Why do I need to support the site?
In order to secure the future of this site, it is up to YOU to support it.

  1. Bandwidth costs money. I am happy to devote my time as well as my money to my site. If you enjoy the site and would like to help defray my costs, it would be a nice gesture.

  2. In order to keep the message board pop-up free, we have been purchasing gold membership.

What will my money go towards?
Any money raised will go towards the following...

  1. Payments for bandwidth space

  2. A fund to ensure future viability of site, specifically the message board.

  3. Some of the production costs of things like BM.com t-shirts, as well as the occasional giveaway.

How can I help?
Some have told me that this step is a risky venture, and I agree. I will not be becoming a pay site, but am relying on YOU to step up with a donation. If you use the site everyday for information, a donation of $20 comes to around $0.05 per day. If you enjoy interacting with Badger fans on the message board and would like to donate $30 for the coming year, it amounts to about $0.08 per day. If you are just a casual lurker and are only willing to donate $5, we are talking about a cent per day, but that $5 coming is still vital the sites survival and prosperity.

One method of payment is via PayPal. If you already have an account, you can pay me there. My account name is badgermaniac@charter.net.

If you do not have a PayPal account, if you follow the link below, it will help you create an account AND contribute an additional $5 to support the site, courtesy of PayPal. The great thing is this will NOT COST YOU A PENNY, but will still contribute to the site (not that I don't want you to contribute but you get the idea).

Create a PayPal account

If you prefer to mail a personal check to support the site, e-mail me to get my mailing address.

If you run a business and would like to advertise on the site and/or be listed simply as a sponsor of the site, please contact me and I believe something can be worked out.

The bottom line is that YOU will determine the value of the site and donate accordingly.

If you decide to continue as a non-paying visitor, you are still very welcome.

You can show your support of the site by purchasing a Badgermaniac.com T-shirt. Follow the link for details.

Another way to help this site without actually donating any money is by patronizing one of the businesses found at the bottom of this page since I receive a small percentage of each sale.

In Association with Amazon.com If you order through Amazon.com, entering their site via the link on the left earns the site 5% of your total purchase. If you have a specific Badger title in mind, link to that title directly, enabling the site to earn 15% of your total purchase. If there is a Badger (or any) title not listed, please let me know and I will add it.
