Hello Vault Dwellers, it's Emer here!
As most of you know, TamrielVault operates on an annual subscription plan on the Ning platform. Every year we hold a community fundraiser to keep the Vault funded for the following year. Last year we had tremendous success with our fundraiser, and we smashed the $600 goal within 48 hours of announcing it! This year we're hoping to do the same, but there is going to be a change - rather than aiming for $600 USD, this year we're aiming for $1000. We know that this is a huge goal, but there's good reason for it! We're finally looking to move the site off of Ning! Hitting the $1000 goal will allow us to both rent a server to house our network on and also allow us to create a nice website that will suit all of our needs. I definitely think we can hit this number, but we need your help!
Just like last year, we are going to have on-site rewards for all of our donators:
- Bronze Donator Status- Donating more than $20 USD will grant youBronze DonatorStatus. Youwill get a small bronze star badge* on the corner of your profile picture so that everyone knows you've contributed to the site!
- Silver Donator Status- Donating $50 USD or more will grant you Silver Donator Status.You will get a small silver star badge* on the corner of your profile picture to show your contribution, and you will also be mailed a hand-written thank you letter by yours truly thanking you for your contribution to the site.
- Gold Donator Status- Donating $100 USD or more will grant you Gold Donator Status. You will get a small gold star badge* on the corner of your profile picture to show your contribution to the site, you'll receive a hand-written letter from yours truly, and you will also be given exclusive first looks at the new site once we start moving it off of Ning.
- Diamond Donator Status- Donating $250 USD or more will grant you Diamond Donator Status. In the entire history of this site we have only had one person fall into this category, and because of that each Diamond Reward will be different and customized for each individual. All details will be discussed with you in private should you decide to contribute this much to the site!
To donate, click on the button directly beneath your Profile Box on the right-hand side of the screen. That will take you to TamrielVaault's official PayPal donation page! We'll be running this fundraiser until our goal is hit, so let's see what we can do this year! 
Thank you all for reading (and a big thank you to all who donate), and I will keep you updated on the amount that we have raised!
-------- UPDATE --------
Thank you so much to those who have chipped in early! Remember if you have donated to please PM me so that we can give you your badge.
As of today we've raised $770 USD and we were blown away by the outpouring of support! Thanks to Albino, Phil, Legion, Edana, Lissette, Sotek, Bonelord, Medieval and everyone else who has pitched in so far! You are our community heroes!
