As I alluded to in another thread, running this site loses a decent amount of money. To help curb this and become sustainable we're going to try two new things:

1) Making it easier to donate and get recognized for donating. The main site now has a Hall of Fame and donation page.

With pRED's help the system is now automated. If you donate, you get the "Donor" member title automatically, as well as access to a special donors-only forum (see the page for more info).

2) We make almost no revenue from our ads so we're going to experiment a bit. Ideally, interested parties should be able to directly bid into advertising on the site. I'll post more on this when I have a better idea of how it will work. Rest assured, we won't allow pop-ups, ads with sound, or anything else horribly disruptive to the viewing experience.

In other news, the translator tool has gotten some tender loving care. It's all set to export languages for the 1.1 release. What will happen:

• When all blocking bugs with pending translation issues are fixed, 1.1 will be "string frozen." There is only one more such bug left.
• I will post news saying that the translation tool is open again. We will accept moderators for each language.
• Moderators will be responsible for making sure there is a 1:1 phrase to translation mapping. Every phrase should have exactly one translation. To ensure this, only moderators can use the tool now.
• For every language that has exactly one translation for each phrase, we will export that language and package it with each release.

Please do not ask to be a moderator until news asking for moderators is posted. There will be specific directions. It will be soon.

As always, thanks for your support! If you have any ideas/comments/questions feel free to post them.
