Donated. :hug:

I agree with everyone who has said some sort of progress bar/occasional reminder to donate would be cool. I like this place too much not to help out!

$5 gives stickers, higher amounts yield other merch up to whatever etc.
Given the variety and character of the active users...I'm sure there will be hosted builders willing to do a limited run of their pedal of choice, and others willing to donate various gear and services to the pot.
Fuzz-a-thon!

I had a lot more to add, but I couldn't form it into coherent sentences. I'll try later. Basically, I concur.

they provide that, but you're the dirty one.
Never mind that Google Adsense was giving us ads for Asian mail-order wives, er, slaves.

Thank you all for the support, brainstorms, and donations! Seriously, thank you all SO much. :joy: :hug: The donations have paid for this and next month's server costs, which is amazing!!!

:ilf:

Beyond host/server costs, it's hard to quantify time-costs...I'm happy to donate the countless working on the forum (I'd seriously do it for free if money wasn't a concern), but it does take time away from FuzzHugger work that I / my family really relies on. And I'd like to spend more time and money on improving ILF (routing out bugs, fixing code, new features like optional Facebook integration). So donations help toward that, especially going forward without Adsense.

Despite the loss, on the bright side, no one's looking over our shoulders.

If we can't plan smoke-ups on ILF, that is a violation of OUR policy. A line must be drawn, sir!

I should've turned to you guys in the first place and avoided any group enforcing content restrictions, but I thought, hey, if I can get it from Google... I've never wanted to ask ILFers for anything. And you kicked ass anyway. I love this place, and I'm glad you love it.

Hey Tom, maybe we should ask Pornhub to kick in and sponsor us in exchange for advertising on our site. I'm sure our "sexually explicit content" wouldn't offend them. :lol:

You should consider moving the donations-thingy up to the top of the site so it's more visible. Maybe people would remember it better and donate more often. Anyway, glad to hear that it helped! :!!!:
