Some of you might be wondering, "Why should you donate to RF Generation?" Our kind and hard working Technical Director, bickman2k dug up this classic, New Year's post from our Site Director, NES_Rules, detailing some site goals he wanted to hit back in 2010: http://www.rfgeneration.c...ts-2009-1258.php#comments. These goals included:
50,000 total games;
4,000 total hardware entries;
60,000 scans; and
30,000 screenshots.
Compare these goals to our current site numbers after 2015. Just look at how we've grown in 5 years since those goals were set! Today our database houses:
Over 103,000 total games;
Over 7,500 total hardware entries;
Over 130,000 scans; and
Over 67,000 screenshots.
These numbers speak volumes about our site members and the hard work and dedication they put into our database (not to mention our staff who looks over and approves each submission). And don't forget, our site is and has always been ad-free and is run solely on the donations from our members. Also, if you haven't checked out our mobile app for Andriod, get on that! There is no better way to track your collection while searching for games out in the wild or while at a convention. I've heard great reports on Twitter from people at MagFest who are using it.

That's right. You guys are AWESOME!!!! Thanks so much to all the members who donated during the fund drive this year. Our goal was to raise $1000 to help with server costs for 2015 and you guys and gals responded by shattering our goal and donating a grand total of $1209.47! RF Generation is a wonderful, free, and generous community, of which all of us are proud members. Cheers to all of you and let's make it another year of great memories on this site!
Prior to this post, all members who donated should have received a PM detailing: (1) their donation amount, (2) the number of tickets they have earned for the raffle, and (3) a link to the Playcast's Episode #0, if they donated at least $20. If you have donated and did not receive a PM, or if an amount or any other info is in error, PLEASE PM me (singlebanana) immediately so that we can fix it. Also, if you have not already done so, PLEASE reply to your PM to verify that you received my message and that the information is accurate. I will keep a list going and check off your name as the replies come in. After all donation information is verified, the drawing will be held for the prize lots. Please be patient and bear with me, since I want to make sure that everyone eligible for the raffle is included before the drawing is held. Any questions regarding the drawing may be directed toward me, but please check the rules thread first to see if your answer may be there: http://www.rfgeneration.c...m/index.php?topic=14799.0
