In other words, a lot of TL users are gifting a lot of blokes to use the feature for many different reasons. Many of which being 'oh my gosh I cannot afford a few bucks because I'm a uni student.' Please, we've been there done that. We know the kinds of budhets they have. The point is for the few bucks it takes, it would be nice to see people give back to other good causes in the same breath. Now, I've been to a lot of third world countries. Heck, even forth and fifth world and let me tell you it is absolutely baffling. Nothing can prepare you for those horrors. I didn't miss any point, you're assuming that everyone who is giving it away is doing it because they want to be " charitable ". For me this has nothing to do with charity, I'm saying I have X amount of money I want to spend on Teamliquid. From that amount of money I want to spend this amount on other people (people I have interacted with and think deserve it, not random people who are asking for it) and this amount on myself, stacking 3 months on myself gives no additional immediate benefit compared to splitting it up. Why do you assume that users gifting TL+ don't donate to charities? I can tell you that I have many times. " Now, I've been to a lot of third world countries. Heck, even forth and fifth world and let me tell you it is absolutely baffling. Nothing can prepare you for those horrors. " Really, are you trying to guilt trip me? I'm aware of how badly many people in this world have it, even in the " first world " many many people have it bad. Yeah that sucks, but you know I can't save the world, I could donate every penny I have to charity but that wouldn't save the world. However, what I can do is give a little something back to this website for all the entertainment it has provided me, while also being generous to other people. It may be true that there are some users here who are randomly giving it away to people, you could say they're being charitable. Even if that is the case It's not up to you or anyone else to tell them that they're spending money on the wrong thing. Gifting features to other TL members certainly isn't bringing anyone out of poverty, but It's not meant to. It's about the same as paying for a friends meal, giving away a ticket to an event, or giving them a gift. It's just something that people do.  | ||

Why this sudden lack of faith? One decision and people are questioning TL makes me sad. Maybe some of you are newer users so you don't know the site and its history well enough yet but show a little trust eh? | ||

I don't understand why you didn't implement a really cheap paying registration with special features that the masses will buy and leave the donation as a classic donation thing. I think mixing both worlds is basically the new way internet sites found to make big money the past recent years. And I don't like silly trends. | ||

It has never failed to disappoint me and has always continued to strive for excellence. The people who run this site have done something amazing and continue to evolve and grow. You've been here since 2003 and still haven't activated TEAMLIQUID PLUS?! Why this sudden lack of faith? One decision and people are questioning TL makes me sad. Maybe some of you are newer users so you don't know the site and its history well enough yet but show a little trust eh? People have a reverence for the site and want to make sure that new things make the site strictly better. You should be happy they have that kind of concern. For instance, the filter button looks out of place, and Gift TL+ adds some clutter when it's on every single post. | ||
