Regarding the OT...I don't know if I like the idea. I think it could put some undue pressure on people to contribute or feel ostracized for not doing so. I thing the donation button is a great addition, but making it into a spectacle has a bad implication. If you want to donate, donate. You shouldn't need to have everyone else know that you donated to make you fell good about helping out ioi or the site.

You'll find most 'donations' actually get a lot of funding by embarassment or preasure, such as passing the plate around in a church.



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

I think it's a stupid idea. Donate because you want to donate, not because you want everyone to see you donate. Give incentives for donating if you want, but not putting your name up on a list somewhere...



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

 Exactly my point.  Thanks for clarifying. A good deed is a truly good deed when no one knows you've done it.  Besides, the only one worth impressing with how much you donate would be ioi...and I'm sure he'll know.

Conversely, official "membership" could come via a paypal donation. Note "member" in the profile on the left side under post count or something. What does one get for donating? I dunno -- a toasted cheese sandwich?

 How much do you have to donate for a toasted cheese sandwich? I'm kinda hungry.

He just meant because there's a hot girl in her avatar (who's probably not even her anyways) it attracted pervs so they clicked to see her profile... That's all.

 Someone is jealous XD.

@Soriku:  ROFL XD.

I think it's funnier she has 33 friends, assuming she didn't add them, quite the oppisite ;P

Donating.. hmmm I have a bit of spare cash in my paypal but I'd want something for donating, like some form of reward.
