i noticed you don't have a donation area most free programs have one if they are updated alot of course cheat engine is free but it is epic so no doubt alot of people would donate just for the point of being bored or wanting the next verson of cheat engine to come faster idk.. but you should set up donation area some randoms might donate somewhere in the world


also keeping this site up and running i doubt would be free

Cheat Engine has a Donation button if You go to Help->About in the menu. But I was thinking about a similar thing too. In fact, I was thinking about this concept:

If someone is donating and want some "reward", You could have a list with the donators forum name (I know the name can be changed but still better than nothing).

Or donators could choose to have a special rank, like "CE Donor" or anything that shows they have contributed something. I don't think this would be bad.
It would give
1. some reputation and the "special feeling"
2. good example that someone still cares to donate and support CE
3. maybe it would encourage more people to follow the good example

This would open the possibility to aquire reputation in the community even if the person don't have any skills, just want to ask things or request cheats. Like a VIP status or similar. You should think about it because it has many advanteges.

And yes, I know this concept is not new but there are no standards. Maybe You could organize it a little. How about creating ranks?
Like a person donated
5 euro = small donation
10 euro = average donation
20 euro = big donation
100000000000 euro = king of kings
or similar.

I was thinking about a small "badge" from 5 USD maybe, that You would offer (automatically by Yourself) to every donor who is registered on the forum. Probably most donors would accept the offer and maybe it would encourage others too to get one. It would be an alternative to contribute to the project and be "recognized" for the efforts, even if the person cannot even use CE, just ask for cheats. It may sound funny for someone who has never heard about marketing or psychology at all, but anyone with a brain would see that this would be a source of motivation to contribute, as people want to compete all the time anyway.

EDIT:
And yes, this would mean that You would actually need to talk to people more than it is just neccessary and be a bit more open in social aspects. But this may bring money for You. You are popular and everything, but You could be even more popular if You would want to. I know You don't want, but You loose money because of that.
