  1. What is the definition of Staff and Admin? Are they both - moderators? Or staff means a person who works for Brandon?

    Staff of a forum are all those people who have a duty on it or are commited to it in some way - generally moderators and administrators, but there can be also super moderators and collaborators. Usually they have powers that normal users don't, so they may use them to keep peace and quiet in the forum (and spike people :P).

    Admins have all the powers that can be had in a forum (banning users, creating categories, forums, promoting someone to moderator, giving awards...) whilst moderators have only a few.

  2. The percent bar is a double-edged weapon. People will stop donating when it reaches 100%. That mins there will be no extra if there is no money left for improving the server, the database, or if next month everyone is feeling that their hard-earned bucks should better go to the local bookstore... incluiding the admins.

    You get my idea XD.

  3. The "about" page has one at the bottom.

    Well, start by making that one more visible! XD. There might be more people willing to help who just didn't know there were a donating feature.

    I'm used to ads. Google ads, for example -they're unobtrusive, you can ask Google not to put certain ads, and Google tries to put ads related with the site's theme, even if it's because it'll give them more profit. And you would probably even make a profit, and not only cover expenses, with them. A friend of mine has a website with forums that take a lot of bandwith and I know how that works - even if just a little. And Google ads are that site's only income.

    And plushies would be awesome, I'm a plushie addict. You could even sell them by two prices: the 'normal one' and the 'charity nun' one - hell, don't take the name serously! Take the second one implies a... let's say, $3 donation. It's not the same going specifficaly to donate somethin, which has you making a positive decision... than saying: 'well, I don't mind giving these awesome guys a couple more bucks so later Chaos can ban me at his heart's content'.
