Thanks guys and much thanks to Bernie!!! Few ever did something like this on my behalf so it's almost surreal seeing this, probably only the 2nd time...
Sadly, without programs like what ProfessorP and Bernie did here or other creative donation drives/ideas, I'm willing to bet most fan translators with a Paypal icon see 99% of the public ignore it (#donors over #downloads ratio) - those are my stats for impressive Falcom Ys games for the Windows PC, so I can't imagine fans that do NES/SNES translation patches ever did better than me but I don't have anybody else's stats as that isn't typically shared... Not only that, Ys fans from the PC era stuff I did were just good for demonizing when I tried an early access donation program/drive for a beta Felghana patch back in 2007 something that they still obsess and demonize me over cause it's ALWAYS supposed to be FREE-FOR-ME ya know!
Moral of the story is you needed to have learned how to integrate ads in your site or software long time ago if you wanted to generate some cash from hobby work and even then you'd have to become really successful... Not gonna happen from the fans that consume your software or unless you're clever as all hell say with gofundme somehow... I dunno, but I do know 99% don't care to pay a dime for fan translation work so you should know that way before you ever invest any time in it.
Anyway, as I was typing and hit preview, I see the thread closed, so thanks again to all that participated and to Bernie! If only there were more like him.
