    It's not at all about the money, but the fact you become a non-donator after a certain period (when you did donate) just makes it seem like this is not at all a donation, but rather a subscription to a service, in which when you no longer pay your subscription your service ends. Now, this is not to say I don't like the idea of incentive to continue to support the forum, but i do believe both can be accomplished at once by doing something like I stated in my previous post.

    I see your point... Not sure how best to implement something like that though, because some people won't want that special title - it might actually put them off donating. At least with custom titles its your choice.

    Maybe some kind of donator's badge next to the avatar? Badge stays, custom title goes away afte 6 or 12 month.

    btw: i guess you could also buy my avatar as advertising space, just make me a good offer. where are you children of rich parents that don't know where to spend their money anymore because they have anything? this is your chance to get an exlusive status symbol!

    Not a bad idea. I'll look into doing that.

    Anyways, I'm sure you've all noticed now that the groups add-on has been purchased and installed - thanks to everyone who donated! :D

    Turns out truly private groups (with threads that everyone else can't read) are not a thing yet. Waiting for an update for that - dev says it will be out soon.

    I'll try to join in as soon as I can, Just don't have a paypal yet nor a credit card. So I'll need to check out how that works exactly. If Payment trough phone would be possible, I could easily chip in.

    You do not need a credit card, just an ordinary debit card, which should be available to even young teens in most countries. Paypal is also free.

    I'm barely concerned about custom titles! I donated to donate obviously. (Keep up the good work!) But I also donated for the "other" perks. Those should be very interesting as well.

    To best implement this idea, just add an option to donate where you don't receive any reward or recognition. Then people can donate "just to donate".

    It's for the game, not the forum and I think the net profit is lower than that.

    I'll donate as soon as my next check comes in (i spent $500 this week on twinkies!!!)

    also a extra perk: We get to choose one of the devs face and have them as a little badge

    So you have to subscribe? :/ I think a lot more people would do it if it was just a few individual dollars without any strings attached.

    Yes, but a website once you have made it doesn't support itself, it has strings.
