there are those that toss $$$ at njaguar just to get stars and a listing on the top donor list.

Then there are those that work for the betterment of the site.

I'd rather see more of the latter get rewards rather than the former

I think Anybody who is a donor (as in pure donor, not bought fg) should be placed in that group, and get slight benefits for it.
Nothing major, but enough inclination to get more people to donate

You could say these for possible benefits:
10 seconds off the flood filter control
Extra pictures in post (1-3 nothing major!)
5 or 10 extra PM's in Inbox
Extra Title Features (maybe implement 1 or 2 title features available only for donors)
Longer time to edit posts (an extra 10 minutes or so)

These are just some examples, as you can see really do not give any truly unfair advantages to donors, but does make it a bit cooler to be one . I feel that if donors had more to it then just having stars or donor forum, MANY more people would be inclined to donate.

sort of like how when you donate to kids in africa they send you tshirts and pictures.
Let me know your guys' thoughts, i felt this would be a good move on Njaguars part, and helps the donors slightly

I think there are probably more people who would take the forum gold over those benefits in exchange for giving money to the site... And we already know most of the "pure" donors from the donor forum already...

Fair point, but how do we gauge this?

A donation implies, not getting anything in return.

recognition and a few benefits, arent really anything here on the internet, but for some reason a lot of people seem to think so

stop thinking about now, and in the past. think the future, thats what this suggestion is suited for

Well. since were dealing with the Human race, more people are into getting something, rather than absolutely nothing. I would bet with you, that anyone who wants absolutely nothing in return is in single digits % compared to those who would want something

Yes I am a donor and would like this.
Voted this one but let me fix it in post:

I am a donor and I dont care if it happens or not. I dont need any changes for Donors but if you do, no problem for me.
