That's flattering. Thanks. However, to you, and to everyone else that would consider giving money to a third party service..I suggest to everyone to take a good look at this community and offer money to the places that deserve it. Places like FilePlanet will always be around in one form or another, and frankly it's not that bad of a thing because we don't really have a very viable solution to how we could host the large M:R downloads anyways, BUT..there are a lot of servers and sites in this community (umm..the site you're reading this on, for example) that can greatly benefit from people's donations...on the same token, if there are enough people that would and could truly donate, I'm sure the community (with some organization skills) would be able to pay for it's own damn hosting service to host all the amazing stuff that's coming out..such as Aleph One, all the scenarios, MODs, music, M:R etc.

In short, if anyone's got money to burn, if you feel obscenly generous you can give some to FilePlanet, but get together with everyone else and see how you can positively and realistically help this community directly.
