What is that ® I keep seeing on some people's usernames?

Users that donate to Gamecock Central receive an ® at the end of their username.

How much should I donate?

Any amount is appreciated. Contributions from $1 to $205 have been received. Starting October 1, 2000, only people that donate $25 or more will receive an ® at the end of their username.

How long will I have the ®?

For one year after the donation is received. Some people donate monthly and quarterly. The one year time period starts again after each donation.

Doesn't advertising pay for the site?

In one word: no. Advertising rates have fallen dramatically since the Spring of 2000.

How do I send in a donation?

There are two options: PayPal.com or check/money order.

PayPal.com is the easiest method. If you're not a member, take a second and sign up. If you're already a user of the service, just sign in and submit your donation.

Or you can use the old-fashioned method of sending a check or money order. Please make the check payable to: Brian Shoemaker and send it to:

Brian Shoemaker, PO Box 2298, Moncks Corner, SC 29461

If you have a username, please include it.

Thank you from Gamecock Central!
