Monthly Contributions
One-time Contribution
Your contribution will directly support running Art Fight!
Funds go towards server and image hosting, site assets, and other expenses directly related to Art Fight and its development.
There are several tiers of rewards for helping support the site- please read the
FAQ below for a thorough explanation on how they work.
2024 Art Fight Tiers
These are our projected tiers for 2024. These numbers are not meant to be set in stone, but rather a rough estimate that can better communicate our future goals for the site.
The tiers are representative of paid work; we still have devs who wish to remain volunteers and are free to work on features they'd like to implement, so some features may be added or completed outside of the tiers.
The contribution bar is back. We have 3 goals for 2024, plus extra stretch tiers. If a tier is reached, certain features and goals can be achieved, which will be outlined below.
Tier 1: $98,000
Tier 1 is the absolute essentials; the services that run Art Fight. This also includes high priority and necessary items that will help ensure the success of Art Fight in the long run.- Ability to perform moderation changes on multiple attacks, characters, etc.
- General improvements to mod tools and report system
- Merch
- Produce merch
- Compensate staff members with merch
- Upgrading laravel, bootstrap
- Configuring AWS
- Creating a setup guide
- Implement 2-Factor Authentication
- Improve the blocking system on site
- Allow users to delete their own accounts (with proper security measures while removing mod strain)
- Bookmark improvements: folders, mass delete, bookmark icon in searches
- Turning off user CSS by default in settings
Tier 2: $150,000
Now that we have some money, we can begin working on requested user features, but with a priority on improvements to moderation tools and new features for contributors.- Implement a modmail system to allow moderators to message users without using their personal account. Includes templates/canned replies.
- General improvements to internal tools
- A new page on the site that allows for different search options, replacing the old search feature
- A place to showcase different types of users (e.g new to the site, low battle ratio)
- Contributors relevant to each respective search will be marked with a special decoration to indicate what type of contributor they are (Supporter, Supporter+, Premium, VIP, VIP+, Sponsor)
- Tally Pro (used for surveys, internal work, and applications, allows us to connect artfight.net's domain)
- Notion Pro (for internal staff work)
- Auto-crop icons and thumbnails
- Reply button on comments
- Attack button directly on character, autofills character information
- Extra character images for Supporter+
- Character CSS for Premium Members
Tier 3: $175,000

Contribution FAQ
1. When do I get my rewards for making a contribution?
Please contact an Admin if you haven't received your site rewards after 4 hours from the time of your payment, or after 48 hours for Discord rewards.
2. How long do rewards last?
Name changes earned from supporting the site remain on your account until you choose to use them.
3. Can I pay in small amounts over time to earn rewards?
Yes. Any contributions made within a year from the current date will become part of your 'active contribution total', which determines your current reward tier.
For example: if you pay $5 on February 1st, and $10 more on March 1st, you will have an active contribution total of $15 which puts you at the Supporter+ tier. You would remain at Supporter+ until February 1st the following year, as your active contribution total would drop back to $10 and set you back to the Supporter tier.
For the banner reward, the cumulative amount must be received in between the end of the previous fight and the end of the fight the year before you qualify for the banner reward, instead of a rolling total for a year. See FAQ #4 for specific dates.
4. When do I need to pay to get my character in the banner in 2026?
Contributions for the 2026 banner must be received before the fight ends (approximately July 31 2025)
See FAQ #2 for more details about paying in smaller amounts over time to qualify for this reward.
5. What users are featured on the front page?
Please note the featured users section uses your active contribution total, not your lifetime total.
6. How do I cancel a recurring monthly contribution?
Terms & Conditions:
- If you have a problem with a payment or rewards, please contact @classicturtle, @axel, or @Rainy.
- All contributors must follow the rules and ToS like any other user, and are not exempt from suspensions, bans or account termination. Any administrative actions taken on your account will not extend your benefits, and any such actions do not qualify you for a refund.
- * The character you choose to include on the site banner must be appropriate, at the staff's discretion, and must not need a mask applied to them according to our Filter Guidelines. You will be asked to choose a different one if it is deemed inappropriate.
