You can take a look in this page which is accessible when you click on DONATE and start counting how much the forums had collected from donations over years 
https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html
And you can also search in the forums and you will find topics where the donations, funds or whatever was spent and how much. I will give you an example

Nice one InvoKing
Thank you for the post and link. This new forum development has been going on for years, maybe I have it wrong but it seems either a case of mismanagement or incompetence that years later it still is being developed.
What exactly is being developed and tested year after year?
I don't really consider it as incompetence or mismanagement personally, and like any other i wonder know why it took so much time. But, I trust theymos and afaik the new forums should be available in 2018.

I'm not disappointed, nor is it a defence but an actual fact that the money donated has gone into the development of a new forum software whether you want to accept that or not.
In that case I apologise if I got it wrong, will the new forum be open-source or custom coded?
Any new donors giving 1BTC each at over $7000 will not require all that financial clout to go in to development so naturally the question arises as to exactly where the money has gone. The same way a list is provided to see the names of the donors it would provide clarity if a list was provided showing how much of the donations were spent and for which purpose etc. That provides clarity.

Sorry to disappoint but I will not be clicking the link you posted nor give further time to your defence of where you claim the donations are being spent.

How do you work that out? As explained above, donations are not used to pay staff and next to nobody is donating. Staff are paid exclusively out of advertisement revenue and donations continue to be used in development of the new forum software.
How can revenue and donations continue to be used in development of the new forum software? The forum software is FREE open source!!
The version used by this forum (SMF 1.1.19) has not been updated here for years even though plenty of free updates and versions have been released: http://www.simplemachines.org/
I do not accept that the "bitcoin donations are going towards development of the forum" when the forum is downloaded for free yet the people running this forum are not updating it.
There should be clarity about where the donations are going and who is using the donations and for what purpose.
Do you even English? The new forum software that is in development. You know, the one with an entire sub forum in Meta dedicated to its development: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0
This one isn't been updated for this exact reason. No point wasting time on it.
When the software will actually be ready or not is another matter but this is the latest info I could find:
Will the new forum be released in the year 2018?

Those who know (Slickage team members), one of the following answers (if possible) would be highly appreciated.
No
Yes
It's planned
It's not planned
Thank you so much and keep up the nice work

All of the above! (jk)
Planned for release before the end of the year and finishing migration in 2018. This stuff is incredibly sensitive because we don't have access to the full database and we're migrating data based on a running system.
If you have any issues on the development. Please submit something here or on Github.
Thanks for the nice words!

Funny... You just said development of the NEW forums and then you are talking about the actual forum!
And by the way for your information, the forum is using actually the ads revenue since barely no one is making donations since the Bitcoin price increased so much.

I am really glad I found this thread. It's great to see how many people have donated over the years and I hope their BTC was used well.
I hope this forum will be around for many more years to come.

If you donate 10 BTC (which pays for about a month of hosting), you get donator status:
I'd love to be able to donate 10 BTC, but if that's what hosting costs each month, I could probably do more good by helping you find better hosting? Lol.
Looking at BTC value back on 8/19/2011... has the site considered a membership plan of some sort? Monthly or annual, with some type of benefits? Maybe even multiple levels? Something that would remain fair to those that donated long ago and even any that are able to donate those amounts now/in the future.
I am positive the community would support this site through donations. I certainly will, without any "donator status" or benefits. But it's doubtful I could swing 10 or 50 BTC anytime soon.
Exactly ! And I'm thankful to them too

i just love this, man
50 btc at more or less 7000us$ per bitcoin, is 350000us$ for a forum badge...A FORUM BADGE
never fails to make me smirk, it's amazing, honestly. it's even more cool that many of the donators/vip weren't rich at the very beggining, they just came to the party early, and if i were those guys, man, i probably would've donated too, this community is worth some appreciation...well, maybe not 350000us$ worth of appreciation but definetely something in that range lol

I read the earlier posts and disagree with any notion that 10BTC and 50BTC donations can be justified. Where exactly are all these donations going?
I mean how much of the BTC donated to the forum is needed for hosting? Unless the moderators take some of the donations for salary and/or expenses it means there should be no other expenses. 1x BTC at todays rate of $7000+ would easily cover more than 1 years hosting.
Have any of the moderators actually filed any tax returns for any money received? Where are the donations going and what are those in receipt of them actually doing with them?
The justification is that it would be unfair to the original donators to change the rates now. Next to nobody is donating anything to the forum anymore anyway, though I think one or two people have (bizzarely) done so over the past few years. The forum is self-sufficient via ad revenue and that is what moderators are paid out of. Donations have never been used for that and the money that was donated has/is being used for development of a new forum. Staff are responsible for paying their own taxes, though there are a few staff who theymos pays taxes to the US IRS on their behalf.
If taxes are paid then it means donations are paying salaries
$70k USD would cover several years hosting
Bitcoin hasn't always had a price this high. When the majority of these donations were made Bitcoin was very far below $100.Where do the donations actually go??
