Would you have a specific way your would want your donation to be spent or would people vote on that, too? Just curious since WP is not a nonprofit organization, like AWN and ASAN, the other two voting options.

Good for you for being so generous, too, by the way!

I would hope if Wrongplanet were to win Alex would spend the money on the bills, not on shoes.

I have AS and need money for vet school. It may be your pet I'm saving someday.

I don't understand this Zach. Weren't you against Alex and his donate button a few years ago?

Please explain your change of heart.

What Can I Do To Support AspieWeb?

I am not seeking donations, as I don’t like the idea of handouts.

All of this sounds fishy to me, but I also will gladly pass along 25% of all contributions sent to my own PayPal account!

Well I hope wrong planet gets it, cuz this is an awesome site and I am too broke to donate monthly.

All is well here at WrongPlanet, and those of us who cannot help pay its expenses do not need to be concerned about them.

That is not the question here. The site says donations are not sought, then this thread shows up saying "Wrongplanet May Get Lots of Money" if people nevertheless *do* donate ... and WP does not even need the money. Overall intentions might be just fine here, but this thread still smells like solicitation.

No... theres advertising on the site that generates a hell of a lot more revenue then any donation I ever received. People can donate to the site if they like what they read or not. The reason I'm giving money back to the community starting this month is because the website is starting to pay for itself finally and I feel like its time to start giving back.

Your intentions may be fine here, but you smell very trollish. I've already explained it to you once yet you say NO THIS IS HOW IT IS..... its not. You don't know what your talking about.

Cool your jets. This thread smells like someone is using a promise of money to WP as a way to get contributions.
