BatmanYTB.com is in need of your help. We’ve outgrown our current server and need to upgrade.

Since 2001 BatmanYTB.com has grown from a small site hosted on Geocities, to a major fan/news site hosted on a semi-dedicated server. Though not has popular as sites such as “The World’s Finest” or “Batman-On-Film,” BatmanYTB has enjoyed the success that it’s had. From being named in the New York Times, to helping Author Scott Beatty with his book, “The DC Comics Action Figure Guide.”

The site also takes pride in knowing that each section is cared for by passionate fans who want to give nothing but the best. From the Action Figure Database, where you can find 99.99% of all Batman and related figures listed, to the Web section. BatmanYTB.com has grown to be the largest online database for Batman. A Museum of sorts. Dedicated to bringing the fans, the best of Batman.


And so, we call on you, the fans, and ask for help. Now I'm not going to ask for money then not explain what it is used for. Some sites ask for money for software upgrades, or site upgrades then don't use it for that. If you are spending money, you need to know where it is going. Right? Well, Dedicated servers are not cheap. The one we’re looking at would cost us over $1300.00 a year. We’re only asking for $500.00.

Now don’t think we would ask for money and not offer you anything..

We’ve got signed Comics and books from Scott Beatty, J. Torres and Christopher Jones. We’ve got a huge collection of DVDs; we’ve even got a few non-Batman items.

So what do you get if you donate?

For every $2.00 you’ll get a Batman Begins Mission Folder from Wal-Mart

For the first twenty people that donates $10.00, you get your choice of a comic signed by J. Torres, or Scott Beatty. you'll also receive a copy of the comic "Ninja Scroll" By J. Torres and a Batman Begins Mission Folder.



For the First ten people who donates $20.00, you'll get A Batman Begins Mission Folder and your choice of a DVD.

For a Thirty Dollar Donation, you get a Batman Begins Mission Folder and a RC Mini-Copter.

For $50 and over, you'll get a Batman Begins Mission Folder, RC Mini-Copter and a 2 DVDs of your chioce.


But that’s not all! If you donate anything, you’ll be entered to win:

The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight
(Updated Version)

Batman Begins:The Visual Guide

The Batman Strikes: Duty Calls
A Mini-Copter AND 3 DVDs of your choice!

Here’s what all the prizes are:

As this is now the ONLY Batman forum I frequent now, I thought I should give.

So, if you use this database and enjoy the forum, give as you can. Then, it would be free for everyone else.

(Yes, I put my own money where my "trap" is.)

Guys.. this is urgent.. We HAVE to move by the end of the month or we could face clsoing up shop.

Our currect host has done away with Dedicated servers and is now fixing it so we can't do server upgrades. This is a very big deal. The way the site is built, we can't last on the old software.

So, this is rather irgent.. anything will help!!!!

100 people giving $2 would be 200 dollars. SURELY ya'll can spend $2.

$5 is better.

Ya'll don't HAVE to give $10, $20, or $50.

(Besides, the first 10 to give $20 get the DVDs, most of which RETAIL for more than $20. If you see one you WANT, JUMP on the chance!)

I'm sure SOMEONE is a Doctor Who (modern version) fan, who doesn't already own the first season. You CAN'T get THAT DVD for $20.

So, for a $20 donation, I could get the Doctor Who DVD set, even though it's not 'DC related'? I'm a little confused by the wording. For $20 it says a 'DC related DVD," as in one DVD, and for $50 you get a 'DC DVD collection', meaning a DVD set.

If someone could clarify this for me, I'd be more than happy to help!*


*especially if I could get some Doctor Who out of it!


Oh, sweet Jesus. It's the goddamn Batman.

For further clearification, when you say "a DVD", do you mean a DVD set like BTAS volume 2?

Any DVD.. Yea.. I understand some cost more than others, but, if someone wants to donate and get a 40 dollor set for 20, then thats what they will get.

Also, look at the logo, I figured wrong.. we've had 90 dollars donated, we're at 20%. We only need $410 dollars to meet our goal. Or, 80%.

If somebody Donates $40 or more I will send them one of my extra The Dark Knight Movie Master The Joker figures.

Most of these figures have sold out at Retail and are only available on the secondary market. After you donate, PM Chris with your address. Once Chris confirms the donation he’ll forward me your information and The Joker will be sent out.



First come, first served.

You're welcome. I was hoping to see more donations, and I wonder why I don’t. The donation levels are very reasonable for what's being offered in return. So why de we only a couple donations?

Reasonable?

Those are (for the most part) within retail purchasing levels for those, in many cases LESS.

So should we offer more? This is my first donation drive, so it's not the best I admit.. anything that can be improved on, lets do it!
