The first 5000 users get a sig though. That is good but, people should also get sigs or everyone should have sigs. I have never seen a site letting people not make sigs. I still like POF and still think it is a great forum though.
Please take this in to consideration. Thanks

This is a privately owned site. One of several which Nick owns based on Disney's online games. He's very busy and rarely uses the site but trying to fulfill the need for such a thing since Disney doesn't have any of it's own forums. Since we don't have Disney's big bucks backing us up, the money to keep the site running needs to come from some place. It takes quite a bit these days to pay for a server, domain name, bandwidth, etc. to keep a successful site online. So we ask for donations in the form of subscriptions. We get some funds to help cover the cost of everything and the users get an upgrade to their account.
We have years of experience running successful forums. So this won't be one of those sites here one day and gone the next. We have successfully had
www.toontowncentral.com running for about 8 years. About the same amount of time the game has been online. We do our best to keep a good family-friendly based community for everyone to enjoy. So your money is going to a good cause.
Whether you wish to donate is entirely up to you. We do host monthly contests to earn things such as casino cash (which can be used on the site's casino) and will soon be giving away subscriptions like a free year of having a sig, extra PM space, and other subscription. This allows for those unable or unwilling to donate to have a chance at having some of these subscription extras to their account. Everyone is free to join in the fun of the contests and eligible to win.
All donations given to this site is used exclusively to keep the site online and running smoothly. Moderation staff isn't paid for their time. All mods/admins volunteer their time to keeping this a nice safe community for everyone to join.
