Title: Should we have a donations list?

Should we have a donations list?

as you may have seen in the "we're moving" thread the entrance page for www.dubcc.com now has a link where people can make donations though paypal. several kind people have donated so far.

its been suggested by someone i know (not connected to wcc) that it might be a good thing to put a list of contributors up (but not with how much they donated).

how ya'll feel?

uhh let me break out the dictionary for ya..

Quote
donation

n 1: a voluntary gift (as of money or service or ideas) made to some worthwhile cause [syn: contribution] 2: act of giving in common with others for a common purpose especially to a charity [syn: contribution]

no one -has- to pay anything! if you feel like you want or can give something back then its much appreciated, if you dont then dont.

what this thread is about is whetehr those who have donated should be put on a contributors list.

i dont really wanna spell out 'why' coz it'll feel like i'm laying a guilt trip down.. ya know?

if you wanna contribute then do so, its much appreciated.

I dunno, I just can't see myself ever donating.  Yup, since I'm not donating, somebody else better donate right now to make up for me not.  (LOL!)

I think it's a great idea.  Eventhough I hate PayPal cause they fuck up the exchange rate.

I don't know how anyone can say no.  


Edit:  How much do you pay for this each month, if you don't mind me asking?

I'll donate but how about if your do, something like the persons karma is boosted to a positive # and cant be reduced. Bastards always giving me - karma lol.

I read the question wrong.  
I'm for the donation system but indifferent to having a list of people who donated.

cool... well i think maybe its a good idea to do it, but i wanted to make sure with those who have, and once its sorted - theres a precedent. ya know?

there never will be donation for karma, or not being able to be banned or anything like that.

the donations go towards the costs of running the board. no more.

I think it'd be a good idea to list the donators.
