If you like MarioKartWii.com and want to donate money to the continuing maintenance of the site, then I'm pleased to say there is an opportunity to become a VIP User.

Normal members will not have any features or usability taken away, but I have put together an excellent package for an incentive for those who do upgrade to be a VIP User. Some of the features include:

• Massive 1000 PM Storage
  
• Special Rank Similar To Mods
• Ability to Lock & Move your own threads
• Larger Avatar (W100 x H125)
• Reduced advertising
• Access to the VIP Room

I have given a lot of thought to how much to price & have looked at competitors SmashBoards charge $7.95 monthly for a similar service. For me though, this is too much. I want to make it affordable to all members.

Accordingly, I am please to say that the donation to MarioKartWii.com will be a one off fee of just $9.95. Prices in other currencies are available, and listed below. You will only have to pay once, and you'll always have access to such features. No monthly subscription.

So if you want to show your appreciation to MarioKartWii.com and become a VIP User, then check out how to below. Payment is done using PayPal, so is quick, safe and instant. You will be instantly granted VIP User status.

How secure is this site? I won't get charged again will I?

MarioKartWii.com doesn't handle the transaction itself. The payment is handled by PayPal, the largest, more secure and trusted payment merchant used on the Internet. I don't have anything to do with the payment, beyond receiving confirmation of the payment. You will never be charged again, nor is it even possible for the transaction to be repeated.

This was my idea! Go me!

So I'll be doing it in the next few days.

Hmm. I'll think about it.

I mean no disrespect or offence, but I have a few comments...

Personally I don't agree with a donations scheme (never have), but I kinda understand your reasons for doing so. 5000 highly active members is a lot of bandwidth usage, but if even half of those contribute, that's $25,000!!. Can you honestly say that your hosting costs exceed $25,000?! It's not something I'll be participating in, but I do wish you every success with the venture. And hope everyone who takes part enjoys their new freedoms!

Just to add, there are no where near 5,000 active members. This scheme will make absolutely nothing like the figures you add. This is an optional service for members, should they want to help out.


I'm an individual, not a company and I don't earn enough to get taxed, so no tax to pay. It's pay once. You will never need to make another payment.
