As discussed in the previous Donation button thread, for several years we've had requests to add support for donations and have finally implemented it here:
Donate to Omega Forums
1759989096177.webp

The page supports single and recurring donations via Stripe + crypto. Many thanks to those who have already contributed extra support:
@JimInOz @Alex Cheers @pdxleaf @Canuck @Dan S @hant26 @Duracuir1 @rendo @YY77 @Charlemagne1333 @BlackTalon @NT931 @Meme-Dweller

All supporters will be permanently listed on the donations page "ΩF Legends" section. Thank you to all our usual Tier 1 & 2 subscribers too. We appreciate you. 🍺

The members overview area has also received some needed attention:
1759989891256.webp


You can view specific groups or expanded top 100 for some stat groups:

A bunch of misc bug fixes and minor refinements have also been pushed out. If there's any specific issues or improvements you'd like too see, or general likes/dislikes with any changes, feel free to message me directly.

To call these changes "the most excellent upgrade to any forum in the world" is an understatement.

There are some more changes, or rather additions coming in the medium to long term that should be quite popular but Trev is always working on quality of life stuff in the background and I know he has more of that in the pipeline as well.

Also some more articles diving into specific topics that are often asked about will be posted on the stories section too.

A few more minor style updates, mostly some of our typography updated to be more vintage-omega feeling and similar to customizations that we previously had before the last major update:

We've also added X/Twitter support for log in or sign ups:

A few more members have donated as well and added to the ΩF legends list up at: https://omegaforums.net/pages/donate-to-omega-forums/
Much appreciated. 😎

I don't like to critique changes to you guys hard efforts....but I must say that I neither like nor understand the changing of the colour from black to red of the main forum menu. Black I find both neutral and relaxed, red I find a much more urgent and aggressive colour. For me this place is a feel good place.....and as such should always feel relaxed.

We'd prefer if you did critique us, as the feedback is appreciated and always taken on board. Funny you mentioned the forum titles since that's not something I was personally a fan of, but a few people complained when the red titles-as-indicators were removed from forum list ages ago. 😀

Yes, and thanks for your contribution!

Did you happen to use one of our older stripe links? we hooked up reference ID's linking back to OF later on. Synced up yours manually. Cheers, Trev

Edit: seems to be an issue with Stripe. Investigating now
Edit 2: All sorted.

My pleasure and I used the one linked on this page.

If you need any help troubleshooting just message me. But I think you got it.

I just want to thank those who have supported the site, it helps a enormously, we're heading into Q1 which is the period advertisers pay the lowest and I know there are a lot of new members in that post-Xmas period so wanted to bump this thread for visibility

I think it should stay.
It's a good response to a post when none of the others quite fit.

Is it considered a "positive" then, like for a bold or brave statement ?

Thanks again to our subscribers and donors, normally Q2 starts to bounce back after a very weak Q1 in terms of ads but the instability in the world has led to it being even worse this year so our supporters are making a bigger difference than ever at the moment while ads aren’t doing very much
