Perhaps we could make some cool system where if you contribute x amount of dollars to the site you can access VIP lounge. This is an example, you can replace it or whatever.

already been talked about, and the answer is no, simply because we don't want people to feel like they can BUY their way into the VIP section, especially people who haven't been memebers for very long.

I didn't say that it could be VIP section. I said it as an example.

Acess no, but the people that contribute more to Abandonia, maybe can receive some kind of bonus........

PS- contribute in money or work....

The thing is:

If we give something to ppl who give us money, we'r basicly SELLING something. Then we have to be a commercial site, and pay tax and other fees, along with having a bookeeping and so on.

We'r perfectly happy with beeing a voulonteer-based site, that you can DONATE to if you find that we'r worth keeping alive.

Sorry, but mixing money with some service in return will never happen on the site.

Also, if we give someone access to extra material that we don't own, in exchange for a fee, we'r taking a step right in to the black area, instead of staying in the gray'ish that we'r in now.

Well, I think someone should donate something in order to help Abandonia, not because he gets something from it.

How about....No!
