Donations to the kitty...

[Kesa]

OK this has to be done. Today i noticed both Sheep Banger and Smerf upgrading to a premium membership and this got me thinking about the rest of you lot. It would be great if everyone who uses Amiga.org would contribute to the kitty to help keep things running smoothly but not all of us do. Why?

This is a public poll so those who don't will be named and shamed.

You missed one, "Yes, when I get a job..." :/

[Kesa]

Doesn't it say this on you profile?: " I'm a computer games programer and live with my long-term girlfriend in Nottinghamshire in the UK."
Did you really think you could get away with lying to me? *waves finger in disgust*   :madashell:

[AJCopland]

Doh, I should amend that to say: "I am _usually_ a computer games programmer, but am currently enjoying a lot of free time playing with my Amigas"

I said I donate to the kitty .  I don't technically but I do fork out however much it is for yearly subscription

[Kesa]

Actually that was what i was talking about. I thought they were the same thing.

donating to the kitty is just a way for people to make random donations from time to time.

I voted "No. I am a cheapskate."
But it's more like "No, I've just bought a house and no longer have very much spare money"

[AmigaNG]

I'm going to be honest and say, No. Why should i pay for a free service?

If the web site offered more than a news and web forum then I'd maybe consider it, for example I would definitely support http://www.abime.net with it great web forum, its magazine rack and hall of light section but no ware does it ask for donations!

Plus the fact is I do prefer AmigaWorld (which I would vote under “No, But been meaning to”).

I do support Donation, I've donated to JIT, Timberwolf, Aros Kickstart, AmigaPD, UAE and various others, just today notice $101 gone out for Viva Amiga and I'm buying an AspiROS USB stick from the developer.

So its not like i dont do my bit for the amiga community and I understand the importance of donations and of site like these its just that I've kind of decide that if and when I hit 1,000 posts on either Amigaworld or Amiga.org or any other forum I have used it enough to justify donating, if the website was really in trouble and needed to be saved then maybe I'd act, but considering the fact that you can get free web forums hosted (I know that could possibly mean more adverts) I would prefer it went down that route and the money go towards software/hardware that will help Amiga.

Plus I'm not rich, low income so can only do so much for what is a hobby.

I just recently donated my sanity to A.ORG.  Does that count?

Oh, and I DID pay for a year's subscription like less then a month before that.  So that makes me cool right?  We're all friends now, right?  guys?:nervous:

@ Kesa

You left out "Bribery & Corruption" that's the method I pay under (via a brown envelope, stuffed full o cash and left under a rock in the park)...

Whether it is on the poll or not, we appreciate the $$$ and are always willing to accept more...

[SysAdmin]

Don't be shy if you want to donate.

[Beast96GT]

What if you've donated in the past, but haven't recently?   Honestly, I'm not on here as much anymore.  That said, I plan to "feed the kitty" every so often, just to keep myself honest.
