Redoing how we list and report donations
Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2009 1:31 amHey guys and gals. I've been thinking about it, and I think a better way to make sure our community survives and gets the necessary donations to keep the servers running would be to take any donations over $20 and apply the rest towards the following month(s).
Otherwise, the way we have it now, someone might make a very generous donation that they couldn't afford to do every month, and people get thinking we're doing well financially, then we fall on our butts the next month.
The way I see it, nobody here should have to donate more than $20/month. If someone donates more than $20, we should apply some of it to the future. So this month we had an anonymous donation of $60 that's one time, we should apply it as $20/month for November, December, and January. (this way big donors get their name on the donation page every month too
)
Also, everyone is welcome to stipulate how they would like their donation allocated, like $5/month for four months if they gave $20, etc.
Make sense?
