LD4all hosting fundraiser $618 raised! :D WOOHOO!!

oooh, 4 people gave all that :cool_laugh:

/me would give if he had some to spare :neutral:

But probably next year, if I can find work by then :wink:

girorekening :lol:

let me check my girorekening for some dough … oh yes, here are a few pennies.
Now let me find my pay pal password … doh!! I still have yet to fax them 2 photo IDs to retrieve it :tongue: … but hopefully I will soon :wink:

I recieve this seasons money somwhere in August and id like to add some this year.
I dont understand it all too well so i ask
We dont have euros here yet so my bank account is in polish currency.I guess the solution would be taking some money out and change them into euros,making euros bank account and then send them.
This is very complicated,especially for someone whos rarely in bank.
So my question is…is there any way you can recieve other currency than dollar or euro on your account?
Im asking this because if i wanted to do it the way i described there would be some money wasted for new bank account and also in rate.My donation wouldnt be too big so im looking for possible cheapest solution.

thanks for donating jack :happy:
Well, if you are going to transfer it to my bank account it shouldn’t cost you anything if you send me in euro’s. I dont know about conversion rate though. But if you send me something in polish currency i’d have to pay for converting it into euro’s so money is lost either way. I think if you just go to your bank with the IBAN and BIC and tell them you want to give x amount in your currency, they’ll figure out how much euro’s it is and send it. Make sure that the EU rates count, because i don’t know if poland is EU country? (they shouldnt charge any rates) because if you need to pay fee, it is cheaper to do it through pay pal.
You can ask your bank what it will cost, and if it is too much then don’t send it by bank. Paypal is than probably a better solution. Good luck and thanks in advance :smile:

lol OK DA, make sure you transfer some money to my paypal instead of my girorekening :razz: (which isn’t the same as bank account so that’s why i didn’t put bankaccount in order not to confuse the dutch :razz: ) big thanks :smile:

jarod: that’s OK :wink: be sure to save up :tongue:
Don’t feel bad if you can’t give anything. I know everybody gives so much already. Those who can give currency wise can help now but i’m already so thankful for everything everybody offers each and every day.

Lol pay more attention to the news :happy: . . . It is Eu now :content:

lol xetrov, ok, but i dont’ know if it currency wise also is EU. With the non fee transfer. I only know DING FLOP BIPS :lol: is the P from Poland? :grin:

I would immediatly give if i had any spare money :neutral:

But…I dont…Sorry…

Q read this. :smile:

lol xetrov :smile: see, no poland :tongue:
and it is FLOF, not FLOP! oh all that commercial money wasted on me. lol.

Yah, so they are EU member, but no euro … :happy:

Oh so much mess about one little Jack- sorry im by the computer only 2-3 days a week,couldnt response earlier.
Thx Xetrov!:slight_smile:

I’m guessing that most of the traffic here comes directly to the Forum Index, bypassing the Home page and missing the “Donate” button. And I’d guess that a lot of regular posters here do not read the News forum. If I’m right, this means there are a lot of people who are not aware of the current fund raising effort. How about putting something big and obvious at the top of the Forum Index page. Like:

SHOW ME THE MONEY! :cheer:

I think this is the first time I have looked at this forum.

I seem to be in a fund raising mode.

Another suggestion: Give those who donate an extra icon next to or below their username. The envy should boost donations. :hyper:

thanks for the suggestion dustmote :happy:

the extra icon etc is a good idea too, but i have to adapt the forum for that, it is not possible right now.

Duh! I’ve totally forgotten about this myself until you added the top banner on the forum. Good idea … and good incentive to dontate to remove the annoying thing. :tongue:

i’m still waiting on paypal, but things should be open soon.

I kinda like the idea Dust Mote suggest about a special icon. I’m sure Q could easily add a special “financial contributors” usergroup and add members as she wishes, and have a special icon in the list we see now for usergroups.

However, this lead to my concern that privledges are provided to paying members and I dislike this idea.
A token of apprieciation seems nice but not a separate group with better treatment than those that contribute differently. My concern stems from the impresion new visitors might have when they see finances involved with member rankings.

Giving money should be about having enough financial resources to contribute to a wonderful site and forum, but not all of us can. It should not be about privilidges and boosting your ego. Just my opinion though (and it seems DA’s also…)

yes i agree with you DA and xetrov :smile: And i don’t intend to have something with extra priveleges or anything. Therefore i also don’t want to create an usergroup for it.

you could have a small image that donators could put in their sig for a year… like the project badges at SeaLife
