If you donate 10 BTC (which pays for about a month of hosting), you get donator status
Sure you can ask, but payment is more direct. I agree with BadBear in this aspect.

(Damn, it's too late to buy back those 4 hours in newbie jail...)
That information is outdated.

If you are paying more than 50 bucks per month for hosting... you're either heavily invested in uptime or crazy Shocked Wink
Also I think it would be a good idea to allow people out of newbie jail before the 4 hours is up by a small donation (~1 BTC)
Not that it is relevant to this topic, but...
Hosting is provided free by MtGox, from what I understand, same as with the en.bitcoin.it wiki.
And you can ask to be whitelisted in the noob forum.

I'll whitelist people for donations.   Smiley

Actually having bitcoins, and being willing to pay to bypass the restrictions is just as good a yardstick as a few posts and some time spent online.

I think this is a very nice feature for the forums.

It gives everyone any idea of who is actually floating bitcoins around (the ones that want to be recognised as donators) and also who is having a positive impact on the community.

New VIP donator: znort987. Thanks!

(There's been 4 10+ BTC donators today!)

Wow! That is awesome:)

Yes, it's awesome how people are paying for a free site.

They are either insane or very kind.
You just don't get it, do you?
Did you know that forums exist where you have to pay just to post (SomethingAwful), and they have 150,000 users? I'd say it is certainly reasonable to donate.
Eww was my reaction as I scoped out SomethingAwful.


I do it mainly because I would love to get a site software upgrade.
