Suggestion for Money

I second the motion!

 

didn't that USED to be the method before the update? (donations)

i like the idea of making the button easy to see on every page...

 

I would kick in a small amount, even though I'm unemployed. I finally installed AdBlock Plus because I couldn't deal with the banner ads that block the search function. I understand that Danny needs money to run the site though.

 

There used to be a way to donate money. I donated some money a long time ago after I first joined. I think there was even a status thing below your user name if you donated back then too.

 

Sell more Prius stuff. Is it reasonable to expect the store to subsidise the site? I'm really not aware what the costs or revenues are.

 

All great points. I would donate, but I think I'd rather just buy stuff from the store. However, I don't think the profit margins are that great because they are some of the lowest prices I've seen. Amazon had em beat on the scangauge by like 3 cents. rofl

I do not know though, if it would get rid of the ads I would contribute a little bit. I did notice they block the search function, and pop down and around or wtv and get in the way when you mouse over them. Major nuisance especially on a laptop.

I support PC regardless though. Awesome site, awesome people.

 

I bought my mudflaps, cargo net, cargo mat and Scanguage from the PC store.

 

EXCELLENT idea. I would definitely be on board for that. It's a great fundraiser and I would feel like I sorta got something for the donation too!

 

Really don't need the recognition or perks, but thank you Danny.

But I would be happy to PayPal Ya for the cause.

Having this group around, has just made my owning a Prius all that much MORE FUN!!!

That, in itself, is worthy of a $ & a Thank You!!!

This site has saved me big bucks, I don't get those pesky ads everyone complains about here in Australia but I'd be very happy to dob in my share.
If possible the donate button should go right beside the page one at the bottom of the last page on each post, easy to see there.

I don't know why the 1% that are here all the time can't kick in the lions share, we take the most from the site.

 

I purchased the PriusChat.com decals.

That way, I sponsor this site, promote this site. At least I got something for my 'donation'.

 

There used to be a link, for a very long time, that said "Coming soon: eliminate ads" or something to that effect. That it was never implemented made me think that maybe there was a conflict with the ad servers: maybe they don't want to advertise on sites that allow members to avoid ads. But of course with Ad Block Plus, anyone can block ads.

I donated when that was an option, and I'd donate again, with or without perks. Everybody wants something for nothing, and some folks think everything on the net should be free. But it makes sense to charge for a premium membership which carries added features. A lot of software comes in a stripped-down free version and a fancier pay version. There's no reason a chat board should be different.
