Touch Arcade Donations?

[pharmx]

Is there any reason why Touch Arcade doesn't have a "donate" link? Some of the big forums that I visit (not game related) have this as an option, and is available from any page for people that wish to donate. The sites that do this usually offer some "incentive" like a special title, etc. If this has been asked before, please forgive me, I started typing before doing a search.

not something we've offered. Maybe we'll have some toucharcade-branded stuff in the future. something to think about though.

Well, that's more like a store. What I'm talking about is just a PayPal (or similar) donation, regardless of how big or small the amount. Either way, every little bit counts, and I'm sure TA isn't cheap to run, especially with the growing user base

That is what the ads are for.

That's silly. First of all I don't want to see the ads. I don't think I've ever willingly clicked on an ad. Second, clicking on an ad doesn't let you pick how much money you want to donate.

Just click on links to games in the forums when you want to buy stuff. The links are automatically re-written by the server to redirect to affiliate links. In other words, TA gets 5% of every sale of every app that people buy when they click any App Store link on this site.

Neeeeeerd. And the nearly 4,000 posts only backs up my case. I could go for a TA iPod case, though, but nooo way a t-shirt. If my game's moderately successful, I can see myself donating a good chunk.

Haha. More like TA addict. I wouldin't wear a TA shirt though. Not that I'm ashamed or anything.........it's just it would be random. TA case would be nice.
