Keep Shenmue Dojo Healthy (Donate!)

[Yama]

If it's not apparent already, Shenmue Dojo is ad-free and up and running 24/7/365. We are the largest source of Shenmue information, media and most of all the biggest community regarding SEGA's series. Considering we are privately funded and hosted, it costs to keep the community and website up and running.

Added to the main page as of today is a donation button, in which you can help collectively cover the costs of hosting Shenmue Dojo (securely through PayPal). Like the series itself, if the funds are not there, the site will cease to exist. Any amount is appreciated and there is no deadline, the donation button will be live at all times.

Donors will have the choice to use a special rank along with free submission to any future raffles. Thank you for showing your support and helping keep the site alive and well.

How much does it cost to run the site per annum so I know if i'm donating a generous amount or a small amount?

It can fluctuate based on usage, depends how hard we get hammered if at all.

Also added to the OP, there will be a special donor rank and color that users who donate can choose to use.

I used to regularly donate to sites that I use frequently, but I'm out of a job now so don't be counting on anything substantial for a while.

Same. Once I get a steady income, I'll donate every so often.

[Crimson Ryan]

I've donated. It's only small admittedly but I'll aim to do it when I have some spare cash.

[Spokane]

I will donate soon! Keep this good old ship afloat!

[Axm]

Donation made!

It's not much, but when all frequent users or lurkers pay this amount, SD will have their funds to keep SD alive.

Next time a donation for YSnet to get the millions to develop Shenmue III

Make sure to submit your usernames with donations. Also the rank is optional, just PM me if you want it removed. You'll still be a part of the donation group, just minus the Dreamcast orange.

Pretty much the point, agreed.

So your username goes Orange when you make a donation eh? OL will get his wallet out faster than if he was with a ho for the night.

[Crimson Ryan]

Haha, for a second I thought Peter was made a mod. When I checked the bottom of the page I saw my name was orange, too. You can imagine my facepalm when I got here..

[Bluecast]

OL should donate to get a orange name.

(can mine be blue perty perty lease!) I donated a little but it was my widows mite.

[Oppy]

Done. Not a huge donation due to my current financial situation. But Il make a few more donations in the future if I have enough dough.
