    Maybe consider a Patreon or MakerSupport fund? If people were able to donate a couple of shekels every month it might be easier

    Wow, thank you so much everyone. A ton of donations have come in, sitting at 86% of costs covered in two days!!! :shock: You're all champions in my book :1st:

    I'll be able to sit down tomorrow and make a proper list of names and match them for updating to a "donor" status on your profile.

    I've already received a great list of great things that we need to work on. A VERY rough and totally not-a-promise list includes better user details (eg kenkyuusei, oshimen things), Forum layout, more permissions for staff to do their job, wiki48 permissions (will need to update the software on that too!), the upvote system needs some polishing, better threading, emoticon update... there is definitely more to look at but that's a good start I think.

    (I'll fight to the death to keep the banana emoticon though :banana: )

    Happy to see the wiki will get some attention. I hope to see the ability to obtain a wiki account without guesswork on who to contact and who can or cannot create one for us, since that one guy whose post it links to is inactive.

    That's a great idea. Would that be possible, @Mr Waffle ?

    Two dozens of people donating 1 or 2 pounds/euro/dollars a month could raise a lot of money over a year.
    Wasn't the bill 750 USD or something? Surely we can raise 60 per month among all the regulars that we are without it impacting much our way of living.

    As for myself, I'm waiting for payday to hit that donate button.
    Too many concerts and drag shows (and beers) lately. :^^;:

    Just donated.
    I've had so much pleasure from S48 these past 5 years (3 as a lurker) that it felt right to help out with things going forward. And thanks to everyone for all your hard work.

    I'm only an occasional poster but as a fan this site and the wiki are invaluable to me. I donated.

    I would like to see it become much easier to edit the wiki, which feels stale.

    Donated. Hope there will be more better updates on this server. If I see more things getting improved then I will keep supporting this forum going onward.

    donated from the email address I used to register.

    This forum is just too useful to me (not sold on the banana emoji, but OK:))

    Having sent a donation, what's the best way of getting the green marker on your profile? I sent a DM some weeks ago to @ithebigc but nothing has yet appeared.

    I'm pretty sure ithebigc have already gave badges to all the users that donated so if you don't see it on your profile, maybe check whether the payment went through or not and message him if the emails are different.

    I got mine the week before this (and I think some others lost it that week), so you might want to do what Matsui Hikari suggested. it's probably just an oversight.
