have to go with a plan that can handle a good sized site.

We have a great site here, and we want to continue to offer features, but without help, we cannot grow.

What does this help cover?

With the donations, along with our advertising, we are able to maintain (and even add) some features to the site.

We also hold a Superfan only FF league. The winner of the FF league wins a replicate jersey of choice.

Thanks guys for helping to build the #1 Chicago Bears Fan Site!
