Donations and Contributions.
I define a contributor as someone who has helped the blog in some way, by either reporting missing files, bad quality audio or anything else that I have missed.
A contributor is also someone who has donated files to the project via the upload folder on the 'RAW Page'here.
A Tier 3 contributor is someone who has made a monetary contribution of £5* through the PayPal link at the top of any page. Any money sent is greatly appreciated and goes towards the subscription to host the files and not for the actual files.
*PayPal will take a fee. £5=£4.60 received.
As to the donation methods, credit card or PayPal?
I would recommend PayPal, it is very simple, secure and I can return the payment on demand should you wish.
If you make a donation please send an email to let me know as soon as possible, as I like to acknowledge all donations/contributions as soon as I can.

As of June 1st 2011 there will be three tiers of access to the blog and this has been implemented due to a lack of funds to house the ever growing blog. (sorry)

Tier 1
Files/Pages with passwords remain available to everyone, as they are now, indefinitely and no contribution of any kind is necessary.
Tier 2
A Tier 2 Contributor has alerted me to a problem with the blog such as a faulty link or has made a good suggestion to improve the site or has uploaded a file or two. Present Contributors maintain access to all files on the blog, as they are now, indefinitely. On the 1st of June 2011 or soon after new Pages will only be accessible to 'Full Members' (Tier 3 Contributors).
Tier 3
A Tier 3 Contributor has made a £5* donation toward the cost of storage or has made significant file donations.
T3 Contributors will have full access to the full blog as it develops for that year. This will include the RAW files. T3 Contributors will be able to request files that have been removed should there be a lack of storage space.
Should anyone wish to pull out or choose not to make a contribution for a year then they will be Tier 2 Contributors and retain access for their active year(s).
RAW files: The RAW files will be available to Tier 3 Contributors. They will be removed from the online storage site every 4 months or so to maintain storage space. (However, if any T3 Contributor requests a file that I have, I will make it available.)
PDF Passwords: The PDF Pages contain the passwords and links to the online pages and give Contributors easy access to the passwords rather than jotting them down. These are sent directly to the contributor when available. There is also a Page dedicated to Direct PDF Pages- these are copies of the site Pages and have direct links to files and can be used independently of the blog. This may prove useful should the blog be made 'unavailable'. The PDFs are updated monthly and will play a more useful role in the future.

Contributors list and donations received: There is a list of Tier 3 Contributors (here) and the amount of funds received. This page is to show some transparency and also go someway to alleviate any notion that I am in fact operating a multi-billion pound empire from a yacht off the coast of the Cayman Islands.

Contributions should be made yearly if a contributor wishes to retain full access.

*PayPal take a 40p per £5 fee.

If any of these changes seem unclear please email me and I will explain further.
