Thread: Why Should We Donate ?

  1. #1

    Default Why Should We Donate ?

    Im not trying to sound rude, but why should I donate.
    I have been thinking of, but thus, I would like to know what my money would go towards.
    Feedback would be appreciated.

    I had no idea I was the 12624 person to sign up on this site.

    The money goes to Cid and the insane parties he throws. He doesn't put any money into the site's bills, infact, he forgets to do it! A real wonder of how this site is still up.

    The reason we're raising money has been very clearly mentioned, I thought.

    There is a piece of software that we think would add a fair bit to the site.

    It is a gallery software and it is intended to be used for a Fan Art Gallery. I forget what all B0B said it would do, but it would make uploading fanart easy for users, and quicker to see, as they only need be approved, and not necessitating all the trouble uploading and recoding pages would call for.

    The catch is that something so insanely cool is also insanely expensive, and it would seem that there is no free [beer or money] alternative, so we're doing this fundraiser:]

    I'm surprised all the people who post in the artists forum haven't jumped on this;.; They're obviously all callous fools who hold grudges against the html monkeys we have and want to put them through grueling coding agony!

    It takes a lot of resources to keep this place up and running. Cid isn't made of money.

    In the past, I've never once seen Cid ask for donations unless the ad banners failed to generate enough income to pay for the site. And even then, he rarely has ever asked for donations. Keeping a site like this running costs a lot; don't write it off so lightly.

    I would donate to a good site, like this, but I'm scared of the internet

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    Plus, donation isn't at all required. We're offering a bit of a perk for giving us money so we can boost the art portion of this site. I don't see any problems with that. It's really no obligation at all. Just something you can do if you want to.

    Cid's parties are paid for by people bringing stuff to contribute. I always at least bring some drinks and games, sometimes chips.

    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D
