no, i'd rather the others responded like that other than huge drama queen-esque out-bursts that don't really get you any where.
I'd be more open to a post like yours then lets say giginger's.
:) thanks!

no, I'm sure you don't try hard enough.
you come up with the statement that these donations have negative consequences yet you cannot give any arguments for that statement.
I just don't see what you're on about. so what, some people can post pictures? that feature is mostly used for dumb fun anyway.

the difference being ofcourse that I wouldn't advocate what you are advocating.
I'm not necessarily against your plan, though. but the fact is that it's hard enough getting people to contribute for a year, let alone two times a year.
I also think that most of the people who buy premium accounts do so because of the donation itself, not so much being able to post pictures for a year.

This is stupid. We're not half way through the month and we've almost broken even already, in donations alone. Why do you feel we need double the money?
You've really thought too much about this.

I think it will all work out better if more people click the ads on a daily basis.

Maybe some sort of initiative like, this xltronicon 06 idea could sway more donations. If people on the board knew eachother better and took steps to become more than just an internet community do you think they'd be more inclined to donate?
Well when I can i'll donate what I can.

did you also read about the contingency fund bit? Are you saying things are going to stay rosy and merry for ever. Are that nieve? Also profits can be used to make XLT even better.

yeah, but each of us should click the ads five times a day. the reason is that google probably reacts if a site has 5758760985984 clicks a day due to them creating some bot that auto-clicks everything.

How would profits be used to make XLT better? Surely its just a question of Phobia finding the time to do it.
I don't see why you take it on yourself to address these issues. Phobia seems to be doing okay atm, he's got the adverts creating new revenue, I'm sure that if he was worried about the funds he would say so.

Fav-
I'll gladly donate $90 to get that troll (Xeron) quietened for a week with a B7. That way he gets more money donated to the site to have his blog and I'm given a rest from trying to decipher what he actually means in his serious posts and will no longer have to wade through garbage trolling posts which only seems to say ":)"

did anyone stop you from voicing your opinions? no, they're just stating different opinions (among them is the opinion that your opinion wasn't a good one). as far as I can tell, thus far, no-one's "angry on the internets," and you shouldn't take opinions as attacks.. at least not yet.

yeah, I was just saying that if everyone (not only you) clicked the ads, phobs wouldn't have to decrease the time a premium membership lasted.
also, if montly income goes over 100$, he transfers the excess to next month. if it goes over by a lot, he could probably "award" those few members that actually contribute to the site with premium memberships or something.

Well actually it's more they way they present their opinions across. Is there really a need to swear uneccesarily. Look at vp's post, he basically cited what giginger, clint and others are saying yet did he swear once? NO he didn't.

yeah, but don't mind if people swear: it doesn't affect you or their opinions in any way. Instead of getting stuck on swearing, "answer" their opinions or else the entire discussion will swing off into another direction as it has now.

Yes he did. But what does that mean? I'm agree with others here because one day I'll donate for this site too and I want to donate $10 not $20 for a year. As giginger said, Phob the past few months has had the hosting paid, that's enough. In another thread then, Phobia said also that if it wasn't for premium members xlt wouldn't have existed at all today. That means he is glad with the current donations. Why paying more?

Xeron you don't seem to have taken on board what people are saying...
There isn't a set amount that you are allowed to donate. If people want to donate to become a premium member they have to pay at least $10 but they can already donate more if they want to. What is the point of making it so that you HAVE to donate more to become a premium member? There isn't a maximum limit of $10. If people want to pay more, they already can. Increasing the minimum amount you have to donate for a year's premium account won't encourage more people to pay more, if anything it will do the opposite.
When people swear in their replies it is often out of frustration that you're not understanding properly what they are trying to say. It's not always a personal attack so don't always take it so personally. I think that if you were also less personal with your replies and stopped name-dropping, you'd find that responses would stop being so hostile
