I just want to clarify that this is just a discussion that was moved from another thread. I have no intention of changing the way we run things here. We have a donations page where I outline what our costs are for the month. Normally it is just our montly server fees ($238), but sometimes it is more (like the set-up fees for the servers which I choose to pay upfront in order to get a lower monthly rate). TTD also doesn't give any sort of perks to those that donate. Well, they get a Thank You email, but no special forums or special tracker or ratio credit. We have chosen to do it that way for many of the reasons already outlined in this thread.
