Like I donate $15 a month, automatically, every month. I've been doing this for years. This has just been lagniappe on top of my supporter payments for both my account and Crosseye's account.
I don't know what you've been doing with that money all this time, but I trust your judgment. I figure you're paying the admin team or buying Luis beer, all necessary to keep NG running.

What if you started a gang where people paid like $10 a month or $20, and then you could move it as needed?
I feel like that would be about the same as donating $100 for one project?

I dunno. I'm supposed to be doing grown up things right now but instead I'm about to watch Madness stuff. I'm not a responsible adult.

It's something to keep in mind but we would likely need to set up a secondary Supporter option for it and the current Supporter subs already don't cover hosting and development. I also like the idea of people donating specifically to projects they like, so if they are a David Firth fan they can feel good sponsoring Salad Fingers but if they aren't, they can skip sponsoring and not feel like their money was wasted.

Not everyone ended up chipping in $100 for the Salad Fingers sponsorship (some less, some more) but I like the goal of $100 as a first-time "buy in" to the group, with the option to pay less for future sponsorships or sit them out. Each sponsorship could start in-gang and if the goal can't be met, it would become an opportunity for new people to join the gang.

that seems like a good idea Tom for making money. I do have a few ideas that has been floating around my head for a while this seems like the most appropriate place to post here ~~

Let's have a looksy here...

I think you'll find there is little appetite for Crypto-anything including NFTs. The hardware consumes a great amount of energy and contributes to global warming. NFTs are straight up scams.

We have advertised festivals in the past. I believe the barn art collective does this every year?

Licensing is expensive and complicated legally. The NG Money Gang has paid thousands at this point to have a week of exclusive rights to Salad Fingers and Monkey Wrench. Advertisers are hesitant to work with NG because of all the PR0N.

In my opinion, Animators that have worked with Machinama specifically have had issues with creators-- who have lost their rights to their work. Youtube is Google (who is now Alphabet) and they have in the past told Tom they want nothing to do with us financial-wise because PR0N.

Good idea, but whom-- and do their stakeholders know whats on this website? They need to be very open minded and liberal imo.

Not sure what Tom pay for rent now or even Taxes... Pennsylvania's Tax system is... Archaic to say the least.
