Nothing wrong with having a donate button. Pretty much every filesharing site I use has one, so why not have one here. I believe I expressed that opinion quite some considerable time ago.
Thanks for getting the site back up and running chaps and for your ongoing efforts in keeping it going. Very much appreciated.

Well, it wasn't really a discussion that we asked for input on, tbh.
rossco suggested that we could go back to how the forum was yesterday (offline) if you didn't like it, essentially stating the same thing. Your reply was in the affirmative so I gave you a link that would allow you to do just that. What's the problem?
The point is, the board is growing and requires more money to support itself than it once did, so additional revenue is needed. When a site comes to that crossroads, there are three choices:
-Close the site.
-Put up more ads.
-Try out a donations button/system.
I think anyone would agree that the latter is the best and least obtrusive method.
What do you see as the problem with it, in that it is a negative thing?
yo
The "problem" is your lack of humour for one.
1. How much is required per month to run the board after ads have been taken into account.
2. How much do you expect to receive from members donations.
3. Will all members be eligible to donate, poor noobs won't know any difference and could possibly think they need to donate to access certain areas, only members eligible to participate in all areas of the forum should be allowed to donate.
4. What happens to extra money that is donated.
5. How will the members know how much has been donated vs how much is needed for that month/year.
6. Clarity, openness & honesty is what I am asking for, is that too much to actually ask for?
That's just off the top of my head, no doubt there will be other pertinent questions as things progress.
Yes Sir, I'm Right On It!!

Do not pm me for invites. At the moment I will not be participating here in that regard. I will ignore your pm.

There's a donate button, donate or do something else. Stop complaining just for the sake of it.
Again I think I've posted something similar before.

"and Yes people have put trust in me""and i thank you all"im just a frigen dreamer and im waiting for them to come true ....trust(trst)n. 1. Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.
2. Custody; care.
3. Something committed into the care of another; charge.
4. a. The condition and resulting obligation of having confidence placed in one.
b. One in which confidence is placed.
I'm not going to get into it, I now know why the change was made.
All I can say is having ads and a donate button don't look good.
And for your own sake, learn to administrate a server rather than spending a lot of money for others to do it. You'll be grateful in the long run.
