I'm new to this site, so I'm pretty inexperienced with this kinda stuff. When you first log on you will see some topics at the bottom saying "My Donations" and "Monthly Donations". Is the monthly donations a mandatory payment you have to make, or something else. Someone please explain this to me. This is probably a stupid question, but help would be appreciated.
donations are entirely voluntary. We do encourage people to make donations as they help with covering the cost of running this site (which as you may have noticed, from the bar, is quite expensive) and we provide perks for those who do donate (i.e more points, no ads and more stuff coming soonish), but if people choose not to donate then that is their choice and we don't think any less of them for it.
