[QUOTE="The_Stig, post: 172153, member: 12276"] mattyd: Sorry to takeover your thread. I think we as a team are a bit thin-skinned currently because the moaning has reached a level in the last time that simply is about to get too much. I fully understood that you didn't want to sound it as moaning and I got your point fully. Thats why i-loop tried to explain why that stuff got included. I now would like to make a general statement (which isn't directed at you in any relation, but just something that needs to be said imho) Let me answer for him. Look e.g. at the call for help at the redesign of MyTV. There have been a handfull of people who really took the time and thought about concepts. We really appreciate this kind of help but still we need more of it. We have many thousands of members and there are so few who have good ideas about what to change at the MyTV-Section? <personal meaning, no team-statement> Second point: MP got really big. Server costs for hosting virtually explodes. Furthermore there is steadily new hardware on the market and everyone expects it to work with MP. But how can Devs/Testers get all this stuff working. We can't afford every single TV-Card, GFX-Card or whatever. So thats the point which leads to donations: I know this is a OpenSource non-profit project and it really makes much fun to work for it. It's a great team and I feel pleasured to be in it. But there are costs too for the project and the donations are - considering the amount of downloads/users - not really noteworthy. </personal meaning> So to what leads this? We need contribution in any way: And there are two ways: 1. Time (clear&full bug reports; new ideas; even coding&bugfixing is possible for everyone that is able to code) 2. Money (donations) Point #2 is most important. Maybe point #2 sounds a bit harsh and it is really no cry for money, please don't get me wrong. It's just to point out that EVERYONE can contribute in the one or other way. And you sould keep in mind that every little amount of contribution (alternative #1 or #2) helps to keep MP alive.
