Ok, would it be too much with a donation button with a "cost covered" countdown?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but maybe Myrthos does

Care to explain/elaborate ?

I mean that, for each year, we list the price - and how much of it has been paid through donations. That might serve as a little motivator for people donating.

I'd likely be inclined to donate a little more if I knew the specifics

It does though :

Do you mean, you'd want some kind of progress bar or something ?

Yes, just a simple overview

Like X/Y - where X is the amount donated and Y is the goal.

Doesn't sound bad. I think Arhu is working on the website nowadays, so might as well ask him to add it to his todo list ?

Some sites do a subscription option … I would love to do that. Set it up and forget it. $X/month or year … whatever.

Mike, you can make the donation recurring….
Once you click on donate it should let you mark the tick box.

Thanks!

I'll set one up, then.

Gamers with Jobs does a "donation drive" once a year. Every registered member gets a PM or two until enough money has been found.

What's gamers with jobs ?

One of the most influential hardcore gaming blogs / websites.

Hmmm. Never heard of it… But I'm not very familiar with gaming sites, except for this one.

I've never heard of it, either. <shrug>

Grrr, Paypal web page still insists I enter a UK county to make a donation even when I pick USA as the country. Did the queen annex us back?

Apologies, we thought you were the falkland isles.

Well restore order now, you just need to pay us a customer service fee of £22bn

Best alternative for google ads:

Its not as good as adsense but this forum looks alive and im guessing u have nice amount of pages views, this should pay for servers.

Is the only way to donate to RPGWatch thru Paypal? I would love to give you guys some cash for having the best gaming website but I do not do Paypal.

Yes, at the moment, that is the only way.
