• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Please consider donating

Say, I know another poster asked, but I didn't see a response.

If we wish to contribute, but do not choose to keep a PayPal account, can we just mail a bank cheque?

You can donate through PayPal with a credit or debit card without having a PayPal account. And we do accept checks and money orders. PM me if you want the address to send it to.

Your dedication to keeping things on the up-and-up is admirable.

It's refreshing to see men and women who cannot be bought, and who refuse a 'pay to play' cash gratuity.

We can only wish that the Clintons had such high ethical standards.

Red enforces the rules alright. He gave me a warning the other day as I handed him $20 donation. Told me to clean the Executive Restroom better.

My infraction history is hard proof that donations play no role in moderator decisions.

I heard they had to use your donations to buy a new infraction machine.

It seems that in days gone by one was notified somehow or other after a donation. It appears that is no longer the case?

Go to make a donation. It will show in your profile. No one else can see it.

It's probably me, but I can't find it. I donated a few days ago, but can't see any record. Not to worry.

Look under User Control Panel, scroll down to donations. It should be there. Mine are.
 
...I still haven't been informed of whether or not I can mail in cash, or where to mail it to. Which is strange, considering American liked my post - at least one staff member has noticed my post.

Sorry Jesse, my PC died last week and it's been a lot of fun (TONS and TONS of sarcasm laid on here, really think too) restoring everything. I've sent you a PM.

I appreciate the PM almost as much as I appreciate the sarcasm about resetting everything after losing a computer (screams internally as the flashbacks ensue).
 
renewed my monthly donation subscription!
 
Bump
Only at 14.5 %. Perhaps some can consider making a donation.
Price of a cup or 2 of coffee a month does add up.

Greetings, Agent J. :2wave:

Last week, I renewed my annual Platinum for another year - it was not due until January, but I want DP to be here for a long time, and at less than a dollar a week, I consider it a bargain! :thumbs:

Many use ad blockers so no revenue.
Upgrades aside from server and software costs.
Each upgrade added costs money.
Also I asked but many months donations did not reach the monthly costs and I assume the owner paid out of his pocket.

You may have missed this.

Our forums are free. We rely on the community to help fund our forum.

However, the last few months we have not quite reached our monthly goal. We have been sustaining due to mail-ins, Tapatalk and a friend of the forum from last year.

We do not have advertising on our forum, except what is built-in to Tapatalk. Last month we pulled in a whopping $7.43 in shared ad revenue.
The decrease is mainly due to ad blockers. The average is around $19.

Our goal is to remain as transparent as possible which is why use Paypal. When we get a donation, it instantly pops up on our bar.
When we are fully funded for the month, it disappears. If the bar on the top right is gone, please wait until next month before donating.

As you long time DP vets know, we hate to ask for help. But, here we are. :(

Thank you for being a part of this amazing place we call Debate Politics.

I did not miss it - it was the lead off. Any website that has high enough traffic to place them on the first page of a google search get's the advertisers attention. Anything first page is big time.

And most people use ad blockers so note the revenue from adds. Do you use ad blockers?
