I'm just gonna say it flat out: Perks for donations is not a donation system. It's a purchasing system. Microtransactions in the worst possible way.
It's absolutely against every bit of ethics we have when it comes to donations. Donations are for those that like the server enough to want to contribute to it. There are no perks. There are no rewards, no skins, no names. All it is is a donor who feels good about themselves for contributing to what they spend so much time on.
It's also not like you can't just donate because you want to see more of our work. If we saw any sizable or decent donations, we'd probably continue working in GMod for fun. Either way, that's fine and dandy. Sure, give us a donation if you enjoy what we do to help support us, but we've made it very clear that we will not be rewarding people in any tangible way. It just feels wrong.
