VFXY Photo Knights
In May 2007 Lev Kolobov, founder of VFXY Photos, addressed all members with a simple message: help support the site. You can read his original message here.

Some members replied to his message and gracefully donated. We thank everyone who answered this call. In response to this generosity we sought ways to recognise these select individuals. As a result we decided to create a new title for their efforts. It seemed that the word supporter, helper or even power member was not enough. The best, clearest and most to-the-point word we could come up with was...knights! That's right - VFXY Photos Knights!

These select individuals believe in the power of photography and the mission of the site. By providing financial support they ensure that VFXY Photos will continue to run as a free, clean and powerful tool for photographers around the world.

How to become a knight

So, can I be a knight? How? Easy, we ask you to donate about $10-30 dollars a year that will be counted as a sort of membership fee. You may contact us directly at donate@vfxy.com or click the PayPal donate icon below.


Yearly Donations

In order to bolster continued support for VFXY services we've introduced the fading recognition crest. The following are examples of crests and recognition you'll see on your account.

Knight badge Long-Term Knight
This crest is used to denote a long term donor or super knight. This is rewarded for going beyond the call of duty.
Knight badge Standard Knight
This is our standard donors crest. With a minimum donation you can retain this crest on your account for a year.
Knight badge Renewal Knight
A mildly faded crest. After a year of donation your crest wont be as visible but you are still recognised for your contribution.
Knight badge Old Knight
After two years, if you have not renewed your knighthood, your crest will fade even further. It will however never fade completely! You are always a knight!


Questions

Where does all this money go?

Important!!! The founders and developers of the community do not profit from this site, not even a cent. At the moment the founders are currently providing funds from their own pockets to keep the site online. So, ALL your money will go to support hosting costs and for developing new, free tools. We are also currently in the process of finding a corporate sponsor to help cover a majority of these costs.

Why it is not a fixed membership rate?

We understand that different people from different countries have different possibilities. We ask you to put as much as you can. We want to give equal opportunities for everyone to hold a knight title, but putting a fixed rate will close this option to some. Please note that anybody can be a VFXY Photos Knight, no matter their gender, age or country of origin.

Can I pay more?

Yes, if you feel so. As mentioned we appreciate any financial support you may be willing to offer.

Knighthood Privileges

With every membership you are entitled to the following services/recognitions for one year:
