First off, I'm proud to see how fast the people on this site come together to save the day and keep things going. I have a suggestion, may not be do-able, but figured I'd mention it anyway.

I don't think the people who contributed money should have any special rights or say in how the site is run, but I think a small mark of recognition is in order. If there is any way to put a little icon next to the screen names of those who gave or change the member status from "CEG Member" to "CEG Contributor", just so we kinda know who helped out in CEG's time of need.

Just a thought, suggestions and criticism are welcome as always!

I think it may create a "holier than thou" attitude by some if they were "platinum status" members. If a CEGer donated $25 and only had $100, and another donated $100 and had $12000, who really donated more? Not knocking the fact that people should not be appreciated and recognized for helping, but it would be like putting people in a "social class". Again, just a thought, I'm just glad CEG will be here.
We discussed that last night and we aren't going to do that for various reasons, one which you stated above. Plus the time it would take for someone to do that and the new UBB software we are using doesn't allow you to do anything like that.

And I agree that a list of contributors should be posted for recognition.

And also agree that the remaning money should be put at least into a savings account until it is needed.
Any money we receive above and beyond what we need this year will be put in paypals money market account towards the next years cost.

Like Perry stated, this topic has served as good recognition and we are not going to post a separate list of those who donated. We don't want to create an atmosphere of superiority based on giving. People have given out of the generosity of their hearts. Some people were able to give more, some less and some not at all. All that matters is that everyone came together to keep this site alive. We don't want to alienate those who were unable to give at this time, and unfortunately there are those in that situation because of the economy. Yes, there have been several unemployed members who dug down deep and managed to contribute which was definitely touching and a tribute to this site, but not everyone was in that position.

We want to extend our utmost thanks to every one who was/is able to give. Know that you are truly appreciated.
