    Synthlight needs help

    I recently was looking through the forums and saw a message that synthlight recieves $5-$10 a month in donations. I think that the ffr community has more to offer than that. Give me your thoughts and suggestions on what we can do to help get some money.

            Find us a place with good prices, and perhaps.

              I've never gotten the donations page to show up. I wanted to buy some of those cds with songs like Uber Rave, but now I can't find where those are for sale anymore. If someone can tell me where I can buy cds from this site, then I'd probably buy some.

                I think that the merch is a good Idea, maybe we can find a domain that will allow someone to make shirts, hoodies, etc. I will look around for such a place, with best prices that I can find.

                  I'd buy a FGJ! CD fo' sho'. I would contact SpookGoblin on the matter, but then I'm afraid that none of the money would go to Synthlight.

                    I bought the downloadable $3 FFR a few months ago b4 R2 came out. I hope that helped a little bit.


                    Am I the only one that still wants the ffr simfiles back?

                      Not many of the people that play have jobs and extra cash lying around to donate. =/

                      IF YOU ARE THE BOMB YOU WILL CLICK THIS and if you dont, you suck.

                        Personally I don't think the donation page is emphasized enough. I've seen donations before, and just posting a link to a donations page will do nothing. It has to be advertised within the site somehow or else it's never going to have use.

                        As well as having the downloadable version I suggest having something on the site. Perhaps a special icon beside your forum name (if possible). Possibly an extra song in the game that's only attainable through donations? These little things, believe it or not will help a lot. I guarentee it.

                          Wow, thats a good Idea freak, donation songs and etc. Maybe synth can post a little donations thing in each post on the front page so that he can get some money that way. I do know however, that alot of us, even me sadly, dont have extra money sitting around. If only there was a PO Box number or something that he could use to let us help fund him. I do have some money though. I would like to see some of the new features that he has in store, up and running soon.

                            while I like freak83's idea, that is kind of going against what Synth believes in VERY strongly, that FFR should remain 100% free. If a certain song costs money to obtain, that's not 100% free. If he was really looking to make money/cover costs, he could easily have pop-up ads, make us pay to play/join, or have song packs costing 10-20 $'s, but he dedicated to keeping everything 100% free. Although maybe something next to your name would help, and wouldn't go against the 100% free idea...Good ideas guys.

                            Done, and done.

                              Too bad it doesn't exist...

                              yet.

                              Anyway, I'm a minor, so I have no means of getting money to Synth. Also, my parents are cheap and we're having money troubles since my sister had a huge wedding and now my mom is out of work for a while.

                              Expect a crapload of money from me once I'm old enough, though.
