What about making the second link accessible only to donators (if you don't donate, you don't get all those nifty multi-local options)? Or would that kill the perk for the folks uploading?

I guess the question is what's more important: getting more people TO donate or giving more perks to the people who were going to donate anyways.

I'm happy with what I have, I don't feel this site has to do more for me, as a donator. Not to keep me donating every year and not to keep me feeling like I'm getting my money's worth (so to speak). But if the goal is to get more money coming in, then I'm not the kind of donator that new and improved perks should be targetting because a-m-v.org already HAS my money anyways.

Maybe the goal should be to get people to increase their donations, not necessarily increase the number of donators. It's a lot easier to get someone already willing to donate to donate a little more, than to get someone who wasn't going to donate at all to fork over their cash. For instance, if a double link scenario was implemented, arrange it so that a certain donation amount is required before that perk becomes available. It would put the cost of the perk squarely on the shoulders of those taking advantage of it, for one thing, and offer pretty clear evidence for how many people actually were interested enough in that as a perk to support it.

Don't implement perks only a handful of people care about if the point is to increase donations. :|

If the perks are easy to implement, though, implementing a bunch of them might be more beneficial than the sum of the individual perks themselves. Sorta a "here's a hundred more things you get - a doubling of the site's capabilities - for simply donating. Like cripple-ware, but in website form.

quite honestly, it had been mentioned back before and I thought it would help alot with donations:

More profile page customizations.

I'm not saying turn it into the next emospace... I'm just saying give people who donate more options on their profile page. like background color/pictures... i dunno doesn't have to be hard to implement stuff. Just having the extra options kinda balances the facts that your one of the only ones paying to keep the site alive.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

I don't care HOW many pages you drag this on for, I'm NOT going to donate until I've received my hookers.

This is the reason I donate as well.

More guilt...
or
Maybe give donators the flexibility to delete or replace their AMVs without the mod/admin process (I know the charter of this site is a catalog every AMV on the planet but it wouldn't cost much and it's a perk the editor could decide to use or not)
