received a donation many months ago from our friend, goodman.
But now, I wouldn't put a Paypal donation button on the website for many reasons. The first reason is... how to say... "moral":, why should someone "donate" money to a gaming website when you can send them to the Unicef (for example)?
The other reasons are more practical: no more than 10-12 persons would donate something to the website, and while I'd immensely appreciate them, this wouldn't solve our problems. When it comes to the Internet, as you may have noticed, people expect to have things for free - adding to that, nobody clicks anymore on banners or stuff like that, so why should an occasional visitor who comes to a generic gaming website just to read a review or grab a cheat (they're 90% of our visitors) donate us some money? That's why I put the poll in the forums, where there are people who spend hours on the website everyday.
And I should remind you that the forums are just a part, a section of the website; it's the website that's going to die, because with no resources we can't offer content, with no content there's no reason to keep psfantasy.com up and running. If the website dies, the forums die.
But we are making everything too tragic here, after all the problem is simple!
We own a website. We want to offer professional content. Can we make enough money to mantain the server and justify our work? The staff will try to find a solution.
Now, all of you, enjoy psfantasy.com and ignore this thread.
