I dunno what the heck this is, but it sounds like a good idea, atleast until paypal gains more credibility

An IPMO is like sending money through mail. The only differance is that if the money gets lost or stolen the Postal Service is responsable for it. They give you your money back or pay the money themselves. Phade (or who ever) waits in his house and the mail man will give him a check with the amount of money you send (just like receiving a package). You just need the money (no credit card needed) you will send and the payment to send the check.

And everybody is happy.

<--------- look how happy Phade is

((i havent read the whole thread, just the first and last page))

Well I like the last idea of money ordering. I am assuming you are in america, and I am in Canada, and well...If i sent you a Canadian dollar through the mail i don't think you would be amused (what about a twoonie?).

If you could limit the amount of downloading per day, i know people would pay more. As a fresh graduate from high school, I can tell you its really hard to convince your parents to let you borrow their credit card to pay people on a site so they can waste more of their lives in front of a computer...So if there is a system through the mail that would be better!

But now that I am out of high school, and in college, (and have an allowance, how sad is that) I am willing to donate a bunch to help out (Guilt is a wonderful thing for you guys lol).

Anyway, a (simple) postal payment system is my vote.

You are aware that any Canada Post outlet lets you send money orders in American money, right?

Any suggestions?

I really dont know....lal i know is that the things that are being offered right now dont really appeal to me. If i wanted to know if ive downloaded an amv already all i would have to do is go to my downloads. super search sounds ok but it really isnt an upgrade from regular search. No google ads? well i can live with google ads its no big deal to me. I can see ways around not donating and i can see ways that donating would help. but as a creator i really dont see any reason to donate except that ppl would maybe download more if i did and that the site will stay up.

If we're unwilling to curb the privlages of non-donaters, how about making every site improvement from now on donater-only? If we can get half the stuff on the list done in any reasonable amount of time, the diferences between the 2 states of being (donater and leech) would be more and more noticible over time.

Assuming you define a "site improvement" as any sort of internal or external improvement, doing that would eventually entail running two different versions of the site.

Why bother with that difficulty?

There are already certain diferences in the site for donaters and non-donators... I was going more for any new options or features than things like proper database management -- That should be universal.

That doesn't answer my question.
