Excellent, Iāll set it up on 28th payday
Welcome!
I have a monthly donation going, will try and up it a few quid. Would pay a monthly subscription just for the Rolling Hip Hop thread tbh. Also keen to make a donation now. Is there any way to donate aside from PayPal? Canāt get into my PayPal account for some reason
Set up a monthly via PayPal. Iāve wanted to help out for years, just not able to until recently.
Set up a monthly donation. Iāve been an irregular visitor and even more irregular poster over the years but the Music League has got me more involved and got me thinking itās about time I supported the site. Keep up the good work @sean
Should we do a raffle for DiS costs, like weāve done for the hardship fund in the past?
Anon poll:
- I would buy raffle tickets
- I would donate a prize
- I wouldnāt participate/donāt think itās a good idea
0 voters
Should have added:
- I would help to organise this
0 voters
(Also anon)
I was gonna also say maybe suggest Fantasy Euros, or predictor or sweepstake, with like Ā£5 entry, 50% prize fund 50% to servers
If anyone whoās voted wonāt participate/not a good idea would be willing to share some thoughts if they actually think itās a bad idea (in here or in a DM), it would be really helpful. But no pressure
Err i have clicked this by accident ffs
Anon polls are legally binding mate
I like this plan!
Done some polls here
dunno what the legality is about something like that? if itās under a certain amount is it fine? no idea
but you probably have to tread carefully with stuff that could be considered gambling / betting
Increased my monthly contribution. Thanks for keeping this place going
Seems like a lot of people are using Ko-fi. I used it the other day and it was easy to navigate from the perspective of giving.
PayPal might be the most efficient way in terms of minimal % taken by the service (itās how I do my monthly DiS sub) but a lot of people donāt/canāt use PayPal. Youāre always hearing about people getting their account closed, or getting locked out of it, etc, or people saying how the way to do it wasnāt clear.
Is there any reason not to have that set up as an option for recieving funds? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I havenāt heard of ko-fi before. Iāll look into it.
Iāll also do a Facebook fundraiser again soon.
@sean Is there any advantage to DiS if we use this new system instead of PayPal? (Iāve got a repeating PP donation atm.) Or does DiS get the money in the end so weāre all good?
PayPal donations come to DiS and will help the other half of our monthly running costs that arenāt the forums and also pay off some debts.
Discourse donations go to them direct for now. Depending how well the funding goes, that might change a little.
