Donating to site cost

I do not know what TFF costs are or who pays it, but I do notice that there is a Donate button at the top of the page. I started wondering if or how many people donate? I recently joined another forum, not game related, and one thing I noticed very quickly was that many/most of the members had a banner under their forum avatar/pic that said, " Donating Member." It really works to encourage users to be involved with paying the bill for the services they use. Noone ever talks about it that I noticed, but there it is for all to see and people obviously donate. I looked around and $10 US/ year keeps the banner below your avatar/pic. Just a thought.

There is? I don't see one (I'm using the sub-silver theme). I thought Doubleskulls' had removed it after the C&D letter to JohnnyP forced the TBB name change.
Anyway, you'd need to contact Doubleskulls for the answers to your questions, as he hosts it.

I'm using the Milky Way style and can confirm the Paypal Donate button is there.

edit: removed line that showed my inability to read properly.

To state it bluntly, I wondered if such a thing would be useful here? I think we have more members then the other forum so could possibly do with (a geuss as I do not know the finances of TFF) $5 to be "Donating Members." ????
