Just saw the V.I.P. preview :D

Annnnd why the hell would it be forced to shut down? As long as you don't break any federal rules, or terms off service (which we aren't) we are fine.

I was giving an example.

An example that isn't valid...

Ok for example Virus is no longer interested in hosting the site or paying for the domain.

It is pre-paid for the next year or 2 (I believe just 1), and we have offers for free hosting from friends of the site. We're not going down anytime soon, dear.

If you donate the bare minimum ($15), you are guaranteed VIP status for at least 1 year (so long as you follow the rules). We don't want to take VIP away from good members, so if you contribute and follow all the rules you're likely to have VIP for life!

1. Contribute what?

2. Do you think you will ever promote a member to V.I.P. without a donation. (I'm not asking I'm just interested about the criteria)

Contribute to the site. Releases? Tutorials? Anything we find useful. We already have promoted a few users to VIP without receiving a donation. Don't expect it for you, though. It was only because of what they've done for the site.

I wasn't expecting it then was I?

just like you weren't asking about how to become staff for yourself :roll:

You fail to comprehend that I have no problem with the answer being no for things like that and very rarely ask questions like "Can I please be a mod" I just try to be active, friendly and follow the rules.
