Donations

[Reikka the bounty hunter]

Hey I was just wondering what I need to do If I wish to Donate to the guild surprised  

[Wirai]

On the guild home page, there's an option at the bottom where you type in the gold amount and your password.  

[Dan the Dante]

Question, where do our donations go? I mean what are the guilds expenses, if there are any.  

[Wirai]

Buying more subforums is really it; I don't think we'll be buying any more subforums... There's no way to transfer the funds to like a guild mule account or anything. =/ So really the money just sits there and does nothing.  

[Dan the Dante]

Oh.

So has the guild ever made a request like 'The guild is in need of your donations' or anything like that?

I mean, unless kaykeyser and the others really just have a lot of gold in their accounts.  

[Wirai]

We did once, about... gosh, maybe 3 years ago? The guild was experiencing some growing pains, so we expanded. It hasn't happened since. There's been a joining fee of about 25g(since removed), and we add about 20-30 people a day. Guild's currently sitting on about 1.4 million gold and there's nothing we can do with it.  

[Dan the Dante]

Woah, that's a lot of gold.

I'm glad people were willing to pay the entrance fee. But then again 25g is relatively small.

I imagine the amount of RP's there were in a single forum. I mean Naruto in the same forum as Twilight, there must've been a lot of traffic.  

[Wirai]

Some places are still very high traffic, some are incredibly slow. I about cried if I forgot to bookmark an RP page when it was single forum because I had to compete with the Romance, the creatures, and the medieval stuff. There were fewer people then, but still.  

[Dan the Dante]

One of the highest amounts I've seen is the vampire forum. Still I guess that means people are active in the group. It makes me shudder at how much RP's you guys have to go through just to check if everything's in order.  

[Wirai]

Ah yes. My forum. Gotta love the vampire people.

At some point we do have to leave it up to the users to govern themselves. I work, I'm in college full time... I personally cannot go through every last post made in any of the forums I watch.

/sigh  

[Dan the Dante]

Yeah, mods aren't machines after all. Anyway hopefully the people will follow the rules without you guys having to enforce them.

Oh and thanks for the chat, learned a lot about this guild. 3nodding

Not a problem... I like answering user questions.
