The site does always seem to be lacking funds at times, and I think adding a donation button might help. It won't hurt, for sure.

A site this big would most certainly get at least some amount of donations from people. We have millions who come to the site, after all.

Thoughts?

That would be good, but I don't think many people here are in a position to donate. I would but I have Pay Pal.

No PayPal I mean, sorry for that. Go talk to an administrator about this.

for donations you would have to use some kind of credit card or paypal i'm pretty sure you cant get a credit card till your 18 most people on here are 11-16 years of age so that idea would be a fail i think

Unless individuals loaded with cash make hefty donations, a large majority of funds will not be very significant. Each game Dan buys costs at least a thousand dollars, or a maybe a few hundred. Since most people will only be willing to give up like, 100 bucks, tops, donations may not be significant enough to AG.

Online donations aren't meant to be large. Typically they are pretty small. $5, $10 etc. It wouldn't hurt at least donating a little money.

Good point, beastahayes

However, it does take a considerable amount of time to make a monitary transfer, I think. You'd probably have to go through a bunch of legal stuff just to donate five bucks, and it'd be an unnecessary hassle that most people would endeavor to avoid.

Although there is a store, it's not directly donating, but you're still giving AG money... plus you get a cool sticker :P

I'm sure you can pay with PayPal... is that what you're asking?

Oh... then ask staff about it... I think you should be able to pay by paypal.

Yeah, that would be the best thing to do.

Isn't PayPal pretty much the ONLY method of payment online? Or at least the main method.

It's the most common, as far as I know. And probably the easiest.

Say about 50,000 active accounts each donate 5 dollars.


There's a problem: AG doesn't have 50,000 active accounts. Even if we did, only a small portion of them would donate any money to help fund the site.

So if this donation button is added, it should be for everyone to donate, not just for members.
