what do we value more? giving back to the people or wherever this money is going? people who donate $5 a month get a free site tracker (or whatever official members get), hooray. that doesn't mean that they're going to post here and give opinions on issues. they might be contributing to wherever the money is going, but that doesn't really mean they're .. contributing to the rest of the community.
where, specifically, would the money go? i am against the idea. |

then CB would be asking for money....and it makes them sound so gold diggers.......Everyone should have teh same advantage...some people might not be ablt to afford this kind stuff so we should just keep it free for everyone

QUOTE(suddenly she @ May 17 2005, 11:57 PM) where, specifically, would the money go? i am against the idea.  Paying for the costs to run the domain, to keep the site running. There are alot of sites out there that are created to help the viewers, and asking for donations is not a bad thing. You're using this for free, while the creator(s) are paying monthly (or however payment for the hosting is set up), why not help out, send maybe $1-5 to be a premium. If you can't pay for it, then don't, it's not being forced down. If you don't want to pay, then don't, it's as simple as that. |

i really don't like the premium idea, but a donation link sounds good.
i don't know where i'm going with my mindset here. |

I'm not sure about premium, but donation sounds like a good idea.
And for those who don't get it, you don't have to donate. It would just be nice. Donate $5 every now and then, keep a 5.0 ppd, be in a "Donators" group, get the official member privaleges, along with some others. Others like being able to close your own topics only. Maybe have VERY limited moderating powers in the topics they are most active in, but for this they must maintain a 10 ppd. And maybe somebody can come up with a different tool...like a layout generator  as much as I hate the thought of generators on createblog. Or maybe a myspace tester, I believe we have a xanga. Or maybe blogger, website, and livejournal, who knows? I think a donators group is a very good idea, I believe it would be hard to pay for this HUGE site by yourself....And oh, maybe by the staff list all the donators can be listed, so they are noticed for their contributions to keeping the community running. However, I am against the videos. |

Hm.. I would have to say that donations do sound nice, but Jusun has not asked for them... yet. Perhaps he doesn't need them to keep cB going? There are ads here, of course, which probably assists in maintenance fees. :P

^Maybe some of the people here who want to donate don't want a cb t-shirt. They know that they might not wear them so they don't want to be wasting their money. However, they want to contribute, but there basically is no other way.
