"I'll donate, but only if I get nothing in return."

[Raistlin]

Maybe I'm not the only one who thinks paying for a fan art gallery is stupid.

I was about to say, if I was still willing to donate more (which I'm not), that would be the main reason I wouldn't. xD

[Dr Unne]

I mean Cid pays for the forum software, and we could just as easily be using phpbb.

PS: Why don't you?

[Raistlin]

Because phpbb sucks.

[Samuraid]

Then assume, for the sake of argument, that phpBB3 is out.

I agree with Neel.

selling PM space for $12 or $20 seems a bit too expensive to me. If it was at least $5, you may get more people interested. But then again, they possibly don't want to purchase extra PM space, because they would consider all that space useless, and would feel bad for getting something they will likely not use.

I would donate to EoFF easily because I care about the place, but I wouldn't "donate" for extra PM space, hell, I already have extra PM space for being Former Staff, so I would consider the purchase a total waste of money.

[Loony BoB]

You could just consider it a donation and forget about the extra PM space, then, like I did.

Did anyone else laugh at what ed said? Not because I'm being cruel but because I never expected him to do something like that. He seems more of a "KILLLLLLL ALLLL THE HOBOS" guy. Nice job man, you showed me even that biggest jerks care. xD

I'd donate if I had cash.

[Rase]

Honestly, PM space and a Fan Art Gallery don't really appeal to me. As for donating for nothing in return, well, I couldn't care less if I get something or not, as long as whatever I donated is used for it's stated reason. The only reasons I can think of at the moment that'd make me consider donating here is if it was in danger of being terminated or if it was for a really sweet upgrade of some sort that sounded good to me.

[Shlup]

How many members of the message board actually care about the fan art gallery? Or the main site at all? Like five? Asking forum members to donate to upgrade the fan art gallery is like asking American's to donate so the White House can add another wing. A wing where they cross-breed zebra with donkeys. Zenkey's we'll never ride.

[Loony BoB]

You're right. We should get Cid to use the ads to pay for the FanArt, and then tell everyone the site has no income for a month or two so we need the cash for that instead. >=]

[Psychotic]

But you wouldn't be able to tell us that, because the forums would be gone and none of us would be bothered to look on the front site. >=]]

[Loony BoB]

We'd let you know in advance, silly. Why the forums would be gone is beyond me if the frontsite was still there, though...

[Psychotic]

Oh, that's thoughtful! And because you're in charge, and you're crazy. I should know, we can smell our own.

[-N-]

I don't smell anything, oh wait :\

[Levian]

Oh, sorry about that.
