    The best way to raise money would obviously be to have people pay to gain access to the secret porn forum.

    we can sell cookies. Sure, they'll be old and crumbled when the mailing is done, but it's not like... nevermind, crappy idea.

    Actually, I've had cookies sent over from Nyijoisey and they arrived and were just fine. In fact, they were orgasmic. Best cookies I have ever had in my life. I can't even remember the name of the company Meg (person who sent them) worked for though...

    Del Murder sent me cookies.

    And I sent him brownies and he told me they tasted funny.

    Just another update, donations without benefits as well as purchasing PM storage for your friends at EoFF are both now accepted. Please see the announcements for details.

    Any chance of a non-Paypal option?

    There are things like Nochex and stuff that aren't enabled right now. You'd have to talk to Cid though as he'll need an account. He might accept cheques or something too... not sure.

    I've made an observation that there is no such thing as a self-less act, so in the case of donating you always get "something" in return. You feel good and positive about yourself, or if you've made a donation, to say a church or religious group, you may believe you receive the benefit of the almighty's grace.

    In this instance, donating to EoFF may provide the following benefits:
    better server, more pm space, admiration/acceptance/gratitude from staff and other popular members, a "Recognized Members" title.... etc. etc...

    So... really whenever I donate I'm always aware that there is a selfmotivate reason for doing so. Either for the emotional/mental/physical/etc benefit that comes from donating.

    Par example, when you donate you may be consumed with a feeling of generosity and goodness. You don't donate because it makes you feel like [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. Hence the benefit.

    Having said so, I don't donate money often, I much prefer donating my time which is just as valuable.

    Boldly go.

    Time sucks when you're trying to buy new software, though.

    NOCHEX
    Worldpay
    Authorize.Net
    2Checkout
    Moneybookers

    Just checked, and those are the other payment methods that vB3 allows for, although Cid would need to set accounts up for any of them if he wanted to use them. Again, if you wish to pay by one of these methods, contact Cid.
