Patreon is just fine, for me. Between them and PayPal, I feel my money is safe. On top of that, I can place one call to my bank and cut it all off, and get my money back.

I am unsure what percent Patreon takes but, Wiz get's the majority of my donation, EVERY Month. That's the Point.

This site has helped me OVER, and OVER again, many times. If Wiz says he wants to use Patreon, I'm using it!

I mean.. no.. not at all.. If someone doesn't support something than some guy on the internet saying to use it shouldn't convince them to use it.

Very fair point :laugh:

I'm going to bail out of this topic, as there is clearly a lot more to this than I'm aware and I don't want to start a heated debate. Just wanted to see where the community stood with this...

Man, you’ve been around here forever. All of a sudden W1z is “some guy on the Internet?”

I can say I certainly didn’t see that one coming. :laugh:

I'm honestly surprised that after eyeing this debate he hasn't just pm'd us his business banking info. If he joins my institution I can email transfer at no cost to either of us.;)

It's a manual process because I have to figure out Patreon name -> Forum name, usually it's obvious ;)

Yeah I kinda figured... was just too impatient. Thankyou for the awesome forum! I spend 20 a month on crave, and this forum is far more entertaining. 5 bucks a month is worth it. C'mon all, if a guy on a fixed income can do this, I'm sure you all can!
