Totally agree with donations, but to make people more wanting to donate how about adding some donation perks? Like your name when you write something in the chat will appear green or something like that, but not anything that whould be like unfair against other users

 

Shouldn't the fact that people like to use the site be enough to get them to donate?

 

 

Alot of peoples' menalities don't work like that sadly. If they 'donate' to something, they expect to get some form of benefit in return.

I've seen people donate time and time with little to nothing in return. Not sure how that would work in the TF2 community, but its worth a shot.

What void said. I've run 3 different communities and many different servers and 99% of people won't donate if there are no perks. Very sad but very true at the same time.

I wouldn't really call it donating then but rather paying for something.

Well you're right but that's the nature of things. It's not normal for people to want to just donate because they want to help out.

I'm not sure if this is still under consideration, but I'd love to donate. Especially if y'all have a bitcoin wallet which would make it easy on me But I've gotten a lot of use out of this site, and I'd like to help it continue to thrive.

Donating is being worked on, and from what the devs have shown, its getting close.

Donations to pay mods.

 

Seriously, why not dedicate a little space for banner ads?

[TheMattgician]

Ads are internet cancer. Ew.

I know you're already working on donations, but just a thought. Jump Academy (The group I own that specializes in jump assitance) recently went to Patreon for donations, where I believe they're already taxed after the initial small fee Patreon takes from it. We use the service to fund servers.

 

Here's our page just for an example:
