I think a lot of people enjoy the informal way this community is ran. I donated because I wanted to, not because I was compelled to, and I will continue to do so occassionally. Should there become some sort of membership dues involved, I think that a lot of the people who make this place great would disappear simply because they can't afford it. And that would make a lot of other people disappear simply because the community is diluted.

So long as its feesible, I hope it stays just the way it is.

Good point....if enough people donate what they can, when they can then hopefully SS will continue to thrive.

If/when you read this Neal did you receive the second donation on behalf of ******?

I also would be interested in the answer to this question.

I don't like that idea, some people here are finding it hard to make ends meet with a lot of other compulsory commitments, it should remain purely voluntary unless funding for Subsim gets more desperate!:yep:
I donate when I can but some reminders every few months would be a good idea to jolt (or prick) the memory!!:oops::D

Just allow them to show, you don't have to click them :shucks:

What are you insinuating?

I believe he is simply saying he made a 'donation' on someones behalf and wished that someone to remain nameless.

Nice, and okay :up:
I have just allowed subsim in ******* then, if that really helps.
As long as I then can block all the ads on the newspaper sites, which are filled with them...

Your quite correct mate...and Neal has responded http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Sorry, my bad! :oops:

No prob....words and there varied meanings often get lost in translation http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Can I donate next week? I'll have more money then:D

Union or Confederate script?

Neal is in Texas so Confederate script would be appropriate.

Magic

Haha, no, I'm more of the same mind as Sam Houston, my Texas never left the Union :shucks:


Any time you wish, the Make a Donation button under your PM notification is always available.

Thanks to everyone, yes, I want to stay as far away from a "pay only" membership model as possible. That killed Combatsim. Donation here are voluntary, and I hope there will not be a need to have a fundraiser more than once a year.

Neal, Have you though of implenting one of those donation meter thingy's to the forum? You know, the kind that you see on some forums that show the cost of the server per month and the amount of donations received in that month. You could put that to 3 months and IMHO it could act as an reminder to people here that this site is running on donations as it is easy to forget that at times.
