No, there is not to my understanding.
I have actually considered adding kofi for one time donations and would like to add that as an option in the furture, but one time donations can be very sporadic and I need to see fairly consistent support atm so its not on my list atm.
Not atm, I plan on trying to set something up for that though once I get the wiki moderator sorted out.
The main reason I am locking down posting is to help Krod and I focus on getting moderation stuff sorted and new mods on by only having to deal with the current projects currently in the forum. I don’t think this will take us the full 6 months but may take us 2-3 to get fully sorted depending on irl schedules, ease of finding more mods, and how quickly the plan comes together.
As I said above if the goal is hit before the 6 month deadline and we are done with getting everything sorted out on the moderation side I will be happy to reopen the projects category early.
The thing is most “whales” don’t have an over abundance of money. There is quite a lot of research out about it but the general case is most of the highest spenders tend to not be in a good place to do so. And beyond that life happens. As with my ER visit anything medical related can put a ton of strain even on some one who is well off.
If I exclude TL0 we have around 20,000 registered users. If only 5% of them all donated $5 we would hit the goal np. Even with the $250 limit that only requires 10 donors. Its not unrealistic and I feel its a fair limit.
