As lot of traffic does not always equal lot of money, especially on sites that don't go along with certain laws.
Well not sure why people mentioned it. Since you only asked for more ways to donate

Not exactly more ways, only "incentive" for the current ones.
I would compare it to having XP bar in cRPG games, because without it you may get impression you're not doing anything.

Comes to my mind: How much are we talking about (is there TPB any finnance info)? And should we be discussing that? If TPB needs more, would they tell the users?

Should we ? idk, I'm just a regular user concerned about the health of old friend.
Would it hurt if anyone knew ? In my country people are paranoid about their electric/water/other bills, ask someone how much they paid for energy last couple months and they get scared.
idk what's the deal, I pay 15 USD for Internet, 30 USD for electricity.. what's the secret about it.
I'm not asking for detailed financial info...
Only how much they need to accomplish the goal, this can include beer and bitches... whatever they need.
* At this point we don't even know if this is a financial problem, maybe it's technical that needs some fixing..

Sure thing - and around here most people don't mind that much, just if you ask strangers.
Maybe TPB isn't much into that kind of transparency for their reasons, I'm guessing if TPB will keep it low profile so incentive would've to be as discreete as possible. Accordingly, Sid didn't touch this touchy point. So my bet is the meter (progress bar) thing will be not to Winston's like. Just looking for stealthy alternatives.
Btw, tieing the meter thing with incentives in steps could be like the kickstarters do, a nice idea.

Yeah, too much of that "incentive" you talked about...

Yes, you probably got it right.
I didn't want to force my idea to anyone, just wanted to put it on the forum so they can think about it if they need to.
My time for sleep, I will leave this thread and let it float now.

Correct: no matter what it seems like you don't know the real issue.
What you do know is that nobody from TPB is asking anyone for any more money

What do you mean "make"? That is what we already have.

As we had that option but specifically removed it...I doubt it.

I doubt it. And I would hope not. And frankly I wouldn't believe them even if they did.

Sorry, bad choice of words on an absent-minded flow of ideas. Was thinking on how to make Massami's idea work and forgot it is already working!
