maybe I missed the announcement?
No doubt Brett will be posting an announcement real soon if NOT already done!

The fact that it's news to two well established contributors might suggest that Brett could improve the visibility of this offering though.
I am referring specifically to the "subscription" section/text on the Donate page, I regularly look over there and had not seen it before.
As for the supporters forum, well thats a whole new playing field :)

Cash is always low and I don't like running up credit cards, true monthly subscription is the answer -aV-
New indeed.
I checked it only yesterday before the subscription update.
As for someones comment about PayPal, all I can say is I have put 10's of thousands through them and clients have put well into six figures through them. We've never had a single problem. Chargebacks are virtually non-existent and payments are instantaneous. I've got nothing but good things to say about pp - every experience I've had with them has been rewarding and positive. I feel it is an outstanding service that fullfills a need and they do it better than any other payment processor I've seen bar none.
I fully acknowledge they had some problems when they were frist starting. They've corrected those and the last two years have been a perfect track record. I've never dealt with a company that I have as much to say positive about them as PayPal (knock on wood).
Compare that to the standard merchant account/internet gateway where I have had nothing but problems and headaches. From Verisign to the Ibill's it's been chargebacks, fraudulent cards, missing customer service, bad confusing interfaces, addon fees, and all around gotchas - I loath dealing with those people and their services. (verisign has been the worst company as far as products and services, that I have _ever_ dealt with in my years - worse than Microsoft) I feel I can lose 10% of my customers and still come out money ahead by using PayPal.
Split off the site topics on payment systems [webmasterworld.com].
