Q: What will I get if I donate?
A: Aside from all the benefits listed below, check out this link for specific shows and episodes that you will be able to download. Note, a lot of our stuff is now on Rapidshare alongside Megaupload.

Q: What happened to Google Checkout?
A: We were receiving too many fraudulent transactions (stolen credit cards, etc) through Google Checkout. It ended up costing us money, personally, to compensate the victims. Thus, we now only accept Paypal.

Q: Didn't you used to have different levels/tiers of donations?
A: We sure did, but times have changed. You used to be able to buy an RS or MU account along with your donation, but it was too much of a hassle for us to process the separate account. Plus, file hosts have changed over the years. RS used to be the top dog in file hosting. Not anymore. As hosts evolve, new links will appear for more downloading diversity. We now only offer the $8 donation, which AUTOMATICALLY grants you access to the coveted Direct Downloads forum.

Q:Why should I donate, anyhow?

  • WTATA is over six years old (that's a looooong time in 'net-speak). Before us, finding your Whose Line fix was nearly impossible. We know, because we tried. If you love WL as much as we do, think about helping us out. :)

  • We have spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours working on this site (and definitely hundreds of dollars in lost productivity). It has evolved through several transitions and is what you see today. Think of all the time we spent making this site just for you! :)

  • WTATA is one of the best communities on the Internet; even for non-Whose Line fans. Just check out the opinions of some of our users:

"...these forums are one of the friendliest on the internet in my opinion..."
"Now I'm really lucky to be a mod on one of the greatest and friendliest forums I've ever been registered on."

"This is too cool, definitely worth the $19.00 american (outdated price before Megaupload raised theirs. -Henway), that's like almost $21.00 for me up here (he's Canadian), that's a lot of money he!! but sooooo worth it,
Thanks Hen,"

A Rank Image goes next to your username on the forum and is displayed in all posts. It shows that you are a special, financially supporting member. Each level gets an image representative of their level of contribution.
2 A Rank Title goes above your Rank Image. Bronze donators receive one that simply says, "Bronze Donator." The higher levels get to set their own, if you wish. Simply PM Henway with what you'd like it to say.
3 All Donators have their username visibly placed on the donator usergroups matrix!

An e-mail forward is simply yourname@wtata.com, which forwards to your current e-mail address. It, in itself, is not an actual e-mail account.
5

An e-mail account, yourname@wtata.com is exactly that: An e-mail account that you can login to and check like a @hotmail or @gmail account. It is webmail and pop/smtp compatible.

A one or three month premium membership to Megaupload is simply that... use it however you like! :)
10 Reputation Points can be given and taken from other users on the board in a show of good faith or to indicate a job well done. Points accumulate by days on the board and number of posts. Donators receive extra points to use however they like. Lead, Bronze & Silver donators will only receive points when using Google Checkout. Gold & Platinum donators receive points using either Paypal or GCO.
