More Donation Options

I would like to see more than just subscription based donations.  For example, some people may be able to donate say 55 USD once but not monthly.  The perks that a subscription gold and a one-time-buy user would be different like not having access to FPC or different user group image.  I feel that only having subscription based donation may drive some users away from donating. I imagine pricing would resemble how Microsoft prices office, office 365(more features, but sub based) 69.99 for one year or office 2016(less features not sub based) 149.99 (USD) for permanent.  So Subscription donators could say get new forum features earlier than non-sub based or something along these lines.  I imagine the LTT forums would see a large uptick in people donating if something along these lines was implemented.

I agree, partly. Before FPC I wasn't doing any subscriptions because I could spend about €20-30 in year. But getting bronze for 4 months or gold for single month just isn't something I lean into. Because I don't like to pay for single month subscription and cancel immediately. But now FPC falls just into that comfortable price range. With added bonus.

 

I would like them to do another fundraising campaign because those are things which would qualify as one-time donations (like First Blood and Office Builder in past).

I was excluding FPC from this because it will not always be hosted on the forums although I didn't exactly say that in my post.  "Because I don't like to pay for single month subscription and cancel immediately" exactly why I made this post.
