Hi All,

I was wondering if a donation button could be created for those that don't want to have a subscription, but would like to just donate money to the creators of the site or has this already been made and I'm not seeing it?

Why not simply subscribe for one year and then cancel?

I will add this - it might prove useful, as any support is appreciated!

The value of regular banner ads is trending to zero fast (on the internet as a whole, it appears) - and I can't see that changing - so a donation option would potentially help in the near future.

Many people have played here for over a decade and have chosen not to subscribe in all that time...so perhaps a donation option might work?

How about the "buy me a coffee" thing? I come across many sites where I don't want to sign up forever but I'm happy to cough up for a small one-off with no strings.

Yeah! This! I've been playing here for quite a long time, and I just don't want to do the subscription thing because I just want to play chess with my buddy and that's it, but I'd like to give a donation for all the great times I've had playing here.

So, please and thank you just make a donation button...well, not for coffee, but for cash, and I'd be happy with that.:-)

I don't really need the subscription, but I'd appreciate it having the donation button there so that I could show my appreciation to you folks for all the awesome times I've had here playing chess with my buddy. Thanks!:-)

I have added a donation button below, which is managed by PayPal, but you can also use a debit/credit card. The PayPal account is in the name of netAdapt - the company name that manages all things RHP.

Just type any donation you like. Thank you!

And also a "Buy me a coffee" account if you prefer :

Hey Russ,

Would you be able to actually post that on the website possibly right under "Subscriptions" so other fans will be able to donate too?

Thanks again for all the great times I've had on this site over the years.
