Some of you may have recently noticed a small change to our homepage. LPLive is humbly requesting your help. For the first time in our 5 years of existence, we're asking for donations from our users. This will help cover the costs of acquiring exciting new exclusives and further improving the community. For example, the Hybrid Theory 8 Track Demo CD that included 'She Couldn't' and the Camden 2004 proshot video required significant monetary contributions from LPL staff.

We have avoided asking for donations for a long as possible, but for us to remain completely ad-free (something we take very seriously when thinking long-term about the site) and to continue providing new exclusives we feel that it is necessary to ask for donations. Users who contribute $10 or more should supply their LPL forum username so we can acknowledge their generosity as well as granting a user title of their choice. As always, thanks for the support of the site over the years and for helping us keep it, as always, "For the fans, by the fans."

ME contributes If you want to raise some money we could make a ebay sale instead of a giveaway i am trying to do, but-its-hard-to-get-in-contact-with-you-Mark

btw, there is a lotto accrual tomorrow, 50 million. Give me 6 numbers between 1 and 49

LOL! Email me at mark(at)lplive(dot)net and I'll reply asap.

Numbers? 8, 12, 19, 24, 33, 45.

Message sent. Thx for the numbers Waiting for more. If those are the winning ones (if not all 6, anything from 3 to 5 same numbers win something, depending on how much coupons have been bought ), the profit will be sent as a donation If i win 50 million, well i'll buy you lol

Mark damn, its supposed to be 4,8,15,16,23,42

Lol! I knew this would happen:P +1 for the lost maniac

Donated. Maybe there should be a special Group for Donators? :3

LPL isn't for sale



Thanks! That's a good idea, let me email staff and run it by them.

just asking. it'll be public how much has been raised? xD i'm just curious about how much donations will recive LPL

Somebody is forgetting 2008.

shh that didn't happen. just as there never had been an LPL 3.0

Hopefully someone more trustworthy will handle these donations this time around. @_@

Can a staff member PM me the average monthly cost for LPL? I'll send some $$$ over for a few months.

I didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to that but you are right. You live and you learn with that. Our huge mistake with that was trusting one person in the staff with the account that donations were going to. To this day I don't even know how much was gathered. I was VERY hesitant to even think about doing this again after that but we really need it and we've held off until the very last minute. Repeated attempts to get that weren't responded to so I just chalked it up to a bad experience.



Yes. We have taken many precautions this time in doing so but I guarantee that will never happen again. The staff email "thread" (gmail) has been going since September 2nd...112 emails (99 then it makes it go to another thread, 13 there) discussing this. This time you're going to see results. We are working on some stuff that will be AWESOME.

I'll talk to Dmitry and get back with you soon or have him PM you.

How does one donate?

Home Page, Up top. Press Donate.

Have you thought about adding advertisements to the site? I don't really have much to donate, but I can certainly click on few ads each time I visit.

Add the donate button to the top of the forum. Many more views that way!

Sorry I can't donate BTW what happened in 2008?

I Agree. I click the Forum button even before the Forum button text loads, so i hardly ever see whats on the front page. I'm too eager to go to the forums, not hang around on the home page.

Donate $1.
Become Donator?
I think i abused the group.

Sorry, double post.

Cool story bro.

Damn. LPL 3.0, I remember that. The good old merge with LPU-I or whatever the site was called.

finally...
I will donate a little bit soon.

I made slight changes to the original post.



Advertising isn't lucrative enough to justify ruining the website's decorum.

I donated!!

I have followed this site for awhile and wouldve donated sooner If i had the chance.

FINALLY! I've been offering for nearly three years, it's time to DONATE EVERYTHING!

Good to see the loop hole has been fixed.

I'd donate but then i'd have no money for porn

Just donated $10! I've been on this site so long, so even though im kinda short on money I can spare the 10 dollars. Hope it helps.

yeah mark will get 2 good beers for those 10$

Haha after all we have gotten on this site, i feel I owe him some haha

Just chipped in with 10 bucks...I have to pay rent in a couple days so I can't be spending too much, but having been a part of this site for about as long as anybody, I figured it was the least I could do.

donated, for a few beers would be

Donated some money yesterday. Will do so again every month (Unless i'm broke!)



They deserve some help from us lot. They all put in so much effort into making this site what it is today.

Well done guys/gals

I threw some money in the pot as well, I figure with all that the staff has done for me (mainly off site) it'd be a good idea to throw back some respect in the form of cabbage

When I donate, do you make new T-Shirts for lpl in the future ? Or is the money for that kind of things like for example the T-Shirt. I haven't a LPL T-shirt it would nice to know if you maybe do that in the future.

Thanks to everyone who donated so far!

We might sell t-shirts again next year.

I would donate but I never got my lplive t shirt so that was basically a donation!

I posted in your thread a few months ago that anyone who did not receive a shirt after the last batch was sent out should PM me directly. You never did, so I assumed you got one.

Haha.

Don't have a card man,I'd love to help LPL because I love this fansite
