Vgchartz is my favourite site, its like the most awesome place on the internet for me and I really want to help make it better. If vgchartz had more money then surely it could be made even better with faster servers, more content and no advertisements for premium members?

All I really want in return for paying money is a special forum tag, some cool new user features, extra VG $$$ and no advertisements. The site is worth a lot to me and therefore its in my own best interests to pay money to make it a better place. Surely there must be others out there like me who really appreciate the good work of ioi and want the same as me?

So heres an open question: Would you pay for premium membership on vghchartz, just an informal poll really. I want to see if other people out there feel the same as me. Even if 200 people paid $10 that would be enough to rent another server and pay for extra bandwidth for coverage of things like live streams of E3 etc?

Paying more for extra services always ends up with those who don't pay getting less than they would have if the pay service was never offered. I am against it on principle and would not pay

I'm not paying for anything. That type of thing would make me leave the site. Free to play, or in this case use, but if you pay it's better... I HATE that crap. It's like all of those crappy online games you ads for, like outspark.

ioi has stated many times that his goal is to keep the service free for everyone.

However, if you really want to support the website, I suggest buying all your video games from the vgchartz Amazon store (which will be re-integrated in the future). You can get to the American store here - http://astore.amazon.com/vgch-20 - or from the clothing store here - http://vgchartz.com/merchandise.php

A portion of each purchase goes directly to ioi to help make this website better. Not only are you donating with each purchase, you get something in return. I've already donated well more than $10 to this website by buying all sorts of stuff that I would have normally. Also, as a FYI $2000 won't buy you all that much for any serious length of time.

Id spend say 5 bucks a month like totalfark for this site, i might even go to ten if it could be add free and a few other bonuses here and there

I can't buy from Amazon, New Zealand doesn't have a local Amazon site but does vgchartz ship the merchandise to my country?

Yeah I think he wants something in return for helping the site.

I'm all for supporting VGChartz. I consider it to be my home away from home when I'm on the internet. But paying for the services we have now? It seems fair, but since we've had access to these services for so long. None would be too happy to pay up. So the only feasible way for there to be a VGChartz premium service is if they added alot of new features. But I'd rather see new features being made for the majority, or everyone. Than a few individuals who pay for premium service.

On the other side, if there was a very visible donation button. I would be interested in moseying over down there.

You are actually buying from Amazon and I realized that you are from New Zealand well after I posted. Sadly, Amazon will not ship video games to Australia or New Zealand, but they do ship across all of Europe if you order from Amazon.co.uk

As for clothing yes, the pretty much ship world wide, but it'll run ~$10 to ship it. If you bribe me I might tell you ioi's paypal address

oOoOoo I like bribery! So I can has two items of clothes?
