Have you ever considered donating towards PokeCommunity?

I have, infact I will today. I have 20 dollars that I wont need at all. So I am donating 20 dollars sometime soon. I will also donate around Christmas time. ^_^

Is this not allowed? Someone told me they are 99% sure it will be closed.

Um... I have considered it, but then I couldn't figure out how I'd get the money through, as there is no way in Hell you're going to get me to tell my parents I frequent a Pokèmon forum.

No, I have wanted the colored username a couple times, and the cool profile. But no, I haven't.

The first thing I do when I get a Credit Card will probably be to donate to PC. I owe a lot of stuff to this website.

I did a while back, it wasn't much though. I'm going to donate some more, but I haven't really gotten around to it. : \

Mine know and I get $10.00 a week for chores. ^_^ I only donate because PC actually gives rewards. I am trying to get the PC email so yay. My mom still has to donate though. XD (With my money of course. I just don't have a credit nor debit card.)

Out of interest.. why isn't there a option along the lines of "I don't want to donate"? -.-

I don't see much point in parting with money for the sole purpose of couple of ego-boosting pixels on a site that doesn't have any significant impact on my life. I'm not a miser.. I just think it's pointless and think donations could actually go to a somewhat more worthwhile cause.

I really didn't think of it as anyone who could vote is a member and obviously likes the forum and doesn't want it to get deleted. ^_^

I have considered donating to PC many times, and I still take that stand to donate, but I don't have the money, which is sad, so like yeah. :[

But when I do have about $20-25, then I will donate. D:

I have to agree with you 100% right there.

D: Thank god for allowance. Would they let you if you had your own money? =3

I donated a while back, and I am going to donate again. I meant to do for awhile, but I wasn't sure that was possible that you can donate more than once. I owe a lot in this forum too. This is my favorite forum, and I want it to live and grow. ^^

I did, in fact I did it twice. I can't be bothered to do it a third time since both times I mailed the money and I realised how unsafe it would be for my money if I did it. So screw the third time. >_>

o_O Why didn't you just use PayPal like I am going to do?

You need a credit card to start a paypal account. :\

Anyway, I've donated before and will donate again, definitely.

Even if I did have a credit card, which I might get soon, my mum is really against financial business over the internet.

I don't think I'd be donating any time soon. I mean, I would like to one day, but I have no real means of donating, as I don't think my parents would actually let me donate to a Pokémon forum. XD;

I've considered it before, but I'm pretty much always broke since I don't get any allowance each week and don't have a job yet.
There's also the problem of sending the money across... all I have is Eftpos, no credit card, and there's not much money left on that either.

Oh, well I didn't know. XD I am starting to wonder if my mom knows (even though I told her) o.o;.

(This thread is fine, no reason to close it.)

Anyway, when I start making some money of my own I'll definitely donate to PC. It's my "home" on the Internet, and if sparing some extra money means keeping the bills paid and keeping PC online, of course I'd do it.

As of right now, though, I don't have a job. ;x Yet. Still hoping. XD; (At least I applied somewhere! <_<)

I donated maybe a year ago. I was only a tier 2 supporter(if tiers were used back then) until there were supporter benefits. Then I donated 25 :]

I donated twice, seeing as this place is like the most I;ve felt at home on the internet, plus I've been really impressed with the staff and how well this place is run. I just helped keep it running as smoothly as I could. the perks were, well, just perks. probably when I get some extra money I'll do it again.

I wouldn't donate because I wouldn't be allowed to...

Though I did get Nan and Pop to put money towards another site (adventure quest... to get guardianship)... which I rarely visit, so I don't think they'd want me to donate to PC. And plus, I could actually leave in the future so...

Shiranui

Nica plays/played Adventure Quest? Wow, I didn't know that...

I have sort of considered it in the past, and I always thought that it would have been cool to have a green username. At least I think that it was green before. It's just that I was too scared to ask my parents, even though I would have payed back and everything.

