Happy Birthday, ESA.

We should set something a bit more permanent up (donations page, stickies on every forum, etc) so people can donate regularly using the Paypal Direct Debit tool. I know you don’t like asking, and lots of people are strapped for money, but people can still make one-off payments if preferable. Could just keep it simple and offer, say, £1-a-week and £1-a-month options?

I had a nice brunch at Dishoom then had a lethal cocktail then watched Molly’s Game. Now home…

can’t we do the friends and family option?

I’m happy to do a monthly subscription thing. Sorry if it’s been talked about before, but have you looked into setting up some sort of optional paid for membership?

#34

Happy birthday Employment Support Allowance! I don’t think I’ve ever made a donation to DiS but I’m going to when I get paid :+1:t3:

#35

On the PayPal link there is an option to make a monthly donation, works as a de facto version of a paid membership/subscription I guess…

#36

HPBDESA!

I’ve set up my monthly donation. It’s not massive, but hopefully it all adds up and helps!

hb esa, currently having a lovely cup of chai from my DiS mug

Ah, righto, I’ll be sacking off my Patreon sub and replacing it with a PayPal one, then.

Yep :slightly_smiling_face: just wondering if there’s a better / more official option. As part of signing up or our accounts can something be set up to encourage more people to do it?

Failing that just email us @sean with your PayPal email so we can send as friends or family and you don’t have to pay charges!
