Do you "Donate" to software/sites?

    So I was messing around looking for a flick and a site came up as being possibly malware or something. I got this message saying so and after follwing the message link i came to http://www.stopbadware.org/

    There is a donate button on the site and liking the nature of it I donated $10. It is not something I do too often but every now and then I use a site or a piece of freeware, like greenshot (One of the best utilities ever!) and I make a donation. I wouldn't do it to often for sites, maybe twice a year, if even that but I do donate to good freeware when I can.

    Does anyone else? :confused:

    Yeah I've donated to video hosting sites, eh for no particular reason...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Im skimpy on donations, mostly in part to never having cash when i think of it. I may have donated to ccleaner once.

    If only all of the software companies had a "donate" button, then we wouldn't have to pay for any of it.

    I'm very generous. If it's free I like to let other people pay for it.

    I wonder do the companys that 'jailbreak' phone give a dontion after all they are using the persons code and charging 40-50€ to basically install an application on the phone.

    Also gave a few quick to a lad on a 'sharing links' forum for hosting etc... Chaps site is ranked in the top 500 world wide.. Convinced he is behind another very popular site ..
