It could be perceived as unprofessional by potential customers if the official forum of the company is ad supported.
Exophase
Nothing good will ever come of Exophase.
So could asking for donations. Just saying. I don't know how relevant that is at this point.
That said, I'm sure many people here would rather donate than deal with ads, if it came to that.

Not necessarily. Having just a badge for forum support splits the community into two groups: Those that supported the forum via donation and those that did not. Having a multitude of badges breaks us up into much more meaningful groups, so I feel the urge to dismiss non-contributors is less.
You know what.... Nevermind. Clearly I am talking out of both sides of my mouth and I'm starting to see that. Please ignore everything I've said about badges. Just let all users have access to news and purchases and I'll go sit back in my corner until there is another forum topic that needs muddy-ing. =)

People really like blinky's coin better than Muggie's? blinky's idea for forum icons is great, and the rest of those icons look good, but his coin doesn't even look like a coin. Do people seriously prefer that over Muggie's? Muggie's coin looks damn good and should be used. The heart looks great, too. Maybe make it optional for people who donate.

Anyone who dismisses the opinions of others based on whether or not that person donated is clearly an idiot whose opinion should be dismissed.

I prefer Muggie's. Blinky's icons are hosted somewhere that is apparently blocked at work so I can't see them

It's hosted on the server that the forums are on. It's uploaded as an attachment to the forums. They should be visible if you can use the forums. Are you sure you're not forgetting to click the link next to the attachment icon? It only shows up in the post for on his original post. It doesn't show up in quoted posts unless you click the link.I prefer Muggie's. Blinky's icons are hosted somewhere that is apparently blocked at work so I can't see them

Reasonable people will automatically dismiss opinions based on that way of thinking...

Somehow, I felt inspired to make a Coin...
Imagine this in 20x20 Pixel of course. ^^

Blender for the 3D Model, I was able to use Bezier Curves for the entire Coin ^^. Gif Animation made quickly in Photoshop.

I love that animation. For some reason it reminds me of Donkey Kong Country 2. :lol:
I agree that Muggie's coin is heaps better that mine but I' not sure weather animated ones would be too prominent on a page?

Precisely.because of this maybe?
Although I was thinking of the smaller banana-printed coins.

I think we should have "levels".
Kind of like the geek-code, but with icons. For example, I've only ported one app - others have ported more. Some porters are god-like and make high quality software for the Pandora, where others just hit the compile button and bundle the result in a .pnd. What about those of us that have been around since the Craiginator days on GP32X? A "long service" medal or somesuch comes to mind.
