This isn't an attack on sythe or anyone on the site, just the truth. If this was implied, you could make some serious money. All it takes is time.
As many of you might know, i ran paypal donations for a good 3 months or so. I would take the money on paypal from people, tell matthew about it, transfer it to my bank account, and then mail it to Matthew himself. The whole process took 2-3 weeks. In this time you would think people would charge back the money. No, they didn't. I of course had some guidelines. You could not donate more than 25$ was the major one. If you set a limit one what people can donate, then your chances of a chargeback are more slim. Scammers aren't going to want to deal with such a low donation rank anyways.
This all comes of course if someone decides to take the initiative and actually do the donations through paypal. And you can't say chargeback is a major thing when in reality its not. I was charged back once, and it was a mistake. He was still banned because the money was not in my account. I think in this period of time, i took in nearly 300$.
All im really saying is that if you step back and look at it, paypal donations are not impossible. They just need somebody that is willing to take there time with them, and actually look after them. You also need someone that is more active (not an attack on Matthew at all) but he is not the most active person. Of course finding someone trustworthy and active will not be an easy thing, but if you actually follow through with it you will never be hurting for server money. All im asking is you actually consider it, and not just lock this thread.
Thanks.
