To be clear, donations go to the site owners who are currently paying for everything out of their own pockets. If you can spare them some change to help lighten their burden, please do.
That's only a financial contribution if there are advertisers they can deliver you to.
There are not. Meaning they get no $$$ from your participation to cover the cost of running the site.
Again I don't care if you donate, but don't lie and pretend that your presence here is helping generate the revenue necessary to run the site. That's only the case when there are advertisers paying the site owners for ad space and clicks.
On the contrary, your presence here is costing the site because that's server load they have to provide service to which isn't generating any revenue to cover the server cost.
Just stop. Your presence here in no way helps the admins cover the financial cost of running the site. You are (at present) a cost, not a revenue stream. We all are. Which is why they're accepting donations.

That April, Facebook started selling bits and pieces of ad space to companies promoting moving services, T-Shirts, job listings, and other offerings for students.

Donating seems like a good way to end up on some list. Unless of course we’re already on a list. Hello RCMP officer, this account only posts satire.
