I also had this idea one or two years ago, and when we last discussed it the general opinion was against it because it looked like "buying medals". Are there new opinions?
As a compromise, I put up the Supporters List back then.
Pretty sure i forked over some groats for the cause.
May need to update the list for Yildirim and i.
As for a medal for donations,although it does seem a bit mercenary,it may be just the thing to increase donations and awareness for this sites financial needs.
I think new members in particular and those without any awards may be very interested in an easily achievable medal,to help them establish some level footing with the more heavily "decorated" of our knights.The knights who have won such awards are most surely deserving of them all and i do not wish any to feel slighted for others achieving such with minimal effort,perhaps the medal should only be given once a member has donated a set amount?
I know many will say that these are good reasons not to have medals and awards at all,but they help mark an individuals accomplishments and the efforts they put into the hobby.It's all a bit of fun at the end of the day!
And i for one cannot wait for the next RTOB awards ceremony.
ps.I will donate some more cash once i recupperate from my mothers,Mothers Day spending yesterday.sheesh!
