The way a community operates is that you give back what you have taken..since i cannot give anything starcraft related, i could however donate, if there were such a feature.
The last thread i could find was about 3 years old, i have no idea how much TL.net costs to run, and i have no idea how it's funded either, but i think it would be a good way for a lot of people to give back to the community what they have taken from it. Without this site i'd have quit starcraft after a few weeks, and never have known about the pro-scene, i feel i owe a lot towards the site, because it's a great time killer.
I'm not talking about donating 100's of bucks, but little donations from a lot of members would surely add up.
I wouldn't ask for a different icon, or a donaters section etc.
Don't know if the funders even need the extra money but i'm sure it'd help in funded future endeavors that TL.net may like.
PS; i donate a small amount each month to another community site, as do 100's of others, it eases the payments they have to make towards the servers and allows them to rent faster servers etc. so far it's had a very positive reception.
tl:dr; Should TL.net have a donation section?
|
The ads (mostly the Google ones that don't show up for members) cover the server costs, Liquibition prizes, etc, so there's no need to donate. Just make good posts. :p
You can buy a shirt or two if you want though: http://www.teamliquid.net/store/

^^I like how you did a ninja edit just to add the  face, XD
I would donate. I think TL has saved me a lot of money by causing me to play mostly Starcraft which is free. Otherwise I would have bought new games.

Like most community sites that can cover their bw with a couple ads, any donated money will be spent on things like beer muffins and pretending we are legit by renting an office. Just be a good poster ^_^!

Ok np, i ordered a t-shirt anyways.

yeah, if you want to help TL, help a noob or make a great post, that's more useful than a few dollars to us right now

These guess are full of shit. PM me your banking info and you can donate directly to the #1 moderator. Every $100 allows you to give a 1 week ban to anyone you choose, twice a month.
And, for a limited time only, I will throw in a second 1 week ban, ABSOLUTELY FREE! That's right, you not only get the satisfaction of donating me beer money, but you get TWO of our world-famous bans absolutely free.
These are the same bans that have triggered such cult followings as "teamliquid sucks", the "Mods in Heat" blog, and coined the phrase "Stimey Rage". Own your piece of history now for the low price of 199.99 (+shipping).
ORDER NOW!

^^Someone needs to tell Nitrogen about this. Or Tuna.
Edit: Oh crap, if we get the ban package can we give you a specific message to put as the ban reason? I would say something like "Next time I see a noun in one of your posts this one is permanent."
It would be so hard for them to get any kind of message across. XD

Depending on the package you buy, and what upgrade kit you wish to attach you your already value ladden deal, personal messages can be arranged.

yes!
i think not using any vowels and nouns would be funnier

(He means per minute. And the live stream is private.. unless you don't want it to be, but that costs extra)
