Theymos start a post get
Donator status by donating 10 BTC on August 19, 2011. Post last edited on
October 3, 2011 and thread is still alive.
I am not sure, perhaps theymos no need donation for forum;
theymos multiple times said that currently forum don't need donations. They get enough revenue by selling ad slots.
However, there is still opportunity to get vip and donator status. I believe few peoples encourage to get such as status although any one can donate any amount to show appreciation.
I think theymos should reconsider amount for donation accordingly bitcoin price. On August 2011 bitcoin price was
10-12$ only, That means 10
BTC=100-120$.
If you donate 10 BTC (which pays for about a month of hosting), you get donator status:
Most likely theymos calculate according to one month hosting payment. I don't know how much is current hosting cost for a month but I don't think it will be worth of 10
BTC. So I think theymos could consider
donator status for worth of one month hosting payment.
I think this is almost became impossible to get VIP status lately. Also theymos should reconsider about it accordingly bitcoin price.
Although theymos no need donation but I think many peoples willing to get
Donator and
VIP status. Especially I saw few post regarding custom title, few peoples want to get custom title. I think forum will not lose anything if reduce amount but members will get benefit by custom title(whoever willing).
