I just feel this gives off the wrong vibe. This was just changed within the last 24 hours.

In my eyes donor fits more for a site as d2jsp than customer. For a site where you only have the possibility to buy something, customer would be fine.
But on jsp you don't have only this kind of person, it's a community and you have also people who donate to the site to show their support, without anything in return. (so a donor)
I don't like/want to be "called" customer, so you have my yes.

Agree. Customer is tacky.

Either that or change the site name to d2jsp-mart

agree with this 100%

the change imo is dumb, you'd have to pm the top "customers" though and ask them their opinion, because they're the ones paying for it

I totally agree.

Donors looked way more better than Customers because really those users did Donate.

Voted Yes because customer gives off the wrong message (IMO).
I'd rather be called a "Donor" instead of "Customer". :)

This site is not, nor has it ever been a charitable organization, and as such, everything paid is and always has been a purchase, not a donation. Using terms such as donations and Donors is confusing, and is being corrected where necessary. If a different synonym for Customer (such as Patron) is preferred, I am open to such suggestions, but will not be changing it back to a term that is not applicable.

edit: Other vague terms such as "Supporter" are also not going to be used. The avoidance of ambiguity is important, which is why Customer was chosen. It fits 100% in line with what it has always been both technically and literally.

Thanks
