Alright, now the portal is back up and running again. Pretty much all that's left is to fund is the streaming plugin.
People are idiots for donating? Just asking.what about "idiot with too much money"
I am actually deliberating on a possible fundraiser for Mach Entertainment. Possibly a Battlerite tournament with a buy-in of $5 donated to the site(Still trying to figure out how much I want it to be). Winner of the tournament gets a chance at a steam game.Surely our Mayor will post his thoughts on economic reform soon.
Is there any chance for the portal to show the users online, the recent activity and everything that it had before? I enjoyed it when the recent threads were front and center.Alright, now the portal is back up and running again. Pretty much all that's left is to fund is the streaming plugin.
I'm open to this and was thinking of doing something similar. Donor's already get a green banner with donor in it as is but we can do some cosmetics for usernames. Custom titles wise what were you thinking?What's your opinion on custom titles for donations? Fun cosmetic perks donating a certain amount.
I'll look into that.users online, the recent activity and everything that it had before?
Thank you very much. I'm glad that it's returned back to normal.I'll look into that.
As far as custom titles go, I was thinking that it could be up to the individual? Or have a basic donator title at a $5/10 (I'm no idea of the cost of running the servers) or allow a custom one at a higher donation amount?I'm open to this and was thinking of doing something similar.

+1One thing about this system though that I'm not a fan of is that while I'm okay with rewarding donations, I feel every donation should be appreciated equally.
I mean, there already is a tangible benefit to donating, we help Recon keep the server on and active. Adding some cosmetic stuff really wouldn't hurt anything, I don't think. It's pretty standard on other sites that have donation stuff set up. And if people in this community in particular, after all the years we've been together, are gonna start further dividing people up just because someone donated and got some color/a fancy name for themselves, then I dunno what to tell you. I find that highly unlikely.just serves to divide communities when there's suddenly tangible benefits to donating
Can you get me some details or a screenshot? Highlighting text in posts and in the text editor appears to work fine for me.I can't see the highlight.
Outside of the silly title idea I'd basically agree. Though I think every idea so far has been more in the vein of having your name in the credits. Giving server-related benefits, a special forum section, or anything similar are things I'm absolutely opposed to.i just feel it fits with the self-deprecating and edgy vibe we have going around here sometimes. and also, i think that giving rewards for donating is pointless and just serves to divide communities when there's suddenly tangible benefits to donating. having your name on the front page of the forum is plenty.
