Do You Donate To The Upkeep Of The Fleet?

HighTower · Posted Sun 03 Jun, 2012 7:08 AM

Greeting

We all know that keeping this website up and running costs money and it would not be possible without donations from officers and other members.

The money donated helps keep this website, Teamspeak, Elite Force 1, Minecraft and other servers online for our enjoyment. We have over the past couple of months broken the £80 a month goal which it Great.....

So do you donate to the fleet to keep us going?
Please note: if you cant donate please don't feel guilty not everyone can!

(This is not a new poll of the week)

I do been on very tight budget i do try my best if we got spare ,

Just note :
also some people may not want to come forward as they sometimes do not disclose who it is ( and who ever they are big thank you )

HighTower · Posted Sun 03 Jun, 2012 8:29 AM

i understand that some members might not want to come forward. i was just wondering that's all

I went for unable to do so at the moment due to my job situation and the lack of one along with very little money to get me by (Damn car is like a sponge). Although I did choose that option I have thrown some money towards the fleet a few years ago back when I had a steady flow of money.

I think thats great though. Everyone from top to bottom can chip and and we maintain our integrity by offering advancement based on contributions to fleet administration. Thats not to say donations aren't a valuable contribution but I certainly feel proud that ranks and role cannot be bought. It also takes pressure off of those that donate to take on positions they don't feel comfortable in or don't have the time for.

At the moment, I can't donate. I was hoping to end my sabatical by now but its proving tougher to get back into work than I had anticipated (already had to lower my asking salary considerably). As such I'm on a tight budget, strictly enforced by the missus XD I'll be chipping in when I'm working again though.

Im not wanting any rank, just wondering how come im a reservist dispite joining in the main fleet in late 2010?

Now I will continue to donate, when I can but like everyone moneys hard to find atm, when I did you were just $35 out (that being just £20'ish pounds in UK money) so I thought why not...
I can only think that it was when I was having bad computer poblems last november to January that I got bumped down to being a reserve

Oh well.

Probably inactivity? Since we use the roll calls to tell who is active and who isn't. I assume you can easily request to be moved off reserves (Unless you mean in-game reserves, then just leave reserves fleet and put in a invite request to the main fleet for the toon in question).

Tim Jerrom · Posted Thu 07 Jun, 2012 5:55 PM

Hah imin the UFP Reserves, if I leave them who and how do I rejoin the UFP main fleet?

Have now left the UFP Reserves can someone send an invite to Jerrom@TimJ please?

There was a fleet re-org, were the old main fleet was renamed "UFP Reserves" and the new main fleet was reformed. This was done due to the 500-member limit. The old main fleet hovered around 480-490, but it was hard to tell who was active, who were long gone alts of mains who left, etc.

That's the scoop on that.

To get your "Main" character in the main fleet, you have to 'leave' the reserve fleet and put in a Fleet Invite request. There are fleet officers online throughout the day who will be able to process this for you or even coordinate it with you.

Hope this information helps!

For being on topic, I've donated in the past. I have to get my paypal account password again (I don't use it often). But plan to donate more again.

No no I didn't mean it like that, it was more about your donations wouldn't have affected your position, adversely or positively.

The subsequent discussion cleared the matter up, thanks guys!
