Hey speedrun.com. The ads here are particularly annoying. I know I could just turn on an ad blocker but I'd like to support the site. I'd be happy to throw in some money for an ad free experience.
Thanks.
I would also like to donate xd Lets start a petition Like this post if you want there to be an option to donate
I have😎 Are you gonna join my petition xd
This has been suggested since the first day of the take over.
Well Original Donors are people that donated before ELO. Donors could be people who donate after ELO.
why does elo want people to not give them money i don't understand
bring back donations
Yeah. I did donate back when it was possible, so it does not feel good to have to use an adblocker on the site now.
While I will always use adblock, even if a site doesn't have ads, just because I like to, I still find it weird that while people who originally donated are just recognized and aren't excluded from the ads (assuming that's the case from what people are saying here), although it is nice that they kept the donor tag despite possibly recieving 0% of the prior site donations. Not sure why they removed donations, but back when I donated it was just because I liked how easy this site was to use to find speedrunning communities and WRs, not to remove ads or whatever, so if nothing I think it'd be cool for them to add that option back for those who want to, even if there are no associated benefits.
I think having ads to guarantee the future of this site without doing anything crazy like monetizing actual site aspectes is honestly a positive, but there probably should be some way for your average internet user who doesn't use things like adblock to be able to get rid of them, even if it is at a steep price.

Baked in ads give the site revenue so cool, whatever. If you let people donate to view without the ads then that's even better.
But it shouldn't come at a worse user experience because you want to pad 50% of the page width with them. Please, let me view the variables without having to hover over every single run individually.
(As for why its NG+ Difficulty, the variables page becomes miserable to work with when 10 different categories use the same name)
I'd donate even if ads weren't removed Just for the role🥺
