Milo Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 A big thank you to those otib users who have so far contributed money to the running costs of these forums using the new Donate Now button. Over time this button could prove a useful source of income.To generate further funds, we have now set up a Shopping Forum. If you purchase items via the links in the Shopping Forum you will generate revenue that will be used exclusively to meet OTIB running costs. As stated in the Donate Now thread, should revenue exceed costs then Bristol City Supporters Trust will engage OTIB users to decide how this excess is used.We will update the Shopping Forum links regularly so please check from time to time, especially the special offers thread. If anyone regularly shops online please reply to this thread with the company you use and we will investigate establishing an affiliate deal.Please let us know your thoughts and suggestions for how the Shopping Forum can be developed and improved. Finally, thanks to everyone who has contributed to getting the Shopping Forum launched.Miles HendyActing ChairBristol City Supporters Trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 It would also be a good idea if the link could have a brief explanation of how every purchase made using the forum will raise money for OTIB. It may be necessary to use a small banner but it would get the message across.Tis done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
