I finished RTK 1 three weeks ago. Time for a donation. I am not rich, so I try to mobilize as many people as possible until December 25th to make a donation for Fabrice, as a Christmas present.
I just donated €10,00. If I can get 50 people to do the same we get a nice sum for Fabrice.
Dec 31: "Wulfgar's all or nothing extravaganza 3.0" has just started!!!
If we make it to €1900 by DEC 31 11:59 CST -6GMT wulfgar will donate €101 to pass the €2000 mark!!!!
This is the updated total of all donations so far:
€1,535 / $2,032.95 / £1,1285.19 / 170,078円
we're €365 from meeting the chalenge.
Thank you for your donation!
Please do the following:
1. Reply here in this thread and let us know the amount you're donating
2. Immediately do so via the "Donate" link at the top right on the ReV the Kanji start page.
3. Subscribe to the thread so you're always up to date
C'mon guys and gals, €5, €10, €20 - anything you can afford - I'm sure every student can afford €5 for a great site we all spend so much time on, and that has been so helpful to all of us.
That's a couple of beers - you wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy a beer or two on a Friday night, right??
So, just do it! If you never donated - now's the time to make a difference, especially after all the hard work Fabrice has put into the custom keywords... If you donated before, then just do it again, this is a great community and we owe it to Fabrice. Think of all the money you'd have to spend on lessons and classes without this community!
I'll keep this thread alive and up on the "Recent Topics" list until December 25th. We're aiming for €500 - let's show the world there is a Santa Claus!

Maybe keeping track of a total isn't that important. True, I was surprised to learn Fabrice gets only 15 donations a month for about 1500 regular users of RevTK (but the site is free after all).
Point is, if you can get 50 people (or more!) to donate this month, that would be a great achievement already. No need to stress out the numbers, isn't there?
Who, me? I already donated last month or so. Maybe I'll do a gesture if I'm in a Xmas mood...

Just donated 10 euros. I'm very glad to see a thread like this and I completely agree that the numbers really make a difference with its motivation factor. For example, someone sees that 190 euros have been donated so far and thinks, "If I donate an extra 10, we'll reach 200," since as humans, we tend to think in round numbers and see them as milestones and all.

I don't think we can gather 50 donations. There were ~1830 users logged in the past week. The number of people in position to donate is just a proportion of the reach of the website. Going for a conservative 1% of users, that would be a realistic target of 20 donations.
It did receive close to 450 € one month, while I was running my "India trip" donation run, but there was a big bold banner on the forum and the main site.
RevTK is in a very small "niche" to the best of my understanding. After five years, the userbase doesn't drop but it doesn't grow significantly either. That said, the forum monthly visits have been growing steadily since January.
Anyway, I'm currently living on my savings so every little bit helps
