I just remembered why I don't like PayPal... they won't take my money.
Handy, thanks.zzo38 wrote:Here is the code for using it with Stylish
Wouldn't table format be better?WhoaMan wrote:We have had a few donations already. I have a crude ledger up at http://nesdev.com/donate/.
I agree I would think so too.Myask wrote:Wouldn't table format be better?WhoaMan wrote:We have had a few donations already. I have a crude ledger up at http://nesdev.com/donate/.
the current ledger is more of a temp one. I am working on a new database driven system for the main domain and will replace that static page when it is ready. a couple lines of CSS will make it more table like for bigger screens and similar to how it currently is on smaller screens.zzo38 wrote:I agree I would think so too.Myask wrote:Wouldn't table format be better?WhoaMan wrote:We have had a few donations already.

I myself am rather impressed with this as well. I personally did not want to try out the ads or donations and felt strange in doing so... but it has worked out well. the new parts should start arriving tomorrow and i should have the new server built Wednesday night. hopefully i can get it in place either this Friday or the following Monday. I should have pictures of both the old and new hardwarekoitsu wrote:Consider me very impressed that the donations were so high -- all for pretty much 1 site (I think) -- and that puts a smile on my face. I think we live in different times now, as had I applied this exact approach for Parodius as a whole, there is no chance in hell we would've gotten US$500+ donations, and I would have been chastised and lectured in full by every user/visitor/community member for it (re: "this is highly invasive" etc.). Remarkable how times change.
Note that this is because one particular campain has just been made to gather donations, and that there was no precedent on this. This probably won't work as well the next time, where people could say "I already donated" or whathever.koitsu wrote:Consider me very impressed that the donations were so high -- all for pretty much 1 site (I think) -- and that puts a smile on my face.

Hmm..unfortunately I wasn't following this and just caught up now. Are donations still needed or do you have everything you need? If more is needed I can help...WhoaMan wrote:We had three donations come in after that last post, we have surpassed the goal and are now at $749.45. Since we have reached the goal, the donate button has been removed from the corner of the forums. It looks like we should have our new server and get it up and running sometime between the 2nd and 9th.
thanks again to everyone who donated
Based on my experience with a few other sites, raising funds annually in this manner tends to be consistently successful.Bregalad wrote: Note that this is because one particular campain has just been made to gather donations, and that there was no precedent on this.
