Good feedback guys. To answer some questions & address some points:
+We're mainly doing this b/c yes server costs are high, but don't worry about limiting images - we currently have no usage issues. We just figured why not. So many other sites have been doing this for years, and since we now have an opportunity to offer people something in exchange for their donations, we would be 'leaving money on the table' by not having a program.
+We appreciate your offers for extra donations, but you guys do enough as it is. We'll give all of you mods a 10% Huskernation coupon code free of charge. If you really still want to buy a donor membership package, we'll bump you to the next level for no charge. So if you pay for a Gold, you'll get a Scarlet.
+Good point Frank, I'll re-phrase the comment about lower than stubhub. I'm not worried that ticketexpress will ever go lower than TH -- their prices are just ridiculous.
+We'll have an option for someone to donate less than $25, but it won't earn them a "membership". However, donations will accrue, so they can build up to the Bronze level eventually.
+It's a good idea for a "non-annual" donation amount, but unfortunately if we allowed a monthly donation for say $2, we would run the risk of people canceling after 1 month just to get the discounts. Also we need to create unique discount codes for each member, so it makes it much easier to set 12 month parameters to make the discount codes expire if they don't renew.
Hope that answers all the questions. Let me know if there are any others, and thanks again for everything you guys do.
