Its all in your hands....

WE LIVE TO SERVE YOU - OUR DEAR MEMBERS

But unfortunately we also need to get paid

As the saying goes - nothing good in this world can be truly free, so in order to keep this site going - we need another influx of cash.

Not sure if anyone noticed but we have not been coming even close to our donation target every month and while we have all been putting as much of our personal money into this site as possible - there comes a point where we are forced to throw our hands up in the air and say - "Sorry guys, we need help"

So pls pull out any spare change you may have lying around and help us to keep this awesome site going. Any little amount will be welcomed and genuinely appreciated.

~ALL HAIL OS~

PS: While we ask for donations - pls keep in mind, our goal of keeping this a 'free to all' site without any advertisements, has not changed.

Seeing this has open my eyes a bit, we can't keep depending on the same people to donate every month, i'll try to start to donate every month. I would hate it if this site went down :( i love this site! LOL. Just donated what i can right now..... hope it helps a bit :)

[Darthjaw93]

Just donated...I'll probably be giving a little bit now that I have a maintaining job.

To one of the best sites, I'd give to only this one.

[cracken101]

I don't have job yet so sorry guys

[resolve]

will help as much as possible.

Let's not all post about how we CAN'T help in this thread. While the sentiments do not hurt, neither do they help keep OS alive and ad-free.

Also, for those saying "I would donate, but I don't have a credit card." Just run to almost ANY store, and pick up a prepaid card. Pretty simple right?

I was starting to get pretty frustrated seeing how little money was going towards this site. I'm glad the site has no ads, but it seems like the majority of the users have no access to make online payments of any kind (or they won't go that extra mile to try). I can't always donate but when I do, I try to donate at least $25.

If everyone could manage $17 a day we'd make the $500 each month easily (Well except February which has 28/29 days, so make it $18 for February just to be safe). Anyway, good luck... Steam has had a ton of sales this month so I'm tapped out for the next few weeks :(

This is just a suggestion, but can we increase the number of ways to donate because personally my reason also for not being able to donate is not having a credit card, here in the Philippines there are also plenty of people who have the mentality of having a credit card is just for the rich people so just for commoners like myself just choose not to bother myself acquiring credit card, instead I suggest a kind of payment we commonly use which I will mention later. I am being a bit biased because I’m only suggesting this kind of payment only for Filipino members because I noticed that Philippines have the most visitors or members, almost double of that of US (as I saw in the flag counter in the home page).

Now for the kind of payment, I’m suggesting the cell phone load here in the Philippines, I have thought of this way because this is the most common way of payment here in the Philippines when it concerns payment for buying items in online games between players, sending money, and the so-called e-cash. The method is simple we just assign a phone number whether it is “Smart” or “Globe” or both (These are cell phone network company names here in the Philippines) for the sole purpose of receiving load donations, our cell phones need load from them for us to use "SMS" and call services from them and we commonly buy them in retail and prepaid so it can be affordable for anyone, even an elementary or high school student can afford it. I’m explaining this in detail because I don’t know how does the system goes for other countries but this is the way it goes in my country. Continuing the method, we will just assign cell phone numbers or sim cards from either one of this “Smart” or “Globe” or both then we will just post the assigned numbers in our site then wait for people from here in the Philippines to send or pass their loads to the assigned numbers. We can just include the cell phone numbers in our personal information so that we can know who are those people who bothered themselves donating. The admin just have to select a member who will be responsible in taking care of those sim cards, it is the admin’s choice whether to select a member from the US or here in the Philippines but I would suggest that a member from the Philippines is more preferable than that from the US because of the network signal issues, it will be the chosen member’s responsibility to convert the accumulated load to cash and deposit it to a bank account and send it through paypal to the official bank account of our site or just deposit it directly to the official bank account of our site.

I’m putting much effort on this particular post because I also really want to keep OS alive and I really want to help donating, its just I don’t have the means and I’m pretty sure that many of my fellow countrymen have the same difficulties as mine. I know that this method still have to go under polishing and careful planning but the concept will be more or less the same but I’m thinking that if we Filipinos will be given an accessible way of donating, this will be a great help… Imagine just say 5 or 10 pesos, 10 pesos is a pretty petty amount for most of us students and adult and 1 dollar is roughly about 40 pesos… Imagine if just a fraction of Filipino members will donate 5-10 pesos per month I think it will be greatly alleviate the burden for those who are donating a considerable amount of money regularly.

Thank you for the effort of reading this and those from the admin I’m asking you guys to consider thinking this idea through and if you find it a good one, I’m willing to join you guys in planning and studying this method more because as I have already mentioned, this idea still need to undergo some refinement.

[animerocks]

i agree with ganarok;i've contacted os admin before about another way to donate,but have not recieved any answer.i don't have a credit card either.

[uchimara]

i will donate 100$ if its for a good cause becuse anime is something that should be around for all and not just a few so hope it helps thank you OS for all taht you have done :D

[Maxou]

Eh, first time I write on this website... I'm a lurker ! :P But I'll come out to give you some spare money I've got on hands.. even though I'm pretty new here, I'm loving every evening I'm spending here ! ^_^ Thanks to you guys !

[Sydneth]

Pretty soon I'll be getting a job and once that happens, you can count on me donating, at least a little bit every month!! This is a wonderful site and, with what it offers and such a great community, definitely deserves at the very least a small donation every month or so from its members. Once I get a steady income, I will definitely help as much as I can! ^.^

[Revelix]

Iv'e got a credit card, got it recently.
All left is to convince my parents so that i am allowed to donate.
If i make any progress, i will donate the instant i am allowed.

[snowicle]
