How much would you donate to this site for improvements?

I’d like to donate but, being only 16 years old, I don’t have any of my own money.

I will pay whatever it takes. Anything to kill the spammers

Would a payment be required for admission to the site, if this was the case you should be able to get away with less than 2 bucks a pop.

I would gladly give that much. This site is the foundation of the international AA community. 'Nuf said.

At what point will we be notified how to put dollars into the tip jar?  You already have 4 people or so willing to put in $25 or $50 or more - get the money out of us while we’re here!

Count me in for a contribution.

Same here

since $50 is the cap, then perhaps 5 in all:

Diamond $50
Platinum $40
Gold $30
Silver $20
Bronze $10

Or as you suggested
Gold $50
Silver $25
Bronze $10

Great idea.  That will certainly encourage contributions even more.  Just let us know when and how to contribute.

I’m ready to make my donation…diamond level, but i do have some concerns.

How will you handle online donations, transactions must be secure.
Once we start down this road what regulations will the site be subject to?

If we do this the site goes from just an informational site to one where money is passing hands.  I’m no expert, but I do know Libs, if it moves, tax it.

I’m sure the feds have rules governing this (they can’t help themselves) so before we jump in head first let’s make sure we know what we are doing.

@djensen:

You’re paying for a virtual good, the badge that appears on your profile. As of now virtual goods do not require sales tax. You could also argue that you’re voluntarily paying for a service. Board Game Geek already does this sort of thing too.

As for income tax, I’ve been filing taxes for the earnings on this site since I put up the ads.

Sounds good then, how do we go about making a donation?

Never mind, I see the link, my donation has been made.

I think I donated $25. Did it go through?  It probably did.

Assuming all the kinks are ironed out. You might want to draft an appeal and make it more prominent (ex. message everyone, sticky it, or making the donation button really big for two weeks and add a brief description of the fundraising appeal).

If you donated it takes a few days before administration gets you that icon to show it by your name.

I suggest you all do it and PM Djensen. That way he has a list since your names wont be the same as the names used to pay pal with.

My donation has been made.  Money well spent.

Made a contribution. Have enjoyed this site so much and it has been a great help to me as I participate in the Axis&Allies hobby.