Now, I don't think I'll ever donate. I doubt that my parents would approve in any way, plus, as Nica said, I could leave PC. I have left before (without telling anyone, and I still feel horrible about that ;-;), and it was only through sheer boredom (after six months or something) that I came back. Though, maybe if I get a credit card, and I'm still active in PC, I might donate or something.

I've wanted to donate and I actually could, if I wasn't lazy and I'd actually put money on my credit card. XD;

So yeah, my username will be purple in the near future, once I get some money to put on my credit card. ;<

The first $50 I make goes to PC, once I get a credit card and another for Internet purchases (need one so if the number is stolen online I can merely cancel it w/o much problem).

The extra perks are nice but this website needs to stay alive!

Kayleigh
April 13th, 2008, 06:46 AM
I would love to, but not just because I want a purple username. XD Since I've been here a while and this is still my favorite forum, it'd make me happy to know that I actually helped keep it alive longer. If I ever get a credit card then I probably will send some money, even if it's only $20 or so...

I've donated once already since I happen to love this forum a lot. I also have quite a good sum of money in my bank account that's been picking up dust for months and hasn't been used. I'm actually thinking of donating again with a slightly bigger amount than my last.

Went
April 13th, 2008, 08:01 AM
Oh, yes, I have thought on it and I'll probably do it when I get my credit card next week. I mean, I have a good money sitting in the bank, and thanks to the €-$ difference, now donating would be cheaper for me.

It was funny when I typed it.
April 13th, 2008, 08:05 AM
I've considered it for the extra pm storage… but I don't want to create a paypal account xD.

Sana
April 13th, 2008, 08:07 AM
I might donate someday. I keep thinking about it, especially now that I have a bank account of my own. It'd be nice to help and all. I'd need to make sure I'd have the money first, though, and I'm kind of shy about buying stuff online. XD;

Gah, I don't have a credit card. x_x Only a debit one. If I ever did get one, and a Paypal account, and someone convinced me that I wouldn't lose all my money, then I would consider it seriously.

You can use PayPal with a debit card. My mom does all the time. You just have to have money in your account or the card is declined. Unlike a credit card where you need no money at all. And how would using PayPal make you loose money? Im curious and scared at the thought at the same time. o.o; Sorry if I sound "bratty".

I've considered donating because I wanted my name to be Green lololololol (When it used to be in a better colour)

Otherwise, I'm using money for other things. Maybe when I'm older or I majestically became rich.

o_O When you donate your name becomes purple and your member group becomes PC supporter. Green is assistant administrator.

I literally just now donated $20.00! Can't wait for my purple name! ^_^

She means that the PC Supporter name colour used to be an italicised green. It wasn't always purple. o.o;

It's the fact that it's over the internet that makes me hesitant. v_v I dunno, maybe it's because I don't really know Paypal yet. I'm gonna go look into it..

I've been here what? Joined at the end of January, so three/four months.

My first day here I visited the donation thread, yadayada. Being a boastful newb, saying oh I'm going to break the top amount of donation. Heck I even annoyd a Staff Admin (Animadversion) asking about the top donation. (what a great first impression) Anyways, in that thread I was taught something, about how to make a name for myself instead of just donating, as I thought donating would make a name for myself. Anyways, I havn't donated yet, and I expect too quite soon.

I have to go to the bank and cash some checks and mail my donations.

Here at PC, I'm an extremely fortunate member, sheesh I'm pretty popular too. xD Anyways, from day one I've loved this forum and wanted to donate. And hopefully get it in soon.

PC Support "purple people" get plenty of benefits, and I feel due to my already short history here that I'd donate even if they didn't have any reward to them.

So yeah, I'll be donating soon enough. ;D I think my mother would be fine with me donating... It's my hard earned money after all so I'll be donating wether she supports or doesn't support me in it. Hopefully. :x

Heh I understand. But you don't give your information to PC just to PayPal. PC just gets the benefits. XD

Paypals one of teh safest way to pay over teh web. As well as it being guaranteed for money to reach one destination, disputes can be solved via Paypal mods and they can refund money if the other person is being stubborn/ lying.
