This is why, quite a while ago, I suggested some kind of reward scheme for people who donate.
It would be a better idea for regular donations.
If someone were to give a few Euros a month, signing up for a year, maybe they could get some piece of Abandonia merchandise?
It would have to be different items for different scales, though...
Perhaps a newsletter and monthly magazine emailed to them?
Or a badge, sticker-set (for bikes, skateboards, fridge, computer, etc.) t-shirt, decided at cost value (if the donation covered the cost of two...) for a year's subscription..?
I've been using Abandonia for a few years now but only been an active member since April - It may encourage more people to use it more regularly and create an account and join the forums and stuff.
I wonder how many people who happen upon the forums find the merchandise page?
There could also be a service whereby you get the "pick of the best" of the month's newest uploads (and/or old favourites) are directly linked in the newsletter email, or something?
I guess at the moment though, Mattcaron, the only thing to do is just check back and set a reminder in the calendar for yourself or something?
