I realize that if you're willing to pay more than something's worth just because it's a donation to a worthy cause, you should be willing to donate without the extra incentive, as demonstrated
here, BUT incentive is always a fun way to get everyone involved in raising funds for projects such as MyBB.
I think it would be cool to have an "Official Supporters" group for people who have donated 'x' amount to the project. They could have a "Supporter" badge in their profile or in the postbit on MyBBoard.net or they could have a usergroup image.
Just an idea. Let me know what you think.
We're currently looking into some fundraiser ideas...
I think a badge would be a good idea.

I guess I'd better start saving some money.
But what would you do with a badge?

I'm not sure what you mean. It would just be a little image that appears to the left of:
Posts: xxxx
Joined: {date}
and says "Official Supporter" or something.
I'll try to find an example.
Okay, as much as it kills me to link to DP,

I was thinking something like that, but aligned next to the Posts / Joined stats. Possible with the clouds from the logo.

Wear it proudly.
Exactly.

Nothing it's just like a recognition that you gave back to the project financially.
In all honesty, I don't really think MyBB is particularly in any financial difficulty. It really should be encouraging other aspects to help grow the community.
But do what you wish...
