Please note that a donation feature has been setup. This feature is to be used at your own will. All donations will be used for this community as seen fit by all of the mods, globals and admins. If need be, a poll will be opened to the members as well.

As clarified by Ernir:

1. No one is making any money from this, the moderators are volunteers.
2. All donations go directly and undivided to the maintenance of the BB projects (with the Paypal fee exception).
3. The use of the BB is entirely free, and all donations are optional.

Already decided sources for the donations are:

-ad removal
-website creation (future project)
-self-hosted forum (far future project)

should there be any questions, comments or concerns, please post about it in the questions comments and war stories thread.

Update:

We've already started collecting donations. over 10 dollars Canadian so far!!!

I have accepted that Paypal allow me to accept payments of several types. For this reason, a small fee will be charged with every donation. (1.9% to 2.9% + $0.55 CAD ) This amount will not affect us that much and I will be covering most of the cost by adding some money as a donation from time to time. (If there are too many donations I may not be able to cover it all :P)

I'll use this post for future updates as well. Please post in the questions thread if anyone has a question.
