Thanks for the reminder Harper.
What a great Idea. I met Gilby at CMW in Santa Barbara and he is a
great guy. Time to help out if you can. I like the paypal link to
make a donation. Very quick and easy if you already have a paypal
account as many of us do.

Any thoughts on incentivizing donations?

I had a great one... pay-to-ban! Say, for a $30 donation, you could ban
the user of your choice for 30 days?

What about pay-to-kill? Lock a thread for a $1 donation per 10 or 100
posts in the thread? (You know where I'm going with this... we'd hold a
marathon to lock MR!)

Of course, if there were a fund drive I'd be happy to participate. Say,
for $1k in donations I'd ride down a crowded street in San Francisco
wearing swim fins, a pink tu-tu, and a wizard hat, or whatever the
Unicyclist.com community deems appropriate.

Any other ideas?

The link is on the "donate" page itself, which you can reach by a link
at the top right.

Alas, only unicycle.com USA shoppers are able to do this, which is a
bit of a shame.

You omitted the need to add chlorine to the present pool of posters.
That was my favorite part of the PM. I might want to "pool" into the
flipper and tutu ride in SF as long as it is on one of the long
downhills to Fisherman's Wharf. A giraffe might be a suitable ride.

Take plenty of photos.

I'll pledge $20 to see it happen.

Get a money order.

Thanks Gilby for the great service. The money Gilby "makes" from these
donations is nowhere near the worth unicyclist.com has had over the
years for the unicycling community. It also probably doesn't come close
to defraying his costs. So show your thanks and donate!

Gilby, maybe make a "Premium member" or something similar with perks
(bigger av, supporter icon, bigger email etc) that are bought for a
year at a time. That way you would have a more stable flow of
donations, and also a way to increase donations through the use of the
bandwagon effect.

Done, took about 7 mouseclicks.
Thanx for the reminder Greg.

I think animated avatars would be a reasonable incentive.
And the pay-to-ban idea sounds like fun, but not for 30days.
That's a bit harsh, 1day would still fit into my understanding of fun.
As for the pay-to-lock-pick-on-MostReplies-suggestion, we shall not
speak of this again.

The problem with that is that it adds a recognition of economic class
of those who can afford to donate and those who can't. Many of the
users, such as the kids on this forum, I wouldn't expect to donate, due
to their inability to pay. They are better off putting their money
towards unicycles and equipment and then coming here to share their
knowledge, which is another way to support this site other than
financial. It's more than just money that makes this site what it is.
But having said that, the $250/month server bill does need to somehow
be paid.

Eish.
I wanted to ask for a rough idea of operating costs to get an idea of
what would be a 'decent' donation.
Is it possible to set-up a regular monthly donation via PAYPALL or do I
actually -have- to remember every month?

the donation through them?

Is it better or worse than the Paypal transaction fee?

PayPal and Amazon charge 2.9% + $0.30.
