So this idea I thought of (actually stole, shh) is having a donation pot on the site. The basic idea is that people make a donation and it goes into a pot. Every month we do this and once the deadline goes, we make a "drawing" for everyone who donated. The winner of the drawing will get half of the total amount donated and the website will keep the other half (for future forums and also just keeping the site up in general). This way, everyone wins. Thoughts/opinions?
Result: ...Maybe

Re: New Poll 09/18/2013
No. It would make me donate less than before (if I donated).
I donate to help this site grow. Not to fill someone else's pocket. And even if I won, I'd give it back to the site anyways.
tl;dr: it basically feels like gambling and I don't really dig that.

I would donate if I knew how. So a donation box would be easy access to that...

I accidentally voted for the wrong one... But I agree with Zup. I wouldn't want my donations to go anywhere, except the site itself. You'll end up only getting half as much money for the website.
Re: New Poll 09/18/2013
The point of the idea is just to see if we can actually get people who don't donate, to donate. If there's an incentive, then people are more likely to donate. If we can get a ton more donations than we do now, then in the end the site will make more. However, it all depends on how many are willing to donate.

EXACTLY. But it's hard to calculate the amount of $...
