$50 donation made but no custom user title ?!?!

Oh, he's busy? Ok, then...
Please look at the date this thread was started before posting

 

Maybe it's next on his "to-do list"...ya never know! ha ha!

 

1) Buy eggs and milk....check
2) Add 1 kazillion members custom tags....erm, skip

 

Figure Ill throw my 2 cents in here since everyone else is....

On one hand the OP and others have paid for a service and did not receive the product, yet on the other hand it was a voluntary donation, so the gift in return shall and would usually be treated with very little care.

I personally would never donate money to a forum/website/organization with the type of earnings as this one as the owners do not need the money as much as I personally need it, nor would I pay $50 so that under my name I have a custom phrase instead of the regular titles (is it that important?).

So in this case Id just say take it as a bad investment of $50 and dont ever donate money in the future in hopes of actually receiving anything in return other than the "joy of giving"

 

I agree, i wouldnt donate $50, i doubt shawn really needs it nor would it be of much value to him.

For me $50 is a nice amount.

 

Actually you are forgetting something, you are not donating the the money to Shawn (he dont need it too) but for the Servers

http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/donate read the full page properly

 

Like you, I don't have the 50 buckaroos to cough up for this purpose.

Actually I find the only important reason for this would be to identify the Digital Point forum staff... One moderator has chosen to use this for moderator identity, I feel that it really helps for that purpose. (no charge to the moderators though)

Doesn't Shawn OWN the servers? Or they own him.. so, either way.

 

but aren't the servers for betterment of the forum ?

 

I think some people are missing the point.
It's not the custom tag that I am concerned about. What really pisses me off is that I received no recognition from DP, not even a simple email or PM saying "thank you".

 

Yeh but shawn pays for the servers, and even if the $50 goes towards the servers, shawn has an extra $50 that he didnt need to spend, so wouldnt it be basically just giving to shawn

 

No, I agree with you a "thank you" would be proper.

 

One question, and this might make me sound extremely "ignorant", but if he makes $10,000 each month from Adsense, etc, how does he need more money for the servers??

 

How can a business need donations? Its not as if there are no ads, or they give money to charities

 

Almost one year later: I, for one, don't need a "Thank you" or a custom title anymore.
What I would like is an explanation on this 1 year old thread.

 

you got hosed...and I don't mean that in a good way

I must have got lucky then

 

Hahaha I'm sorry but this is hilarious.
I thought DP had a contact Phone number... or maybe you could try looking up "Shawn" in the chicago phone book.

 

I'm sure he's quite busy. He'll reply ASAP im sure.

 

Well I'm glad you're 'sure'

 

in this case, by ASAP he means: As Slow As Possible

 

Yip .... nearly one year on and still not a word from Shawn - no custom tag, no thank you, nothing..... All my emails and PMs gone unanswered.... Basically I don't think he gives a stuff.

I just hope no one else is foolish enough to give him free money
