Hi there everyone, Happy New Year!
Just 6 days after our most recent announcement I'm proud today that we are releasing another.

Water.org Charity Fundraiser
Throughout this January we are holding a fundraiser to gain money for Water.org, one of the largest charities focused on providing people around the world fresh water and sanitation. After the resounding success of our previous fundraiser we are very excited to see how much money we can raise for this great cause, with a goal of $511.06 USD (the cost of providing 22 people freshwater for a year).

In the month of October 2015 we raised a total of $400 USD for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. and in the year of 2017 we're kicking it off with another great way to show support to people less fortunate than all of us.

In the previous fundraiser, we offered a hot pink name colour for $15 USD and this time we are offering a light blue name colour for $23.23 USD. This price is the calculated cost of providing one person freshwater for an entire year (Source: http://water.org/about/frequent-questions/). It is important to note that 100% of the money you donate goes directly to water.org, with MC-Market covering any fees taken by PayPal.

You may donate for the colour here: http://www.mc-market.org/account/upgrades

We are very excited to see the communities eager response to help those in need. Below are a few of the main questions and answers from our previous fundraiser

Can I pay the $23.23 but change my colour back?
Yep! If light blue isn't your ideal colour then you may swap back to any of the other colours you have purchased in your account preferences!

Can I donate more than $23.23?
You sure can. If you wish to be super generous and donate even more than $23.23 USD please send me a PM and we'll make sure that all the money you send to us goes directly to the cause.

Can I gift this to a friend for a medal?
Unfortunately, we do not allow you to gift this to anyone. You may only donate for yourself.

What happens to this colour after January is over?
At the start of February, this fundraiser will be over, so this colour will be removed from being purchasable on the site forever. You will still keep this colour and will be able to pick it forever once you have it. Please note that in the future this colour may come back, but only for people to support another water.org fundraiser in the years to come.

What does the colour look like?
Myself, Chance, and Hayden are all currently sporting this amazingly unique name colour.
MC-Market Minecraft Server Re-Released
The MC-Market Official Minecraft Server has now also been officially re-released! You can join it through version 1.11.2 at play.mc-market.org or mc.mc-market.org if you have your Minecraft account linked to your MC-Market account.

A full list of all of the changes that were made to the server in the revamp can be seen in our previous announcement thread here: http://www.mc-market.org/posts/1666900/

Onyx Extension Updates
After releasing this extension just a few days ago we have been met with some absolutely amazing feedback from the community. The biggest criticism that we received was that it was only available on Chrome but now I'm very happy to announce it's also now being ported to Safari and Firefox by Wvisoecj.

We hope to see these other versions released within the next few weeks along with a number of bugs fixed.​

Other Changes
Along with these changes, we have also planned a few features which will be coming within the next few days.
- Added Profile Post Sticking for Supreme members
- Social Media Forum now has subforums for each platform.​

Thanks for reading, I hope we can raise as much money as possible!

Mick I think you should price this as anyone can select how much money they pay or even lower it a little, after all, any money helps a charity. I can tell Hannes would really like to donate and so would a lot of other people if the price was a little lower. I totally understand if this isn't possible to do, but I'm sure way more people would donate and more money would be raised in my opinion.
As stated in the thread, users can PM mick to pay a high amount if they desire so. As for lowering it, I doubt that's gonna happen. If someone really cares for the charity alone but doesn't have enough for the name color, they could just donate directly to the charity at any time, they don't have to go through mcm.

thats nice of you for donating, but there's no need to brag
He donated $80, mentioning it in a comment on the thread is more than reasonable. If you donate $80 you can "brag" too!

Whoop! Tech just donated an additional $60, making his total donated to the cause $183.23! This is certainly the most strange bidding-war I've been a part of..
