Aside from the green part, I think our wee phallic thing going on up there in the upper right is pretty close to what you describe. This is our third year in with donations, and we've been hitting our modest goals thus far.

That said, I am ruminating on a thing that makes it feel a bit more rewarding. However, it's really not important to me whether or not a user has donated, so I'd kind of like it to be a shared reward. If you are contributing, then you make Hubski worthwhile for someone that is in a place that can donate.

It's worth thinking on.

My

    wee phallic thing up there in the upper right
still says 2017. I'll donate $20.18 if you change the year. So will steve.

I imagine that comment will look strange in chatter.

I think lil just said I have a "wee phallic thing".

I'd like to complain to management.

($20.18 donated.... COME AT ME BRO)

In the year 120000 you will cover our costs single-handedly! :)

Only if Forever Labs is more successful than anticipated.

It hasn't changed... I think mk is aware of it - he just hasn't gotten around to it.... life being what it is...

I appreciate this.
