I think it's time you guys start considering donation packages with smaller amounts that most members won't feel stupid for giving up at once. $20 is not a lot in general, but to give up front for a website is just...

I agree.
It's very embarrassing. And also disrespectful to the people who spent their money on it. Let's be real, ATRL+ is not a bargain at all. It barely offers anything. And even with the funds, I'd rather buy dinner an a movie. Not being ungrateful, but seriously.....being real.
What puzzles me in the fact that they are always "resolving issues with the server", but it crashes every other day. There are many alternatives. If they are simply saving up to buy a new server, I would prefer them to just say it, instead of having us blindly complain. How is it that we have censorship and are help "at a higher standard" than other forums when guest can rarely register because the server is always on life support, and it takes pages 2 minutes to load? They could have a donation drive, bring a designer in to add lots of new features and maybe the subscription number for ATRL+ would rise. You have to spend money to make money. They need to get new ad servers. There are plenty out there with pretty good negotiations.
And the reason it's a donation box at the bottom of the page is because it is a choice. This isn't our (the general members) site and it isn't our responsibility to fork over cash for upkeep. Especially if our money is not being seen. The server continues to fall short and we are loosing things slowly, but surely. We bring in traffic, and have the right to complain.
No registration, no search. What's next?
