So I donated some money... what a mistake.  I was a little leery when I did not see an https url, but figured what the hell, this site has been up for so long, I enjoy it and use it so I should contribute, and everything will be fine.  Wrong!!!  After clicking on send payment, within 1 sec I get a message on my phone from BofA telling me my card has been restricted, and am asked to call them.  After holding for 10+ minutes, I am finally told that my card has been compromised, and is now void (apparently my donation went through, but my card is now toast).  
I will receive a new card in the mail in about 5 business days, but until then I have a problem.  I can get a temporary card if I go to the bank and request one, but the biggest issue is I have a number of auto-pay accounts set up for tolls, public transport, cell phone, iTunes and more, all of which I will have to spend time changing my billing info for when I get a new card.
The group that runs this board is in China, and I guess I should have known better when I did not see a Paypal option.  BofA says the charge showed up for Games ??? London.  Sorry to discourage others from donating.  I hope this issue can be fixed.  I don't want anyone else to have to go through this mess.

jm_runs should probably create an alternate method for donations. maybe a separate paypal account for the members of thongboard to be able to donate or some other way to donate there must be many other ways. it would be a shame for the site to get shutdown. 

Aimoo.com once supported direct payments by paypal.  They don't any more.  That is a shame.

If you want to use paypal we can use my paypal account to gather up individual payments and then make one Aimoo.com payment from my debit card. Send me a PM (Private Message) and I will send you my paypal email. (I dislike posting email address directly on the web because they are quickly found by spam bots.)

Also let me know exactly how much you sent so I can keep track of how much I then owe to the board.
(Otherwise the payments just get tangled up with my existing ebay/paypal traffic and I would have to go back and audit my transactions to do the accounting.)

 JM- thx for all your hard work to keep this site going. I made a small donation but it doesn't come close to all the benefits I have received since the old pink screen days.

 See my note above, where I said:

"If you want to use paypal we can use my paypal account to gather up individual payments and then make one Aimoo.com payment from my debit card. Send me a PM (Private Message) and I will send you my paypal email."

 I don't know if I'd be the only one interested to donate if you added a bitcoin payment address, but I would then.
It seems the only major difference here between free and paid, is about file uploading. So, maybe the ones that enjoy the pictures people have on their profile should really considering donating.

 Bitcoin? You must be dreaming. At this time they don't even take direct paypal.

But you can make Paypal payments to me, then I will make one joint consolidated payment.

 JMI used the link you gave ( http://forum1.aimoo.com/ThongBoard/Forum_donation.html  ) to make a donation the other day using a visa card. It was  easy and I had no problems at all. Went very smooth. Hope more of you consider using it.

It seems the problem experienced by sandrhymes has not been reported by any other users. It seems his bank flagged his card because of the transaction cleared overseas.

Come on people, the board needs your support. 

thought I had posted here already - anyway made a donation through credit card and all went through fine - no problems with my credit card etc.  

I was asked to post more about the year costs of running the board.  

I just donated $10 Us dollars.  Hope all goes well..
