Sometimes I get the feeling that donations are hard to accept because of the fact that they aren't a reliable source of income...I mean...upgrading the server won't be cheap...and who's to say that all the people willing to donate now will be here in the future to donate...in 6 months, or a year, or two years...people leave forums all the time...and i think part of the reason why AHS is such a successful forum, is because of the stability in the moderation and imo not the members (sadly)...who will be stuck paying the bill when the people willing to donate are gone? Does AHS then downgrade because its no longer affordable?

You make it sound like servers cost thousands of dollars
.
The example is just a suggestion on how to regulate donations so there isn't an excess that the recipients will use for personal expenses like Corybobory said. All it does is give off the idea "you are welcome to donate but don't drop HUGE amounts of money to us". Its still a flawed idea anyway because theres no way you can prevent someone from making multiple donations
