I realize that this is off topic and that I may be chastised for posting but I will take my chances. I really enjoy the work you guys do and would like to show my appreciation by donating. Therefore, I ask what is the consensus of the forum; donate to XDA or to the individuals whose work I have benefited from?
Donate to one or to all.
This site is (I expect) quite costly to host - so if you don't have much dosh put it there.
If you use a chefs roms a lot, or get a lot of help from a user, or if someone saves you a pile of cash by unbricking your phone then donate to them directly.
In the most part, the users who have a donate link in their signature are generally people who cook, modify or help a lot.

I say donate to all but maybe this thread should have been started in the Kaiser General section or here in the General Discussion. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 This really doesn't have anything to do with Kaiser ROM development, nor specific to Kaiser in general. I understand why you posted it here as this is the most popular thread.

Thanks for your understanding. I did see that section but I figured I would get a better response in here. This is completely research motivated and if I could remove this thread after the 7 day poll, I would.
You and everyone should donate to both XDA and the individual developers. Obviously, donate to XDA to keep the site running. If you use one of the developers Rom's and like it, why not drop $10 or $20 to the developer to show your appreciation. If one of the senior members spends a lot of time helping members and noobs, why not drop a few bucks their way. Some people spend a lot time helping, maybe they don't contribute Rom's, but their continued support of Noobs and others are also well appreciated. (maybe they should stop the noob bashing, but even though they often try to humilate the noobs, they still try to help them)
Can't vote on your poll as I think you should have an option to Donate to both
What no "both" option?
The individuals deserve compensation for their work.
The site needs money to stay up do to the sheer amount of information here.
The "both" option is absent for a reason. There has to be a definitive answer on some level. The very reason for asking the question was to ascertain who should be the benefactor of a donation. It would be great to give everyone their due but as we are all working class people and money doesn’t grow on trees, a solitary choice must be made...until one of us strikes it big and remembers their friends
This is a simple and awesome game to bring up our "Thanks Meter!".
Heres how you basically do it on this thread
1. "Thank" everyone who has written on this thread so far
2. Post a comment on the thread so that the next people who view can "thank" you too!
Lets Start!
Nice game!
It should go in off topic but I like it a lot
I love warm cookies with whole milk.
Sounds like a good thread to be apart of
So some moderators are discouraging 'abuse of the thanks system' while others are encouraging it. Gotta love the way XDA-D is consistently inconsistent.
I don't think a few thanks here and there should be a problem but as you said abuse is not good.
Regarding consistently topic Senior Moderators will have the final word on this and we all will respect and support it.
Just want to be able to thank people for taking the time to share useful information. XDA is a great community filled intelligent people; they need to be thanked...and donated to whenever possible. Apparently, a user needs one post to see the "Thanks" button, and I hope this post works.

See this, good info sir.

He spends so much of his time and energy for the good of the sgs4g community the least we can do is send him a donation. I for one have sent him one and I encourage everyone to do that same. It doesn't ha e to be a lot if you can't afford it, but nothing says thank you more than some dollars appearing in your paypal account.
Thank you erikmm for not giving up on the sgs4g.
Please post here if you donated so we can show everyone your support.

OP I understand your intent here, but this Member has a donation button, that if other Members feel the need to or requirement to donate they can do so, but soliciting for donations in this manner is against Forum Rules.
Thank You.
