It is your duty as a Netizen.

I love Wikipedia. Where else can I go to look up vaugely remembered 80s TV shows. I use it all the time.

Nope, I never donated anything to anyone

I'm afraid I am a little "big" Mr Scrouge

I donated £10 to Wikipedia. That's $20 (about). That got doubled to make $40 (If you're planning to donate, I'd wait for a day when donations are being matched, they're fairly common).

That's $40 total. I'm so generous.

I've given £5 to Abandonai total, but that was ages ago, when £5 was a pretty significant amount of my total money.

There are loads of things I really should donate to, such as DOSBox, I use Firefox as standard and have for a while, but they're probably swimming in cash by now what with all the users. Sending a postcard to Thomas Biskup is also on my list. So much alturism, so little time.

Hahaha!

Our duty? Don't make me laugh. The whole word about internet is free, my friend. Of course, you can always donate if you like what you see and want to support the thing or the people who are doing it... But our duty? You won't catch me with something as simple, friend.

I don't see why you are amazed, abandonia is also a community based site which makes no profit at all, by your logic if you've ever downloaded from here or read any of the reviews it's your duty to donate.

Posting in this forum and telling your friends about Abandonia, is making the site more popular and famous, which is a kind of donation. Mainly because of the Google ads.

I doubt anyone (that will probably be Kosta) will make any serious money, though!
