BBI Contribution Campaign - We Begin Our 25th Year!

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/29/2019 8:42 am
Yup, it's that time again. As our detractor's will call it, "The annual BBI beg-fest." BBI relies on two sources of income: ad revenue and our annual contribution campaign. The latter is critically important.

Each year, a few hundred of BBI's most supportive posters help keep the site up and running. Ideally we would like to expand that number with your help!

The contribution campaign will end September 30th. After that, I like to focus completely on football. Contributions can be made via PayPal or by check.

Thank you for your continued support!

Go Giants!



2019 Big Blue Interactive Contribution Campaign Details - ( New Window )

Thanks. I can't believe it's been a quarter of a century!
Wow. I've only been around for 20 of those, but it's been great.  
Ira : 7/29/2019 8:53 am : link
Thanks for all the work you've done for us. It's a pleasure to help out.

Donation sent...one of the easiest to make all year

I remember finding BBI via online search soon after moving to LA in the summer of 2000, and looking for a source for Giants news. Man time flies.

Appreciate all your hard work!!
Wow 25 years!  
Fred-in-Florida : 7/29/2019 10:55 am : link
I haven’t been around that long i’d say at least 20 of those! I originally posted as Fred102. The 102 from the section my season tickets are/were! Changed my handle when I moved! Good times and bad! My donation will be forth coming! Will be making our fall trip to Jersey! Hopefully we and Rnargi can get together again!
A check is on its way  
David in Belmont : 7/29/2019 11:02 am : link
As always, thanks for all the work you do to keep BBI going.
Being that it's 25th year of BBI  
Canton : 7/29/2019 11:12 am : link
I'm surprised no one tried to organize a training camp or Giants Stadium field get-together. (games for kids, consessions, ect) Maybe Hanlon could have gotten a few past Giant vets to attend. Or at least the 'BBI Player of the Year' award winners. That would've been pretty special.
Thanks  
Thegratefulhead : 7/29/2019 11:20 am : link
I appreciate my home away from home. Hope it is your best year yet. Paypal done.
A tradition unlike any other...  
Anando : 7/29/2019 11:20 am : link
My contribution every year is a no-brainer. Thanks Eric for everything you do.

I think it's been asked before, but any chance you will open up donations to Venmo (owned by Paypal)?

I know for a lot of us it will make it super easy / quick to send in our contribution....
Paypal  
Thegratefulhead : 7/29/2019 11:26 am : link
took less than 30 seconds EZ PZ
Sent.  
Giantophile : 7/29/2019 11:50 am : link
It takes less than 15 seconds. If you like BBI, are not destitute, and you think the internet would be a worse place without it...then there's really no reason not to donate.
Done!

I am glad to be able to contribute and extend my THANKS to ERIC & gidiefor & Sy and all the mods and all the contributors.
All the way from Canada & watching the Giants since 1958.

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/29/2019 3:25 pm : link
If there is a big demand for Venmo, I would consider it. But PayPal allows folks to use a credit card without having a PayPal account, so I thought I had my bases covered.
Thanks  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/29/2019 3:25 pm : link
everyone! I am sending out thank-you e-mails.

Thank you!

As I've said before, donations are critically important to keeping the site up and running. But if anyone is in a tight financial situation, keep your money.

NJ_GIANTS : 8/10/2019 10:48 pm : link
I remember when its first started and we sent emails in. The messageboard really helped this group come together... meeting up at Giants camps and games.. catching a Yankees game with a few of you. Always had good conversations and debates.. i haven't contributed as much in the last few years, but i always check in. I hope it lasts another 25 years.
Congrats on 25 years!  
Joey from GlenCove : 8/12/2019 7:48 am : link

Now it's letting me do what I normally did to donate but it keeps saying there's a "temporary glitch" when I click the donate button.
