sanahtlig Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's just storage space, though, which we have plenty of - especially considering that Piwik is sitting on its own server now. On the other hand I'm in the "why would you ever need that much" camp. Move spammy PM threads to Skype and be done with it, imo. It's simply a matter of convenience. Yes, anyone can easily manage their PMs to keep them below the current limit. Anyone can also easily manage their personal PC storage issue and make do with 1TB or less. Yet people go out and buy multiple 3TB HDDs so they don't HAVE to deal with it. Since $20 can buy 500GB of storage (enough to store a gazillion PMs), I see no practical reason to set a limit that isn't ridiculously high.

Tay Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I want to donate, but I don't have a credit card that I can use for a subscription. Since I no longer earn money in USD, I have to wire money back to the US. It's a hassle already considering I need to pay for my student loans, but I also need to pay for my Google Drive storage space as well. However, if anyone can figure out how to setup a Japanese PayPal account and show me how, I would be more than willing to do it then. As with Clephas though, it is a lot easier for me to pay a set donation rather than a certain amount each month. Don't stress, Ren. You've been super-generous in the past, and if something comes up I know where to find you : ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewycool Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 My money was uneven if I did $45. :/ Jokes aside I hope $50 is enough, sorry I can't do monthly.

Also, guilt. You didn't need to send that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tay Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Annnnnnd subbed. Would do the full $5/m but I sadly don't have enough loose cash to throw around. Than you LinovaA, and to everyone who is willing to chip in, but please don't feel bad or apologize for "only" giving $X. Giving anything is extremely generous, and I promise to put the money to good use. (And by good use I suppose I mean keeping Fuwa up and providing a blogging platform on which Zaka can occasionally ramble) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 (I'm stepping out so I can get some studying done, but if you sent in a donation be sure to check your email address for an automated email, and let me know (by email or by PM) that you contributed so I can get you the "goodies" permissions). Thanks, again, for everyone who is able to contribute right now, and for everybody who gives their time to make this such a fun community. nohman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Poltroon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Pfff, as if I'd ever give away my personal money for porn games disguised as story games to you lot. I haven't donated and I'm proud of it! #ScroogeMasterRace #NotEnoughMoneyToActuallyDonateButWon'tAdmitIt Paying for Tiago's Silence I'ts not that much of an issue... Expensive though.

sanahtlig Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 For those who are hesitant about donating, simply buying VNs using the Fuwanovel affiliate links (which will be implemented before long) will go a long way to help supporting the site. You won't get the perks, but you'll get the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that your dollars are being siphoned away from JAST / Mangagamer / Sekai Project and redirected to Tay's bank account. It's the money thought that counts. Darklord Rooke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zodai Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Probably won't end up donating as we're saving up at the moment, but do you care if I take this chance to ask what exactly the affiliate program is? Sanah's post just confused things a bit more and now I'm curious. (In addition I'm also curious to how much has actually been made so far, but that's most likely beyond my reach. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afilliate links from JList, MangaGamer and Jast which will go up sometime and if you click them from our website and then make a purchase there we get a percentage of the money from your purchase. So you'd be actively helping us by buying your porn games <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 How does it pertain to OELVN devs? I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this question. Afilliate links are basically ads for other websites (in this case, the sites we're advertising for are JList, MG and Jast) that give us a percentage of any purchase made by using them. They don't exactly pertain to OELVN devs much since these sites typically don't sell OELVNs, but that's out of our control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanahtlig Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 How does it pertain to OELVN devs? Fuwanovel can only host affiliate links for stores that have an affiliates program (e.g., J-List and Mangagamer). Mangagamer hosts a few OELVNs on their store, so you could use the Mangagamer affiliate links to buy those and Fuwanovel would get a cut. Steam doesn't appear to have an affiliates program. Sekai Project also doesn't currently have an affiliates program. That means your options for supporting Fuwanovel when buying OELVNs are pretty limited, but there's nothing Fuwanovel can do from its end about that.

DatYandereGirl Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 How about setting up a way so others could "gift a friend" a donation for the perks? I'm going to donate ASAP, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
