So how will they be recognised on the forum? Surely the main Xbian web home page is the place. (aka Raspbmc) Also, how do you differentiate between a €1 donation and your Rolls Royce, Koens Ferrari 430 or MK's Veyron? I wish to keep my Dashia duster hidden - thank you very much :-)

Is there a difference between private donations and corporate ones? Also does "GeorgeAtAsda" donated $5 actually mean anything to anyone - apart from the user?

Also - surely those who donate their time is more important than just a monetary contribution, although I do know time does not pay for cars and servers!!

I'm just not too sure what you are trying to achieve here.

If you are trying to generate additional donations by actively promoting those who do, then the simple opt in/out will simply suffice, how you display those who do opt-in you haven't specified.

How about, changing MOTD to read "Xbian is brought to you by "Radical Washing Powders" (donated $50), they clean raspberry stains like no other?

You may guess I'm being cynical here, but "what are you trying to achieve"? Surely those who donate at the moment don't care. If you are trying to create additional donations, then make it clear.

Just in case anyone is in any confusion, no cars were freely exchanged in bringing Xbian to the world - I hope!
