Can We Donate?

[Chester]

money corrupts in my opinion. i know RTR had a donation page. What i found very annoying is that they never said the exact ammount of money needed for their hosting services but kept receiving offers. Well sorry but that stinks.

How is it a bad thing? I think people like you hold the modding community to an unrealistic high. As if it's so noble, pure, and true of heart, that something as petty like asking for donations would taint the whole thing.

I'm going to stop-short of calling you cheap, but I will call you inconsiderate. If they have met their expenses, they can choose to stop taking donations, or use the spill over for future projects.

Modding communities are setting an example by providing high quality goods absolutely free.

No they are not. This is not the first time something has come for free, and nobody is looking to the modding communities for moral/business guidance. Furthermore, this MOD is absolutely free and the idea of donations leading to manditory payments is a slippery slope argument.

Get this, Idomeneas, the beauty of the donation is that you don't need to pay. If you think this mod is high quality and you want to help them out, then donate. It's the players way of saying "thank you" and "I helped". Don't go around blowing up the modding commuinty as some sort of unspolied venture. It's lame.
