> As I've stated at least once on my board, I'm probably never going to accept any donations of any sort, because then people (myself included) might get it into their head that I owe them something for their money. I like doing the work and everything, but that'd be the sort of obligation that I really don't think I'd want. If anything, I've been toying with the idea of setting up a few cafepress shops with a number of different t-shirt designs, so people could still contribute a little if they wanted and they'd get a t-shirt for their trouble. (Not to mention that -I'd- buy most of the t-shirts myself... ^_^)
If you do that do it away from your romhacking/translation stuff. As even if you don't want it to,people would still think that since they are sending money to you even if they get a shirt,they still some how deserve something. Not to mention you are in some way making a profit off of your hacking work.
