"Site Donations for Galaxy Supporters"

I'm not sure as to how the site is funded nor do I need to know. However, if donations would help the cause, I would like to give my input on this subject as I'm sure many of us are not familiar with how far we can go with "asking" for donations?

That being said, instead of "asking" for a "donation", how about a specially designed perk can be given if you donate?

If I recall correctly, ET gave out VIP status for certain donations 🤔, or maybe I'm mistaken this with the F-150 forums I'm at..

If the devs were able to add something on to a current member/users status for any donation given, or, certain amounts donated can acquire different levels of stat(s)/perk(s) etc.. I think some sort of small perk whether it's a badge/emoji, different color username, something to point out or say I donated would get more people to donate as well..

For example, If I was to have a money bag 💰 emoji next to my user name when a person scrolled over it they would see (whatever is decided) Site Supporter, Galaxy Contributor, I Donated, VIP, etc..?

The donating user can include there username when sending there email and the amount they want to donate. Once the devs or whomever can confirm the payment was processed, either the Admins, moderators or whatever works best can add the 💰,🤑 "perk"..

Maybe there's a lot more to this or it's not allowed but I'm just trying to throw some ideas out there if contributions would help support the cause any..  

I would hate to see this site disappear like the rest 😥..

Cheers🍻
D

There was a time when you got the VIP status for a certain time; depending on the amount of the donation.
This disappeared after a couple of years.
Because we are a public torrent site; giving perks to people who donate, like a special part in the forum, a VIP status or a special status icon would make us partly private. It would also add a extra workload for our mods as they have to monitor basically 2 seperate forums.
Because donating is a free choice it doesn't make you special in any way.
Some can afford to donate but can't because they don't have BC, some have BC but don't want to donate and others want to but just can't afford to.
Because of that it wouldn't be fair to give a special treatment for the soul reason that we are all equal here.
The only 2 statuses we have for members are member or trusted member.
You start as a normal member and will stay like that if you are not active in the forums and comment section.
If you are active and helpful you'll be rewarded with trusted status as appreciation and to show others that if they have any questions they can ask them.
So I doubt that there will be a any change in that anytime soon.

I personally would choose no special recognition for donating to TGx. While I fully, completely support and love this site...a donation would be something that I did, no expectations. I mean, TGx has it all. I already feel like a VIP just for being a member 🥳🥳💯🏴‍☠️

Have a great day 👋🙂🥰

I agree 100% with what you said..

Just to be clear, I wasn't looking for anything in return if some think otherwise.

I was only making a suggestion with an Idea to help boost donations (if need be) as a precautionary measure in fear that not enough revenue was being brought in to maintain site stability..

Does donations play an important role for this site to operate? That's really my only concern.. I would hate to loose this site like the others is all..

Cheers

I dunno who the others are but fear not DsMods:_trusted_user::_male: :_party:_O:-D:_pirate
It's a numbers game....the more members/uploads we have, the more popular we become...then the advertizers become interested and pay so michelle, who lives just a coupla miles away and wants to hook up, can pop an addy here and that is what mostly maintains the site running costs.
Donations are welcome but not a regular income you can count on...adverts are...sheety as they may be and disliked by most, they actually keep us afloat most of the time:_party:_party:_O:-D

I agree with you as well but I think you missed the idea behind this..

If this site doesn't rely on donations then none of us need to worry about money being an issue.. However, if it does, I think this would help bring in more revenue is all I'm saying.  

Cheers

:_:-)LOL "pop an addy" sounds like me working an 18hr day..!:_:-)

Okay so we have "advertisers" covering costs, michelle lives close by, and when needed stops in pops an addy then takes care of business..

I run my own business but it has nothing to do with computers or networking of any sort so I wasn't sure how any of this worked..  

This is good to here and I feel better knowing this. Thank you for that relief!

Cheers
D

Very interesting I'm gonna try that now.

Does leaving off the ad blockers script blockers etc. help in anyway? I will leave them off if it make a difference.

If you do as Bandit said and enter as a guest with no blockers on then yes you will make a difference, you will see ads and the Galaxy will see the pennies.

That's good to know and I've been meaning to come back to this..

So yesterday I turned off ALL my blockers like B4ND1T69:_trusted_uploader::_sitefriend::_sitelover::_junkie::_kitty::_sun::_turtle: said. However I only seen 1 ad (image attached)..

I then seen someone posted a question in site problems and asked what it was doing there.. I also left a reply on what they reported as well, I thought this was the ad..

This is all I see and according to the person who commented this popup is new? "NEWS Flash keep your money etc." Only AD I see?


Image error

Because you're still logged in you will not see ads, you need to come in as a guest. Do not log in.

As for the News Flash thingy, this can be blocked with your adblocker (block elements)

Got it..  Opened new private window added site to allow popup up list and turned off blockers.. See "Netflix Premium" and  "5 in 1". oh now I spotted a Disney for 14.09 for year.. That's not a bad price..!    

These ads aren't bad and are well placed.. Nothing popping out or interfering with searches and becoming annoying as of yet..

I can manage this no problem.
