Guess I was wrong, but I still don't understand why there's any controversy. If you don't want to donate then don't. Simple as that.
Too bad for the people paying for it all though, and also for the people (like me) who would like to help and feel a part of the effort. Too bad for me too, I guess. So, just who benefits from forbidding voluntary donations?
Well, R:TR did get into trouble with donations for keeping up their site. The man responsible for them broke with the team and kept the site (and the donations?) so the team had to find a new one. I guess lt1956 is afraid something similar might happen.
