Donations to PMC, a fund for the benefit of all.

Hey guys, I've had this idea for a really, really long time. Like, since the first crash of PMC happened when I was on here. Since the website has it's limited bandwidth, data usage, and all that pizazz, I was thinking of having a donation button somewhere on the site. We all hate lag here, so why not pitch in to a more well run site? The server would be better, and with all the increasing members, there would have to be some drawbacks on the server's efficiency.
Of course, not everyone could donate, but the people who could would help Cyprezzy out with the money. Ten donations of $10 would be enough to increase something on this site. I don't know, it's just an idea.
For rewards, I guess it'd be in chat and/or in the forums. There would be a small "Donator" nameplate in the forums, and an asterisk in the chatroom. Just an idea guys, let me know what you think.

I would defiantly donate. The point of the nameplate kind of lets others know that you can donate, and encourages others to donate. I would defiantly be willing to donate $20+

To think I was about to yell at Ani for necro posting. One day.

Hehehehehe......
But, in all honesty:
Donations- Good.
Nameplate, insignia, coloured name, etc- Bad.

I like the idea, but I want some kind of benefit. Like... I don't know. Colored name sounds like the best idea. Maybe a separate chatroom for "Premium" users.

If donations were ever taken, they should not give the user any sort of 'rank' or 'title'. We already have enough issues with people complaining about XP and rank, the last thing we need is to add another one just so people who begged their parents for $5 can show off.

This, this and so much this.

Also, I've seen many glitches popping up now.
1
Indeed.
1
It's only a matter of time before the number of users and projects on here exceed the site's limit. I think he should consider this.
1
Yeah, I've been experiencing a lot of slowness and mysql errors on pmc lately.
1
If Cyprezz wanted help with the site, he would have accepted donations a long time ago. It's been brought up before, but nothing has been said about there being donations in the future.
1
I really think it should be needed to improve the quality of the site, and the other feature is that many people would donate w/o getting bonus features.
1
I see.

Just giving it a bump.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:

Erm, what?
1
^ I know, others were talking about giving to charities and stuff.
1
great idea and i will donate
1
OR, he can use the money to improve the servers.
1
That's the main idea of donating. The excess money could/would be saved for future use, and maybe even a bigger update.
1
I think this could be a good idea for boosting the website as long as the rewards, if there are any aren't to over the top.
1
If he didn't want it, he could donate it Minecraft itself!
1
And it's sounds like he doesn't want so much money but he could like give it to Charities and stuff. :s
1
I agree. Although I cannot donate, i'm sure A LOT would.
1
Thanks guys, for the feedback. Cyprezzy has done so much for all of us, we should give back a little. Keep the ideas flowing, guys.
1
Yeah..just make a PayPal you can donate too or something.
1
I would donate with or without a benefit package.
1
Eh, donations are meant to be a gift. Not like you're buying a title.
1
Support.
Also if you donate $5+ you'd get a new title option that would say PMC donator and maybe a different color name.

I would donate indeed.

I heard some of the moderators saying that cyprezz would rather not do this, but I think its great. It would be nice to give back some, after all, the site is constantly growing, and therefore is more subject to lag and crashing.
1
This could, in theory, really improve PMC's performance. Less lag and other little crashes would be terrific, as would making the Uploaders less.....well....Saving, Saving, Saving, Saving all the time without results

This is a great idea. Even though im unable to Donate I still like the Idea, it would help the Website more and people will be more willing to help when there's rewards for doing so.
