I'm asking because:
a) nobody from the Codex donated for about 3 years, now
b) I want to know before I code in this entire ad-disabling-for-donators system
Potentially, a donate-and-get-perks system would come with an ad-free site and a custom forum avatar & rank on the forum, though we would reserve the right to dumbfuck you even if you donated. Overly annoying avatars and/or ranks will still be rejected of course.
So. Would anyone here be willing to shell out a few bucks (the ballpark figure we're throwing around is $15 for a year - all of which will be collected by our gracious server owner, Taluntain, no reimbursing domain registration fees for me boo hoo hoo - Taluntain offered to reimburse me for that, but I'd rather just play the pennyless student here on the forums) if it came with perks?
Potential other benefits to donation that I could code in:
- access to pre-print content so that you can give us feedback on articles prior to publication
- ops in #rpgcodex
I'm also thinking: "hey, maybe we should do a joint donatorship of DAC/RPGCodex/Terra Arcanum/CO8, since they run on the same server" but that's still up for discussion. Possibly extend the above IRC benefit to #fallout as well, but obviously I'll have to discuss this with Deathy and KoC first.
Anyway, use the poll to let me know whether or not you'd donate if it came with benefits. Use the thread for perk suggestions. No kingcomrade option this time, though you're perfectly welcome to suggest "if enough people donate, we'd like to see some humiliation visited upon KC".
As always, talk of ad blocking software here will result in me being severly disappointed and, possibly, calling your parents to discuss this transgression.
