      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I don't know if whoever made the donate panel knows this, but there are services that exist on Paypal which allows people to subscribe to donating on a recurring monthly basis. 

 

I would subscribe to such service if it existed here, as I did with the Dwarf Fortress group.

 

it's so much easier in today's world to subscribe to a monthly payment rather than having to whip out the credit card every month to donate. Plus, It'll give the TFC guys a little more show for their effort.

 

Did you know that the Dwarf Fortress group made this much in donations monthly since September 2013 - January 2014 due to services like that (And they haven't had an update since June 4, 2012)

 
January:   $4040.37
December:  $5903.18
November:  $3683.50
October:   $4727.45
September: $3888.52
 
They average $3000 almost purely from recurring donations and both developers had for a long time relied on that sole form of income, and maybe still are.(now I don't expect this from TFC, but it may still cause a noticeable increase in monthly donations.)
 
 
Note: to DF fans out here, they are closing on a new update and a lot of stuff is about to go down!!! :D

The biggest problem with donation subscriptions is when people decide they want to unsubscribe. It's pretty common for mistakes to happen on that end of things, and then there is the possibility of having to deal with all sorts of messy stuff like refunds.

:huh: idk about refunds with Paypal, but if that is all that is hindering yah then that is unfortunate. Although I think that you should try it out, if you really do fear setbacks like that, I guess you have a reason.

 

Most claims with Paypal, especially with refunds can usually be dealt with quickly (Especially if  the person wishes a refund immediately after a charge). But if someone wants a refund 10 days after a donation has been made because they just noticed it on their bank statement, unless Paypal has something to say about it, they are SOL in my opinion.
