We'll be kicking back $3 as a referral and $5 to the game fund (when that's ready). Also, you can buy two years for $30. We're not making much money here, trust me.

It's only 15,000 a year divided by ten. That's just more than I make per annum. Not a whole lot when you consider server costs, legal fees and every other expense that's required to keep the majority of BYOND users happy.

Not to mention potential licensing fees (FMod) and paying at least one full time BYOND developer.

Yea, I think you (byond people, whoever you are) are making far less from this than you should for the effort put in. Im not rich, but if I was you'd see some money from me put in just because of the enjoyment I had from byond since I was here. I'd say I'd donate 1'000$ per million, if I was a millionaire, thats a 0.1% of my total money. But if I donated 0.1% of the money I currently have you would get 65 cent XD, because I only have 650$

Every little bits help. If all BYONDers donate 65 cents, I'm sure it'd help. Then again, we don't know how many BYONDers we have right now, nor how many members, how many unused keys, etc.

Yes, but in order to defeat the PayPal tax you'd have to send more than 65 cents.
