For those of you who do not know, you can donate to TGC on a monthly, semi-annually, or annually. Donating options are the following:

$5/month
$25/semi-annual
$30/year
$50/lifetime

With patron status, you get access to the Patrons forum, Backroom, larger PM box, and other features that will be added in the near future. Plus, you help keep TGC online! If we get enough of constant monthly donation to where we have extra money, it will be spent on features and monthly giveaways!

I set it up as month to month until January when I get my overage check from school.

Did I do it wrong or something?

I'm just glad I'm fixed for now and that I can support TGC as it has helped me tremendously.

Did you try PMing Mitch or Matt about this issue, or have you just bumped this thread a few times? Hang in there and we will figure out what is going on.

galant350z
01-02-2013, 12:02 AM
Originally I paid the 5 dollar for a one month membership as I needed access to my inbox. It expired after a month and my membership was changed to a regular member. A week later a 5 dollar charge was taken out from my paypal account so I bumped this thread but my membership was never changed to patronship. It isn't a big deal since the money just goes back to the community. I logged on to my paypal account and cancelled my subscription.

And today I receive an email from paypal stating I have a failed payment of 30 dollars.

I've been on here for 4 years now, I've learned alot in that time, I've talked with some Uber cool people, eventhough everyone is always too busy with their own shit, for some reason the TGC fam always makes a little time in their day to stop by and to say what's up. Glad to have this place around and to help keep it around I just became a lifetime Patron.
