I think ... Nate Send a noteboard - 25/11/2011 10:46:48 PM

I have actually been thinking of doing something like that. I think it would be the same small group of people who would keep donating time and time again though, and I don't really see why they alone should bear the cost.

It'll work out, or it won't.


... that I would be more likely to donate if I knew how much you needed. And if I could get Paypal working properly for me. It's kind of not my friend sometimes. Though it would be understandable if you didn't want to hold your hand out in order to get people to contribute to the operational costs.

If it was framed in a matter of "give money so that the site can keep running" I would be more likely to do so, compared to "give money and get these extra features", since I'm not really interested in the features. I know it works out to the same thing in the end ... but I guess that's just how my brain works.

Though I can only speak for myself, of course.

I'd be interested in CMB again. - 24/11/2011 01:47:00 AM 593 Views
Probably the easiest solution is to have a filter instead, save the new board for a "Writers Board" - 24/11/2011 06:47:33 AM 648 Views
Perhaps - 24/11/2011 09:25:40 AM 564 Views
There are actually a number of simple and effective solutions if this really bugs people - 24/11/2011 06:35:33 PM 745 Views

If people want to keep the place alive and interesting for themselves then they can do these things: - 24/11/2011 08:51:11 AM 684 Views
The first is no option at all - 24/11/2011 09:24:24 AM 609 Views
