I think your missing the point of donations. Besides how large of a donation would you make? And what’s wrong with acknowledgements in the web board? Are not all the people who matter to the community and development team here? Are you looking for some personal advertisement, then pay for an advertisement.
A donation is a means of supporting your appreciation for their efforts. It’s not for advertisements. I wouldn’t care if jitspoe were to use the funds to go and eat-out somewhere. I offer my donations with anonymity. I only hope that the receivers actually see’s a unique id so he knows there are people who really appreciate their work.
I believe in paying for the software you use.
Yes, I’ll admit I use a lot of hacked software. But I try to go with a freeware program when ever possible. Most of the software I use, especially if on a regular basis, I actually make payments for. I do this for anything I think is very entertaining or extremely useful. When it comes to games, I have thousands and download more all the time. But I try them out and see if I like it, if I do I will go and buy it. If I don’t like it well it’s forgotten about. I even have one game called “Black & White” I loved it so much I went and bought 4 copies. It has a very interesting physics and graphics engine, and a creature AI that actually can learn to follow your directions.
The pay pal donation link goes to jitspoe’s e-mail account directly. So I hope he enjoys my fairly generous donation of $100.oo (us). I really enjoy Digital Paint Ball, and feel it would be worth at least 2 retail purchases. But I also continue to offer my support with testing and maintaining many of the servers, clients, and services that help keep the community alive.
Thank you Nathan, keep up the good work.
