Hi there!

A few questions:

1) Are the ads linked to a system where PFF gets more money depending on the number of clicks? If that is the case, I am sure members would be willing to check out a few links to aid the site.

2) You have a shop? Im sorry but try as I might I cant find it! Maybe the link to the shop needs to be made more prominent so that we can make purchases. I would happily buy something to show my colours and help the site if I could find the shop :)

Could someone post a link to the forum shop - I have no idea how to find it!

That's what I was talking about - everyone has the same privileges that allow them to use the board, but people who donate get extra ones like having their name in a different colour (wouldn't work here, obviously!) or different themes etc. I've been on a board that only allowed paid members to edit their posts, and one that only allowed paid members to change their names. Little things like that.

Yeah I do think that's a good idea maybe PFF points could be awarded too! Is there my size in Diagon Alley? I'm children's size! If there was I swear I would buy it! Also if anyone ends up knitting I will buy Slytherin beanie, scarf AND socks, I love woolen things even a jumper, as long as it all costs (sepeLrate items) $45

I really want to help PFF, and if I can I will promise to donate!

Oak thats a great idea. Im tinking the donate button is the best way to go, iv seen forums use this before and they have stayed a float because of it. Also it will give users that special little extra as a thanks for supporting the site!

We DID have a donate button and it didn't bring in so much as a penny...

How about this, if you bring back the donate button, set it up to pay with paypal, I will christen it with a virtual $5 bill. And I will do my best to get others to donate as well.

I don't know what sort of customizable stuff there is, but isn't sacrificing those things worth keeping the site and this community alive? This referring to my post on the first page suggesting a free-to-use forum. Personally, if we have to sacrifice a bit of flash, I wouldn't mind. Then again, I'm not a high maintenance person. Perhaps there should be a vote on the options?

I agree with whoever said that most people wouldn't donate because they're in school and don't earn much. I'm in that boat, and it is a sucky one.

Call me cheap, but I think keeping a forum pretty is the last of our worries. It's a bonus, but I thought people were here for the community, not the way the forum looked? Again, should we vote on it?

I'm not the boss, but... it looks like improvements on any shop or donation thing won't work. The main thing I'm worried about with ads is that there would be so many it would become trashy and override any aesthetic quality the forum had. Hm...

Okay, this seems somewhat silly, but would it bring in much if we all spent like an hour together just repeatedly clicking on adds?


I think it might be a little more to it then that...
