I am going to HIGHLIGHT DONORS. Read about DONATIONS and free support

I am going to highlight donors within the next days, maybe a dollar sign after their name, so I can better differentiate between users who have donated and users who have not.

If a user has not donated I will only be able to answer a question if I can answer it quickly / from memory
If you haven't donated and post a thread with a whole list of theme rewrites you'd like I will have to ignore that, sorry
Even if you donated $20, please don't expect me to work 5 hours straight on your website
If you donated earlier, and you realize that you have more and more questions, do not hesitate to donate AGAIN, and if you keep posting new questions, AGAIN... Since you aren't really paying me anything close to a regular rate I'd rather not have to ask for another donation
For higher sums a German "Überweisung" can be arranged as well, please PM me

I find it hard to not help because I am a tree-hugger type of guy but the amount of requests is bringing me in trouble, and I rather offend users than my family. I can hardly do anything else than being at the forum these days, so my only choice is to either silently ignore those who have not donated or let everyone know that my time MUST be compensated. It would also be unfair to the donors if they had to share my attention with hundreds of others who have not donated.

The donations I got so far were between $3 (once, don't take this as a standard) and $130. Most were around $20. Please feel free to donate for the theme as such as well. The donations aren't really meant as a means to get qualified support from the horse's mouth at sub rock bottom prices. I guess I need to say it: You're getting a pretty good deal here. Where else are you going to get something solved within the day or next day for a few bucks? Please buy a "premium theme" (with a decent chance that it'll break in IE6) and see if you can get free customization. A few of those themes are deliberately hard to customize and use so they can charge you for customization at regular rates. And of course, none of them is even remotely as customizable as Atahualpa is.
