Hi there. I’m a new user, and this has probably been brought up before, but I didn’t see it explicitely mentioned in the sticky on this forum. Has the possibilty of a simple charity box paypal account been discussed? I’m not all that into merchandise, but I would be interested in throwing 5 or 10 bucks directly at the sdmb every month or so. Given the volume of posts, there have to be a considerable number of users who’d feel the same. ---

Yes, it has been discussed and dismissed. The Chicago Reader is not able to take donations. ---
