    It´s quite strange. I don´t want to mix in Pay Pal, just donate by MasterCard function. But donation seems not to pass without creating Pay Pal account and pw... Dodgy..

    Page seems to be 'Powered by Paypal' but it let me go to pay with my card.

    Paypal is safe though.. used it for many years.

    Thanks to 600 supporters we funded 62% of the requested amount. We really appreciated it, but it is ONLY 62%. For us it's an important signal that the current financial model is wrong and we have to prepare some model with very limited free access.

    Full access will be for subscribers only. We are NOT happy about it, but the hard work we are doing daily for the rally community is not valued. Or maybe it is, but we need to feel your support.

    While I am also a bit surprised they didn't get enough funds there were also issues with the donation platform. For me it was impossible to use credit card until I manually changed browser settings, no matter what browser I used. The worst part was that everything looked ok until the very end and then the payment failed. It certainly does not inspire confidence/thrust when you enter all credit card details and confirm the payment using your banks authentication solution and then suddenly you get an error.

    Anyway something like a yearly subscription service for say 20-50 euro with limited number of logins for free could work.
    The main issue probably is that it should be some robust and simple to use authenticating platform.

    No excuses. I think its that most people just expect every website to be free.

    eWRC.com gets millions of unique visitors yet only 600 put in a donation.

    Finally I succeeded in giving my share via Pay-Pal.

    They´re worth every cent.

    Pretty rude and impolite to say that 62% (now already 81%) is ONLY and they don't feel support from fans..
    especially to them, who have already donated..
