So essentially let's cut to the chase, considering the title should be fairly self explanatory. We have decided to host a donation drive to help out with the booty upkeep. This one is going to be a little different than normal though. We have sat down and brainstormed ways to make sure everyone that wants to get involved can get as involved as they want to! So we have devised a multitude of different ways people can donate to the booty and offer their assistance.
Ways of donating
If you would like to become a supplier, an individual who has a subscription to a paysite and downloads items for us, we could certainly use your help. If you already have a sub somewhere and wouldn't mind sending us files, we would appreciate your assistance. However, if you wouldn't mind becoming a supplier and don't already have a sub, please send a PM before getting one so that your sub will go to the place it is most needed.
If you had rather just buy a single item or set instead, then we could also use your help. Once again, please send a PM before you buy any sets or items to make sure someone else has not already offered to obtain an item. I would like to point anyone considering this option to
The booty shopping list. More than likely these are sets we need the most.
This option would obviously be free to do, with the only exception to cost would be your time. If you haven't noticed the booty can be a bit unorganized with files mislabeled, items missing and more. Of course given the size of the booty, these issues were bound to happen. We want to do something about it though. When you donate your time you would be combing through the booty to find any of the above mentioned mistakes, and then some. You would report back to your appropriate staff member of your findings, and we would work on correcting the issues.
While we are currently more in need of assistance with the first three options, if none of them appeal to you yet you would still like to help, then this option may be right for you. At the end of this post there will be a paypal donate button. If you can spare it, we would appreciate it.
Sounds easy, yes? If any of the above options tickle your fancy, or if you have always wanted to contribute but have never known how, this is your perfect opportunity!

Questions/Comments/Concerns
If you have ANY questions, please ask it either in this thread, or PM either myself or Ash. We would be more than happy to assist or answer any questions. Please keep in mind though,
we want to keep any and all donations, or donators identities as private as possible. Meaning, don't be an idiot and post "Hey missb, I donated 5 dollars, have you received it?" Any questions pertaining to your actual donations themselves,
need to PM'd to a staff member. No questions asked. If you aren't sure if your question would jeopardize your donation
PM a staff member anyways. Do remember to keep your own inboxes cleaned out so that we can respond to your questions. Members are allowed a total of five PMs in their inboxes and outboxes combined.
Any and all money donated will go directly to the booty, and purchasing items for it. It will not be used for anything other. If you want to donate to the cheez server, then let me encourage you to go
here. FAQ's
Q:Will there be any public recognition for my donating?A:Unfortunately no. We tried to discuss a way to do so, but drawing attention to our donators would only put them in harm's way. This is why it is extremely important that you remain hush hush about your donation.
Q:I PM'd Ash/you/Cat/Dee/Jojo and have received no response!? A:Cat and Dee are busy at the moment, as is Jojo. Ash and myself will be the ones in charge of the donation drive. So please only PM either of us, because we cannot guarantee a response or that you will be directed to the appropriate person. It is unlikely that our inboxes will be full but if your message does not send, just leave us a small note here that it did not send through.
Q:I donated money, now I want a refund!A: I am new at this, so refunds could take time. But please keep in mind that refunds will not always be possible, since we could have already spent the money. There is a reason this is called a donation drive afterall.
Q:I just posted in the thread that I donated, what do I do!?A:Well unfortunately, we might have to remove you from our group of donators. It's nothing personal, but all donations need to be as private as possible, and any attention to them could put the booty, yourself, PMBD, and anyone else involved at a huge risk.
Q:Why are you hosting a donation drive?A: The booty relies upon donations to survive. If we have no donations, the booty will start to become stagnant until it eventually starts to wither away.
Q:I am a site owner, I have no time, sets or money. Is there another way I can help?A: YES! We would all be very appreciative if you could just link back to this thread in a visible area on your site. The more eyes that can see this, the greater chance we will have to fill our needs.
Q:I am NOT a site owner, I have no time, sets or money. Is there another way I can help?A: YES! If you have any blogs, please post about us and link to this thread. Spread the word! Post on forums? Then add this to your signature:

Q:I have a question not covered in the FAQ, what do I do!?A: Then post it! Or PM it! Either way, we will see your question, and hopefully be able to answer it. Remember though, if you have ANY shadow of a doubt if the question would put your donation in harm's way, it will always be better to PM it!
Any off topic chatter will be deleted in this thread. Please stay on topic so as not to clutter the thread and keep it easy to read through for any important information.
