You realise that without advertising tv shows, web sites, magazines, newspapers and radio wouldnt exist. Advertising is a wonderfull thing. Without it most people here would be dead bored 99% of the time.

Not just as an option, but for everyone? I personally do not support advertising in any form, because I think there is too much on the web already.

The adds aren't really an issue. o.o;;

Maybe not for you.

What I was pointing out, though, is that you don't have to see this stuff, and thus fighting it, for now, is moot. When advertising systems find a way to force themselves upon you, then you can start the fight up again.

You know why i didn't pledge, even a small amount?

Because in europe we simply use bank accounts to transfer money.

I would donate immediatly if i saw an IBAN and a SWIFT number on the webpage. I have no bank checks here and will never send money using mail. I don't want to use paypal because i don't have a paypal account. And last time i wanted to open one, it asked my credit card number to identify me. I do not trust paypal to keep my credit card number safe.
I would probably not pay a great amount (i use a-m-v.org only from times to times) but i would pay a bit

Maybe the Org could open a bank account for donations in Europe? Intra-EU bank transfers are cheap and easy.

They are not cheap they are free.

Well it depends on your bank's charges of course. (They're free for me too.)

That'd be a great thing, I would prefer donating this way, too

Seconded!
I don't think I will go through the whole "Pledge, save the donation page to disk, put it on my webserver, tell someone i know to click the donate via paypal button, send him the money" mess again when my donation status expires in a few days.

An IBAN, now that would save me all steps but the last one and it would save the Org the paypal fees.
Free, fast, secure.

You should really implement this but you should definitely consider implementing it.
