Donations / Account Upgrades

The amount of donations so far has been terrible. Less than 1 percent of the registered users has donated - 29 out of over 3800. I put $20 in because I knew I wouldn't be trying to find any cutoff points. I need all the practice at being as good as I can get. JCirri will never say anything about it, but for all the work he's done making this site so damn awesome, I think he should make a couple bucks out of it! Now I'm not complaining about the guys who have contributed with the cutoffs, they've done their part, but for the rest of the 3000+ users who log in day after day and can't send in $10, COME ON!! This guy has done an unbelieveable job and he should make a few dollars! I'm sure things have been bought from the store, too. But a $20 shirt still costs $12. So lets see if we can't make a few more donations!! $5 is still $5!!

To be fair, I don't exactly have $10 to give away. Otherwise, it'd be here in a heartbeat.

I've been considering donating... but I'm still not out of debt yet... maybe in a month or so. Might be able to donate after christmas, will probably be back in debt then too! ^_^ Damn Holidays... *shakes his fist at Christmas*

Is it just me or has "The Store" button been removed? I'd like to donate but I can't find out where to do so.

Question about the donations. You noted here that we're not limited to just those donation amounts. If I donate some non-standard amount (Say $15), do I just get 13 contribution points, or some amount between 13 and 30?

And the Store shows up fine for me on the home page in the top bar.

If you donated $15, you would get 19 points, $10 = 13 + $5 = 6 = 19.

Well... It's not much but I dropped $10. The least I could do for all the work that goes into this site. When I have it I'll send a little more!

There is now $20 more in the Scorehero bank!!!

It was the lest i could do. This site makes Guitar Hero so much more funner to play (i know that is not word but you know what i mean). This site puches me to play better and went someone beats my score i am right back at it trying do alittle better. Kept up all the great work.

Another thing you could do with the points is let people get stuff at the store store for EX. I got 10 points left and 10 points = $9 so if some one wanted say ScoreHero License Plate Frame and that is $12.99, if you take the 10 points ($9) off that, than it would cost you $3.99

Just a thought let me know what you think!

Thanks for the support.

The problem with that, is while donations earn contribution, so do proofs (which don't generate any funds), and it would then defeat the purpose to give money back for contribution. First of all, I'd go broke, seeing as there's now over 13,000 total contribution points earned by the community versus about $3,200 in generated funds. The other problem is that I don't have access to the server-side code (besides some basic HTML layout) on the merchandise store which is ran through cafepress.com, so I wouldn't be able to implement any type of discounts like that anyway.

However, the converse isn't true, and as announced in the merchandise thread, I do award award contribution points for purchases made in the store (at the donation value of 25% of the purchase price).

The funds will be put to use this Summer when I upgrade the server which I'll be announcing some options about in the near future.
