ditto. But you have to be willing to accept foreign currency, without any stupid conversion charges, either through PayPal or MasterCard.

Yes, I'd rather you buy goodies and get something for your money, tangible, than just take donations. I know there's nothing to buy right now. I'll reopen the 'shop' part in 2004...!

But I'm really happy you guys like the site enough to want to contribute, that's very cool! :blush:

Yeah Ben. Use the funds like a toll and these funds can go towards the upkeep and for new stuff for this org. hmm Though I am not sure if all people can financially afford it, just contribute what you can???

Er, I have a special Official Org Offshore Bank Account y'all can send cash to smile smile

Seriously though, I like the fact that the site is free. Taking cash off people creates issues... Purchasing tangible merchandise is a nicer idea I feel - people pay cash, and they know exactly what they are getting for their dough.

Some folk show will want to show their appreciation by donating money. Set up a PayPal button to give them the opportunity to help fund the site with voluntary donations. Sure, keep it free too.

hmmm


thinking...


this might not be such a bad idea. those who offer a bigger donation, get more rights and priveleges. for instance, if i paid $1001, ian could no longer deactivate me, snip me, or what have you, and what's more, he'd have to do my evil org bidding... evillol

Ok, well if you do that, make some CHEAP stuff. You know, coffee mugs or something. I'd like to donate, but don't have too much to do so, and a $30 CAN Cotton T-Shirt is a little hard for me to swallow, especially when I include shipping.

Maybe if the PayPal donation box was essentially ANONYMOUS, then it wouldn't have any of the aforementioned complications?
